Most people don’t really understand unless they’ve experienced 50mph ++ winds. A lot of people are trying to blame this person or that corporation for these fires, and yes there is a ton of corruption and mismanagement… but what they don’t understand is that even if you made the BEST decisions to prevent and fight these fires, they will still keep happening and they will still keep getting worse. Nature is incredibly powerful.

After the 2019/20 fire event in Australia we saw the same reaction: People blaming governments (state, federal and local); people blaming greenies; people blaming burn offs &/or a lack of fire prevention activities; people blaming fire departments and resources; and even people blaming the trees themselves (combustible types).
People were desperate to blame someone or something.
The weather didn’t give a damn. The fires raged for months. No rain through winter mixed with seriously strong dry winds led to a catastrophic situation and it only ended when Mother Nature decided it would (with the wind dropping enough to enable firefighters to control it or with rain).
My thoughts are with you at this time and I hope that the weather turns in your favour. 🫂
Exactly. This.
I agree the idea that republican leadership could have stopped this don’t understand the power of nature. Why hasn’t republican leadership in Florida stop hurricanes?
