My very conservative and sweet daughter goes to college at Sonoma State.
She’s been evacuated for a week. I’m really worried about her asthma when she goes back there.
Plenty of good people lost their homes.
A long article, but in a nutshell it lays out how the Environmentalists and their Bribed Politicians CREATED these Overgrown Dense Forests susceptible to uncontrollable fires.

“GRT is looking to clean the last meat off the bones of this watershed,” he says. “But if this community is smart, they’ll realize this is their big chance. With some help we can set this land aside and economically uplift this entire region by creating a truly remarkable park.”
All of the people in those areas VOTED and SUED for those Policies that allowed the Forest to become so overgrown.
Not enough forest, and forested land, management in the way of culling trees constantly to keep the forested land healthy but not overgrown, not enough intentionally made but controlled fires, yearly, and not enough clearing of overgrown scrub and over-accumulated underbrush. You have years of not doing enough of that - just letting mother nature alone - and years of California drought, with only recent good rains, and what you had in northern California was a storehouse of fuel for fires whenever and however they got started.
And why is it none of the news goes back to the start, in which many of the fires began very close to the same time on the same day, in spite of being miles apart from each other. One or two fires not so far apart could be a lone “fire bug” arsonist, but so many and so far apart is neither what mother nature would do around the same time on the same day, nor what a single “fire bug” arsonist could accomplish.
Yet all we get from the media is the tragedy of the result, and nothing of the very questionable start of it all.
“All that air pollution being released into the California air from mother nature. How sad. Too bad.”
I think it is hilarious poetic justice that these specimens who panic at the sight of an unlit cigarette are being suffocated by smoke! BWAHHHAHAAAHAA!
PFL
“How sad. Too bad.
Is that a gloat? If so, what is your major malfunction? “
Yes on my part! So they fret over second hand smoke do they....how about some REAL second hand smoke Cacafornia!
“It’s hard to be a pig farmer when growing grapes is so much more profitable.”
And safer. If you have a heart attack in a vineyard, the grapes won’t EAT you! :O(
If they would only harvest a few tree’s they might help create natural fire breaks in fire prone tinder boxes...! But nah... can’t fight the tree huggers.
“The state of California will take a long time to recover from this tragedy”
Not long enough. As if this is California’s biggest problem. Nature can’t even begin to do the damage humans are doing to the state.
“My very conservative and sweet daughter goes to college at Sonoma State.”
I hope we don’t have to caveat every negative comment with a carve out exception for normal conservative humans.Our ire is soley directed at those loser democrats who have defiled the state.
So, you’re just as screwed up and filled with hate as that other idiot. There are over 40 dead and likely many more and you dance on their graves - seek professional help before you hurt yourself or any loved ones, if you have any.
I like “A Walk In The Clouds”. Sappy and somewhat historically inaccurate, but very romantic.
“I guess its going to be normal for a hint of smoke to be included within the taste of the wine for a good while.”
2017 California wine...slightly fruity, nicely balanced,flowery bouquet and nice finish with a hint of smokiness. Well actually a WHOLE HELL OF A LOT OF SMOKINESS.
“My heart hurts so bad for these people.”
Well about a third of them anyhow.
“If they would only harvest a few tree’s they might help create natural fire breaks in fire prone tinder boxes...! But nah... can’t fight the tree huggers”
Ive heard that homeowners cant even clear out snake and rodent infested fire hazard foliage around their homes.
Doesn’t San Fran Nan have a winery in Napa? Guess she is okay or it would be front page news.

Only when justified in self defense.
