Sitting here in freezing Illinois thinking about all the Pantera people in California. Hope you all are safe. The news coverage of the fires is hard to believe.

@marlinjack - I agree with you. These fires have destroyed complete neighborhoods, it will never me the same. I live is a fire ares and in 2008, we lost 32 homes, the area is still not completely rebuilt. We need to pray for all the families that lost their homes. They will need it. Larry
...October 19, 1991 the 'Oakland Fire'. 25 People died. I lost My Mothers' house when the entire 'crossed roads' Neiborhood burned down. The house I grew up in my teenage years.
They called it the 'tunnel fire', because it started small, from a open pit fire on a windy day, at the top of Ashby Road. North of the Old Tunnel Road. My Brother was there and witnessed the fire crew put the fire out...then left in a hurry to get home for supper. He witnessed the fire flair Up and increase, to the Highway at the Caldicot Tunnel, heading south/east straight into residential Oakland at Lake Temescal. The fire roared with the Euctalyptis trees 80 feet tall throwing ambers that fell into San Francisco across the bay, with increasing wind, just as in LA.
The 'Pain' started when the Oakland fire Co discovered that their hoses did not Fit the New Fire Hydrants and the Adapters were in Warehouse in Down Town Oakland.
"When will they Ever Learn??" They CAN'T Learn because their Brains are Broken!!
Newsom 'Talks' real tough when Trump is Not around! I remember the News cast. Just after the 'Paradise' Fire. Remember that One Town Burned up with One Road Out! Whole Families Trapped in their cars going down dead-end roads...Killed!!
President trump was Visiting to suggest ways of storing water for future uses, the three of them were standing together Gov. Newsom, Trump and ex Gov. Brown. Newsom could Not even Look Trump in the Eye... actually 'had his toe in the sand', embarrassed. This is our 'Leader' ? Newsom and his Ilk have destroyed our State.
They Knew this was Coming, The 'Experts' warned them, all they offered was Hot Air and Talk. Newsom did Nothing.
I read a report stating allegedly, Gov. Newsom Ordered the Electrical power shut OFF in the Effected Neiborhoods so as to Not Start 'New' Fires. This act Shut Down the Pumps that Supplied Water to the Fire Hydrants! Take it FWIW. They'll say they were 'Gravity Feed'.
