This is an inferno.
This is NOT normal.
The years of fire that California has suffered does not LEAVE that much FUEL on the ground. These are fires due to extremely dry conditions, literally burning up anything that is made of timber, and I am not talking trees.
Why such events 'seem like a minimal circumstance' that passes and then people come back to rebuild their lives, is because its like a hurricane tidal surge. Once it passes over you it is over. Then all there is left to do is pick up the pieces. 'The Faithful' are real good at recuperating while being grateful for being alive.
This mess HAS to stop. Its not going to as long as we ignore our responsibility to Earth. For the faithful; God didn't provide a paradise as a void in space to provide for his likeness only to have it destroyed by neglect and self-righteous indignation leading to wealth.
THIS HAS TO STOP. California can't make its budget. It isn't because of banks, either !
