I have a blind spot, having lived for ~30 years at the interface in question. We had an emergency evac order, with < 20 minutes to get out, with November winds > 60 MPH, over a mile from the main road, and in an absolute logjam of traffic. A wall of smoke and flames, 10-alarm callout.
All things burn, in many cases regardless of how new, old, trimmed, not trimmed, mowed, not mowed the conditions are. Droughts and strong gusty winds set up Red Flag Warning conditions. A stray lit cigarette butt tossed out of a moving car, power lines, a hot engine in a vehicle parked on grass mowed a week earlier, reflective windows⊠thereâs a lot of ways to tip this balance:
Much of California is a fire-dependent landscape, with fire-adapted ecosystems. Or was. Before the developers stampeded us into their own gold rush and buried this scientific fact. Youâd have to turn SoCal into a denuded moonscape in order to âpreventâ brush fires and forest fires.
This weird place is a couple blocks E, and several blocks N of us.
$1.5M?! Theyâre smoking something I never wanna try!
First thing Iâd do? Build Walls!
ETA: It canât be fun when thereâs a football game at Wayne State, which is everything you see across the street. The PA is so damn loud, we can easily make out every word the announcer says
