So far so good. The power company has a scheduled power shut off starting tonight when the winds pick up. Got my generator all ready to go.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
All good here
Power went out for most of so cal last night and was off most of the day today. We have been on generator power here at work all day. Wind has finally died down. Hoping they can get the fire contained soon.
Dang…there’s a lot of Californians on this forum…I know there is 3-4 more I know of. There needs to be a cali Herf.

Afraid they'll be exporting voters?

Yes, and rightly so. I worry for Texas. Lot of Cali refugees ending up there the past decade.

These fires jolted my thinking in a few areas.
-Not everyone in CA is left of center.
-Fires don't give a rip about anything - they will f*ck you over no matter who you are.
-Somebody's political affiliation, whether I agree with them or not, does not affect their value as human being, nor does it change how I am to show empathy for them.
It's a pretty fúcked up situation. Nobody deserves that nightmare. I hope that this was not negligence. If it is, I hope the law suits drain that **** state. New Orleans is about to find out about responsibility. Lawsuits have already been filed over the attack on new years. Negligence and incompetence shouldn't cost people their lives or property. Fúck dei, **** environmental impacts, and fúck whatever else these shitbag politicians use for excuses. Make them PAY!!

Is it illegal for Malibu CA beachfront property owners to pump ocean water into firehoses to fight fires? Maybe I'm just asking the dumbest question ever but I'm not the ones facing 100 mph wind gusts and dry underbrush conditions with my back to an ocean full of water.
From what I understand, the catastrophic fires are blamed on high wind events. Same thing as when Paradise and Santa Rosa burned. That responsibility was placed on the energy companies and the cost of retrofitting was passed on to the consumers. Ask me how I know. Bet the same will be repeated down in SoCal. I don't think that the governing bodies, of anywhere, will ever pay for anything other than self-interests, "backed" by their constituents, with taxpayer money. While I agree for the most part about asinine policies, there are a few good ones sprinkled in there and I would rather not see our coffers drained. We all put a lot of money into that shlt; there are a few programs that actually help people that I don't mind paying into.

Lol, same thing happened with Katrina, too. Mom **** about the Californians and Katrina refugees all the time. Other side of the coin, I sure have seen a lot of Texas plates around here the last few years.

Choir here. One would think we would have desalination plants, also. Two for one prize there.

They are filling aircraft with it according to the news.

Just gotta be careful doing that. I remember reading something several years back...a guy in full scuba gear was found in a burned out area after the fire was out. Seems he was scooped up and dumped on a fire. Might be an urban legend but I sure wouldn't want to be dropped onto a forest fire.

👏👏👏 Absolutely!
I hope the powers that be can determine the starting points of these fires and just how they got started.
