Who cares if a canyon full of skunkweed burns up in a 50 mph wind? If people choose to build their homes in a land where fire is part of the ecology, then they have to know that one day a fire will come over the ridge. The areas of Texas that are burning are not deserts but average up to 50 inches of rain per year. They are the equivalent to a 100-year flood. I don’t see why you have to try and diminish the severity of the fires in Texas. I would say if you want a fair assessment at the end of the day to show that the California fires are “worser”, then I would look at the dollar value of the damage. Back to the thread.
You just implied you could careless if people die and lose everything, suggesting they should respect the earth and live where disasters like fires/tornadoes/hurricanes/floods and earthquakes don't happen.
That's some twisted thinking there crusty.
