Oh God

Ancient Olympia just burned to the ground.

*curls into a ball*

eta: After a whole DAY of conflicting reports, it seems that while the fire was in the grounds and burned a good portion of the woods, they managed to save the ancient site and museum. It's by no means the end of this, but it's a huge relief for me.

This is just a horrible, horrible situation. Those poor people, I just can't imagine.

I've been glued to the TV screen all day, and the images are just...I think it's the elderly people who watch their homes die that get to me the most. When you get to 89, you shouldn't have to deal with that shit (well, nobody should, but you know what I mean).
