Albeit an old discussion for us as to the bic lighter fighters I see this also as potentially creating need for construction of new homes maybe ?
Gee whiz.......where will one find that many forms of cheap labor in Kalipornia ?
Parking lot of Lowes or Home Depot maybe ?
SoCal is like living in a fireworks factory. It doesn’t matter if it’s Al Queda, a couple of loons/firebugs, a cigarette out hte window or a camping fire that spreads. The end results are all disastrous. Of course, a planned arson campaign would be worse, but terrorism is not the only way a mass of fires can start. Once a few start, crazy Santa Ana winds drive them in all directions. Then the uplift sends burning branches miles ahead, jumping firelines and starting fresh outbreaks.
I’m glad that only Momma Nature can start a hurricane, our local worry in north FL.
