The sad reality in this whole thing is that the people that lived in those houses that were destroyed, the very ones that burned, of them voted for the same officials that maintained the status quo; that allowed for the fires to happen in the first place.

Numerous neighborhoods, most notably Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and others; not to mention restaurants, small mom and pop businesses, grocery stores, pharmacies, schools, etc., have been destroyed. And this is only the first disaster The second disaster will be the next heavy rain period causing massive mudflows due to thebarrengroundcausedby the fires. That’s not to overshadow the current events, which are atrocious, but the video coming out of California is incredibly hellish and hard to watch. It’s surreal, and hard for the brain to process. I would imagine the people of Pompeii, when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, would have felt the same bizarre or unreal feelings aboutthedestructionoftheir wayoflifeaswell.

This year's California wildfires are gonna leave a lasting impression. Alot of high profile people have been affected, and despite whethertheyareRepublican or Democrat, of which both parties have skin in the game, the Santa Ana winds arestillayearlyoccurrence. The fires don’t distinguish between political leanings, but they do react to mismanagement, feeding the flames with plenty of fuel to provide the right conditions to burn down houses,goingstreetbystreet till there is nothing left to burn, and leaving the area looking like a bombed out city
