I certainly understand the frustration, anger sadness, etc. folks have...and we can all speculate about the causes (ignition, spread, etc.). Up here in Fresno, we watched as our beloved Sierra between the parks (Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon) burned for weeks on end, with folks losing their homes, etc. And Paradise (Camp Fire) is only now starting to rebuild...Santa Rose still getting on its feet.


...and that's just California. The South (Carolinas, etc.) are still dealing with the aftermath...folks still in tents, etc.



Be human here...

I sympathize with you. My uncle lost his home there, as did a lot of other people.
