It's plain human arrogance and stupidity to have a city where LA is, knowing what we know about the buffet of natural disasters that plague the area. Same goes for Southern Florida. Any other animal, even ancient Humans, would simply leave. But people gonna people cos that's where the particular branch of whatever they work is, and it would involve effort to move.
Corinthians 15:57; But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus

And as with every major fire it brings out the loons that lite fires not wanting to be outdone.

The winds come back tonight as will the fire risks.

Fire reservoirs empty for months.
About 100 fire trucks in a lot awaiting repairs for two years due to less funding.
DEI leadership, all are gay women of colour.
$17 million taken from fire budget last year.
CA environmental laws prohibit clearing of brush and fire breaks. No forest management.

Arson is the biggest cause of all these fires over the last few years. The next is power lines crossing in wind. Actually if we look back on a huge number of these all over the US west most were arson. One massive fire in Colorado was a firewoman starting it. The fires in northern CA two years ago were arson. Can't account for insanity.
