The aerial photos I have seen show whole communities totally burned to the ground.

Too bad California can’t manage it’s resources.
Amen to that.
They put housing developments in the middle of dry tinder.
Ain’t that the truth. And left wing extremists just know what’s best for all of us.
I strongly suggest donating through Samaritan’s Purse,or a local church where 100% will go to the victims.
I LIVE in California and thes fires have been the worst I have known in all of my 76 years of living here.
Dramatic footage shot from within the firetruck cab as they pull into what was supposed to be the rendezvous point at a K-Mart, and the entire place is on fire. The scope of this fire is hard to comprehend. Much of the camera footage looks like the opening screen in Bladerunner with flames towering up and gas explosions.
Uh oh, that truth could be construed as hate to those who hate truth. Better watch it!

The same thing happened in Gatlinburg, TN early this year.
Here’s something you don’t see every day..........
from the link “NOTICE: If you hate California and have nothing good to say, move on. You are NOT wanted on this thread. Get lost.
Works for me. Bye.
Berkeley. Now why do I know that name?

For Pete’s sake. This was just like the flooding from the hurricanes in Florida. It was a perfect storm: in the case of Florida, a hurricane following a nor’easter in conjunction with seasonal and astronomical high tides. In the case of CA, lots of dry grass and brush, ionically as the result of a very rainy early summer, and a fire starting during the northern CA equivalent of the Santa Ana, with winds of 60 or 70 mph. In other words, phenomenally bad luck. It’s nobody’s fault.
I wish Trump would come out and at least tweet support. FEMA resources are there, but he needs to do something personal.
It’s some pretty riveting footage. Those guys earned their paychecks that day.
I hope you realize you just set the tone, for what will become a thread full of nastiness and hard hearted comments.
What a fail.
Just fyi, the rural and semi-rural areas of CA are MORE conservative than most of America.
These are good people who have lost everything. Strange that people think all of California is LA and San Francisco.
This fire is heartbreaking it you can lay it at the feet of the tree huggers who will not allow loggers to thin out the trees or allow grazing to take down the underbrush that feeds these fires. It’s the innocents who will suffer....the farmers, the vintners, those WH have fought off the leftists for years warning of this.
