UPDATE
WE HAVE LITERALLY JUST PUT THE PHONE DOWN FROM SPEAKING TO THE
VOLUNTEERS AT KIM'S ANIMAL RESCUE. YOU WILL SEE AN UPDATE AND
A VIDEO DESCRIBING THE EVENTS OF THAT NIGHT ON KIM'S WEBSITE.
WHAT HAPPENED AT KIM'S RESCUE IS AN ACT OF GOD, BECAUSE IF THE
WIND HAD NOT CHANGED DIRECTION, THE RESCUE WOULD HAVE BEEN
DEMOLISHED, FLATTENED - WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT - WITHIN
30 MINUTES. THE RIVER BED SITS LITERALLY ABOUT 150M FROM THE
BOTTOM BUILDING, THE CATTERY. AS MARTIN JUST SAID ON THE VIDEO
THE FIRE WOULD HAVE HIT THE RESCUE WITHIN MINUTES. AS YOU CAN
SEE THAT RIVER BED IS WITHIN 3M FROM A CHARRED AND DEMOLISHED
LANDSCAPE. OUR HEARTS AND THOUGHTS GO OUT TO ALL HELPERS AND
ANIMALS.
EVENTHOUGH NO BUILDING HAS BEEN DESTROYED, THE RESCUE IS COVERED
IN ASH AND A MASSIVE CLEAN UP OPERATION HAS TO TAKE PLACE, BUT
WE DO CONFIRM THAT THE RESCUE STILL HAS NO ELECTRICITY, AND ALSO
NO WATER WATER WHICH HAS TO BE BOUGHT FROM "EL ROCIERO" IN WATER
TANKS OF 8000 LITERS AT A COST OF 90 EUROS WHICH WILL LAST 3-4 DAYS.
AS IT SAYS ON KIM'S WEBSITE THUS FAR NO DOGS HAVE BEEN LOST AND
THREE CATS HAVE NOT RETURNED TO THE RESCUE CENTRE YET. WE ARE SO
GRATEFUL FOR THIS, WHAT A MIRACLE!
GOOD NIGHT TO ALL YOU ANIMAL LOVERS LOVERS! PETER & SUSANNAH
