So Cal is being hit today and yesterday with a triple
wildfire threat
3 raging wildfires with absolutely no chance of containment
yet
Low humidity, extremely dry trees and brush and howling
winds like CAT 1 Hurricanes
Firefighters working 24/7 with growing numbers of hydrants
with low water pressure and little or no chance of rain
Growing fires in Eaton Canyon, Sylmar and Pacific Palisades
Sending ash and embers into the skies turning them into
Dante’s Hades
Biden was in So Cal to name 2 National Monuments and prevent
more federal lands from being subject to the oil drilling bit parade
But instead of meeting with firefighting officials and local
leaders to insure federal aid
Or showing empathy and compassion meeting with homeowners of
homes that could not the fires evade
He flew back on Air Force 1 to hopefully the nation address
And light a fire under FEMA to reduce the homeowners and
firefighters distress
Do not be surprised if Trump starts a Go Fund Me Account for
those whose homes have been lost
Creating a fund to help those pay some of the noninsured
costs
Homeowners anywhere near a wildfire zone
Should expect large premium increases to insure against fire
their homes
And the building industry needs to explore using more
nonflammable materials to slow down the spread of wild fires
And cities and counties must on removal of brush more
effective measures require
