The Fires of October 2007
By Dave Henderson
Sunday, November 4, 2007
RIMOFTHEWORLD.net extends our heart-felt condolences to those who lost their home or suffered damage from the fires.
During the week the fires burned, we received well over a thousand emails. We tried to answer as many as possible with the most accurate information available at the time. Unfortunately, there were times we had the very unpleasant task of telling people the fire was active and taking homes on their street.
We received hundreds of emails thanking us for the coverage. We were not able to return those emails. However, we appreciated them very much. They gave us the fuel to continue working.
To give you some information on the demand placed on the site, from October 22 to October 27, we served over 7 million page views. At the height of the fire, there were over 2 million page views per day. To put this into perspective, normal traffic is about 1.5 million page views per month.
The mainstream media was here as long as homes and lives were being destroyed. RIMOFTHEWORLD.net is dedicated to be here for the mountain communities not only during the fire, but also after the fire and into the future.
Thank you for your continued support.
