7 is the Most Number of Eclipses of the Sun and Moon that can Occur in 1 Year

Interesting wonder why ?

Not Most but mean the same

Maximum

Here you go Daphne this might explain it

Eclipses only occur if the satellite of a planet is located within 0.5 degrees of the plane of the ecliptic, on a line that passes through the center of the Sun and Earth. The Moon travels along an orbit inclined by 5 degrees to the ecliptic plane, so there are only two opportunities each month -- when it passes through the plane of the ecliptic -- called the ascending and descending nodes.

These two points connected to the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system (the point around which the objects orbit, in this case roughly Earth's center) define a 'line of nodes.' Eclipses of the Sun and Moon will occur if this line of nodes coincides with the line drawn between the center of Earth and the Sun.

Again, the Moon also has to be within 0.5 degrees of one or the other of the nodes so that the disk of the Sun is partially or totally covered in a solar eclipse. A similar argument explains why lunar eclipses do not happen every full Moon at the node opposite the Sun from Earth.

What happens more often, solar or lunar eclipses?

According to Fred Whipple's book Earth, Moon and Planets, solar eclipses are fairly numerous, about two to five per year, but the area on the ground covered by totality is only a few miles (kilometers) wide.

In any given location on Earth, a total eclipse happens only once every 360 years.

Eclipses of the Moon created by Earth's shadow are actually less numerous than solar eclipses; however, each lunar eclipse covers about half of Earth's surface. At any given location, you can have up to three lunar eclipses per year, but some years there may be none.

In any one calendar year, the maximum number of eclipses is four solar and three lunar.

Oh Daphne that is so sad. I worked in the Burns Unit at R P H and Burns are just horrific. I think it must be awful to be burnt to death. Some die from Smoke Inhalation also especially the older people.
Oh I pray there will be no more and they find the unconfirmed ones.

Such tragic deaths and sometimes by other people's carelessness
God Bless them the poor souls
Is your son in contact with you by phone Daphne and keeping you up to date or are the phones down too.?
