In response to this post

* I learned my lesson from this one, and will be posting all Ventura County fire evacs here instead of relying on other folks. I don't know if the info I had but could not post would have helped prevent this, but... 😥


@ai6yr 💔 This tragedy was not on you. That feeling is awful though.

@ai6yr I went through the same line of thought some years ago, when a microburst pulled the fire into a road and trapped 47 people there, they all died. Me and many others in my country were relaying info on road closures from local radio and police advisories, putting them on Twitter and other social media that day (and night). No one could have predicted it and not even the authorities knew what had happened to the victims until several hours after the tragedy.
We are not all-knowing nor all-powerful, we have (human) limitations and when you have to help we do it where and when we can, you have put others first many many times (I've seen it time and again), to help others you have to be able to help in the first place, so what happened isn't your fault, at all.
Take care and keep up the good fight, you have saved many people already and there are still many lives to save. 🫂
