California Wildfires

Lyssandra · California Wildfires

I hear from different sources that they're finally under control, but I don't like the news much anymore, so I don't watch it...

I was here in Colorado for the Hayman Fire, which was the biggest wildfire in Colorado history and burned about 180,000 something acres, so I know what they're going through. I hear this California one's significantly bigger (depending on what source you go to); 375,000 acres, I hear.

I only just heard of this yesterday. What started it?

Either way, a fire does fertilize the land so there is a good side to it.

I didn't get any sort of information on what started it, which probably means that they don't know anything about that facet of the story. I'm sure we'll be getting details on that later on next week or so. Wanna start an "info bet"?

Fires also mess with the archeological record, so there's another bad side. Go ahead, post another good side and we can start a back-and-forth.

Well.....some sick mass rapist could have burned to death.

Lyssandra

How likely do you think 1 of the nine dead is a sick mass rapist?

Okay, this conversation is turning morbid. Time to stop the back and forth....

So yeah, fire. It burns. Actually, I find it a little disturbing that some people refuse to leave their properties even if they're in a wildfire's path. A house can be a powerful symbol of security, and when it's threatened, some people don't think they can be safer anywhere else.

no...actually it's normal for me. I always end up saying I'm sorry for random stuf I didn't even do. I even say it when my parents would say something like "it's cold outside." Just force of habit I guess.

Lyssandra

Wow... That sounds familiar actually. I still don't recall you doing that until recently. Maybe it's just my brain being faulty. Again.
