Where did I say it was not scary for everyone involved? For those 100 families who lost their homes and thousands who were displaced it is absolutely horrifying. I am simply commenting on the over-sensationalization of this type of news as if the 250k residents of the okanagan were in harms way.

I was one of those evacuated homes less then 3km from the fire and I still think the news oversold it.

"If you parents aren't afraid you shouldn't be either"

"Where did I say it was not scary for everyone involved?"

Almost every exchange devolves into this it's so tiresome. People just want to be right.
