Looks pretty bad but the orange one quick to blame a democrat. Just unnecessarily insulting language. Its not like its a GD debate

Apparently ?? It is bad due in part to the excessive wet weather that had over the last couple of years ???

Nah, its because the governor is a democrat, the new cause of climate change

There’s an interesting pod cast, Trump is taking about how California should store water etc, and clear the dead leafs.

This is a few months back.

Thats an Oxymoron, Trump has nothing of interest to say.

I saw a press conference where The Bonespur Bandit was talking about water restrictions, and how he'd fudge them off.

Its a horriffic event,the destroyed neighbourhoods look awful.
I suspect it's going to spread wider yet even though they have got one fire under control.

I do however think about the future there, the US being so litigous will they be suing the LA authorities for their failure to clear brush, to have fire plans with fire breaks etc. I don't know, just chewing the fat.

I also wonder ir Mark Hamil managed to keep his light sabre when he evacuated?

 

[mattylad]

I see the document nwgs posted only has the word "fire" in it twice, so I suspect thats a sign of not planning for one.

The Mayor is coming under attack for reducing the fire service budget by 23 million dollars the previous year
