Title
Bishop Barron on the Coronavirus, Catastrophe, and Contingency
Description
And he said, Bishop, what are you still doing here? And I said, well, we haven't been officially evacuated. He goes, officially, there are embers everywhere. This whole neighborhood could go up. That was my introduction to fires in California. Well, after, you know, visiting a lot of destruction upon, I think it was all over a thousand buildings and homes. And so on finally rains came and we were so grateful that, okay, the rain is going to put out this terrible fire. Well, the rain turned pretty quickly into a deluge and it prompted if you remember the Montecito mudslide, because those, those fire ravaged Hills had lost their foliage. And so when this great rain came, the mountain slid down into the sea. Well, that took place about 10 minutes from where I live. And as I was sleeping peacefully in my bed that night, about 25 people died now, fast forward, just a few months after that, toward the end of 2018, there was a terrible shooting in a bar restaurant called the borderline, which is in thousand Oaks, California.
