I've thought the same thing. There are a multitude of things they could easily do that would cause "terror". Luckily they are apparently too stupid to do them.
Wild fires don’t make that much chaos. Yeah in the effected area things are bad, but once you get away from probably evacuation zones it’s just life as usual. Seen many a fire on the mountains around Tucson, for us in the city unless you were looking at the mountain on fire you didn’t really notice.
