The national shame of the USA is overwhelming at this point.
I’m glad she’s home. I won’t say “OK;” nobody is really OK after experiencing something like that.

Striking before-and-after images show extent of California’s snow drought
As California experiences its second-worst snow drought in 50 years,
new images show a stark comparison with last year’s snow levels.
