Well we have subdivisions on fire, at least 350 homes burned(confirmed, the numbers will go much higher), at least 8 dead, entire subdivisions evacuated, at least 30,000 in S. Cal under threat of evacuation, the largest mobilization of fire staff in CA history, San Diego telling residents to minimize travel and cut their electricity use, at least 4 freeways shut down in just San Diego, fires still ADVANCING on multiple fronts on both suburbs and denser urban areas, air traffic at a near standstill and reverberating across the country with mass cancellations, the BNSF railroad shut down because its route out of S. Cal is blocked, 4 of the 6 freeways out of the S. Cal basin either closed or threatened, the numbers of fires increasing, further power widespread power cuts threatened by the fire, and apparently one or more arsonists still on the loose(blue/black van with 3 occupants reported to CHP leaving multiple ignitition scenes).

No, I wouldn't say they were being overdramatic. I'd say you might want to get a clue as to what the real situation is, rather than scanning a headline or couple of posts.

I've got a real bad feeling about this...Is this ARSON payback for the Recall???

Seems to be hitting the Recall Areas particularly hard!!

Is this Political???

G-D, I hope not...
