How much can Californians stand? How long can they hold out in the face of a constant barrage of natural disasters? The headlines this morning continue the apocalyptic tone. Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Pasadena, even the Hollywood hills. Familiar, glamorous places scorched, some reduced to ash heaps and rubble, “beautiful” people confronted by a stunningly harsh life lesson.
Ten people dead, and more likely. Over 2000 destroyed structures and counting; 360,000 people evacuated, many with fires raging and sparks flying around them, wondering if there will be anything left when they return. It’s one thing after another out there, a yearly cycle of assaults on normalcy.
And how do these fires get started?
Are they started intentionally, or accidentally by someone who thought it a good idea to burn something when everything is tinder dry and the wind is blowing 100 miles per hour?! Is it a spark from power lines, or dry lightning?
Why do these things seem almost inevitable?
I as wondering if most of the wildfires are set intentionally. That would be terrible
