Beautifully written. I suppose that goes without saying, but I am just a stranger who knows that you and LA are in the middle of the unthinkable that refuses to go away. So, I stand in awe of anyone who is able to produce such a great piece under such circumstances.

Boy you are just born to write. I am amazed at your resilience through the current fires but then remind myself that writers write. Praying for safety and the winds to diminish.

Lovely writing. Hoping you stay disaster-adjacent this time, and not engulfed by it.

It is a very good thing that bulge and inevitable landslide eruption was not on the south face of Mt St. Helens that day! Beauty can certainly turn into overwhelming devastation in an instance, seemingly at an inopportune moment.

Love this. Being a local I would really like to learn about this subject! Too bad I was born before any calamity
