Happy New Year's

The California fires have caused lots of damage to homes about around 135 to150 billion dollars worth of damage. These fires have effected people in many ways making them lose their possession and homes leaving them with almost nothing. Also, have affected a big chunk of wild life.

The fires have destroyed historical places and monuments like The Pasadena Jewish Temple & Center and The Topanga Ranch Motel. These are places that are important to people and family for their religion or legacy. Hopefully once over can be restored.
