Worth clicking through to read.
we are witnessing unbridled evil
I saw where the local electrical company told people who asked....power would be taken down if a wind speed limit was reached (something like 60 mph), and they responded on that day...it never reached the level to be turned off. Course, you don’t know if the speed limit discussed was adequate or ‘correct’ for the day.
So sorry to read that.
Prayers!
Thank you!
Enough of the silliness about aluminum. It only has a melting point of 1220. Much less than gold and silver. Gold and silver melted in the Alameda fire that took my community. I have chinks of aluminum in a box I can show you!!
Stop it! Grass fire!! Don’t you think the “grass fire” burned cars full of fuel? My house was filled with chemicals.
Think and stop your imagination.
“ Do not forget that once a car fire starts there is a lot of fuel for a fire. The fuel (gasoline or diesel), tires (rubber), plastics, etc.”
Yep. Newer vehicles that burned in our fires were thoroughly consumed, old vehicles were salvageable. I gave a couple of the old ones to a friend who rebuilt them. There just wasn’t that much to burn on most vehicles, and especially trucks, before the 70s.
This seems like another one of the “we’ll never know the real story” situations.
The converse is true these days.
Never attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to malice.
Democrats have a well established track record of causing the worst outcomes in the most desperate situations.
Deliberately turning off the water, shutting down the cell phone service, and blocking escape routes is deliberate malice. Incompetence is not usually so well orchestrated to produce the worst outcome for so many people.
“I don’t rule out malfeasance though. Never again will I rule that out with this government of Lefists.”
I am more cynical than you. I do not trust GOPe either. I do not have a viable political party supporting me.
Within America are two kingdoms. The smallest kingdom is that of the Lord and His children of light. The larger by far is the kingdom of satan. Within this kingdom of darkness unbridled evil is facilitated and empowered by fallen angels and demons.
It always seems like the light of truth goes up with a bright flare only to be smothered by living darkness.
Quite often when a hurricane hits, the weather station is knocked out so you don’t know what the wind speed is...although it usually takes well over 50 knots to knock them out.
There’s a downside to turning off the power though.
agree 100%
Amount of heat necessary....can not be produced by a plain grass fire.
= = =
Check for radient heat from nearby hot fires.
brush fire -> gas tank overheating -> gas tank explosion -> gasoline aerosol
+
high wind funneled around and under automobiles -> venturi effect -> much more than usual oxygen for fire -> bellows effect on fire -> higher temperature fire
