Anytime there is rain of any kind following wildfires the chances of land instability is greater. Land slides can occur as well. People need to understand the relationship of land and water that allow danger. Perfectly wonderful places can turn into nightmares for climate conditions comprising paradise.
In New Mexico we are missing a father and his two children because of unrealized danger. My sincere condolences to all family and friends of these people who will be missed by the community. Adults are missed at work, their place of worship, and the neighborhood. Children are missed by all that touched their lives; parents, playmates, teachers, pastors, family, and friends.
Tragic loss is so much more than a sad statistic.
