Part of the reason this spread so quickly is the hurricane force winds, not only did it make the fire spread extremely fast, but it was too dangerous for any aircraft to fly in the winds.

The results that are being shown of some of thr aftermath of the fires make what is happening reminds me of how it looks in Ukraine and in Palestinian areas. Very sad for all. The death count is not nearly as bad.

This is the wildfire equivalent to the perfect storm, with weather conditions combining to create the worst, tragic outcome.

I have a genuine question as a European: Are you sure that a house made out of wood is the best idea? Why not concrete? I know you Californians prefer this for cost and earthquake reasons ... but this is just madness. I look at this and only see brick balls standing.

@@OMyers-h8y "not ideal" i understand. But their choice resulted in this. So, what's worse? Using Wood vs fires or Concrete vs Earthquakes?

No one talked about how insurance companies canceled all fire coverage before this disaster happened and how come everything that is blue didn't catch on fire 😳

[@AishaWilson786]

It looks a bit like Gaza 🇵🇸 at least the evacuees are not being bombed, shot at by snipers, prevented from access to food, water and medical assistance. How can the US government spend billions of tax payers money to destroy and set Palestine 🇵🇸 on fire but their own brave fire service personnel don’t have enough water to put out the fires? May God bless all the people of the world who are suffering from natural and man made disasters ❤
