I think it will pass from memory soon enough.

Do you remember when we lost a town in California due to a forest fire? A lot of people don't, already.

Do you remember when a lot of Nebraska was underwater, and millions of cattle, hogs, and horses drowned? Even people who live in Lincoln and Omaha have left it behind.

It's sad but maybe these photos will help people remember even when ecological disasters like these become more and more common.
