Just read Joan Didion's extract to my partner after talking about the fires in LA, as I did so the last week's hot muggy, sleep deprived weather has given way to an overcast sky with slight rain and the odd bit of thunder - perfect foreshadowing for the story.

Just watched The Center Will Not Hold as recommended by @Roker ^^ (thanks).
I found it compelling viewing.
