Rain on Halloween served two purposes - kept the ghoules off Hollywood Boulevard (it's usually such a wierd evening on the Boulevard,with people in costume walking up and down the street in the dark, doing nothing but marching. Pretty macabre. But the ghosts must hate the rain - at least in LA).

But the main thing is the fires have started dying down.

My own contribution to those who have lost so much - here is one of my favorite quotes by L. Ron Hubbard:

"Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today, and you create your tomorrow."

There is also a terrific book, that might help. Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought
