And that her husband, Roman Polanski, heard there was awful news in his local area of LA and first assumed it was another wildfire that CA was experiencing.

This climate disaster has been going on for over 50 years (my lifetime) and it will continue to occur. The difference that really matters is how to prevent them in the future. I guess no one has figured that out yet?!? Maybe in another 50 years the experts may have a better grasp but people are people and I do not see any significant change. It is all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

My heart goes out to all the innocent victims of human greed...the animals and plants do not deserve this.
