This is beyond cataclysmic, these fires, a fire storm, a true nightmare, but even those words are nothing in comparison to the pain [of] bulldozing the 2nd largest city in America.

A city I love deeply.“I’m thankful to my neighbours there who have stayed on the phone with me updating me about my neighbourhood as I’m halfway across the country, and to my dear friend @erinmariedean who made the trip to my house to save as much artwork as possible in the event that all may be lost.”The vocalist – who grew up in Florida and also owns a house in Nashville, Tennessee – said she was “lucky to have great people in [her] life who show up”, adding: “Very fucking lucky.”A post shared by Alison Mosshart (@amosshart)Mosshart continued: “After these fires (soon I hope) die down and stock of loss is taken and those who lost everything must begin again, it’s going to have to be a community effort, it’s going.
