A friend of mine's father, who lived in Montecito, was one of the people who died.

He was the benefactor of a number of Catholic private schools throughout the country. My boys went to one of the schools he helped get started.

He was a wonderful man.

You should have seen the Inland Empire fires in October / November 2003. Unbelievably massive flames. Could see the entire mountainside on fire and looked like one gigantic flame that had to be several hundred feet high. Looked like Hell unleashed. It was something to behold. An awesome sight.

As far as damage, several fires in the early 1900’s engulfed areas that are now suburbs. Cities like Pasadena, Santa Anita and Monrovia actually enlisted/drafted every able bodied man or boy they could find to fight the fires. Even dragged them out if their homes at night to help. California was no where near as populated or built up then like it is today, but had it been, the loss if life and property would have been similar to the San Fran earthquake.

My point is that it is all a matter of perspective and timing which for today’s snowflakes extends no further than the end of their noses and what happened yesterday. They are so weak and completely self-absorbed that should a real disaster strike, they will be too frightened and shellshocked to help themselves or anybody else. They will be curled up in a corner stewing in their own drool, tears, feces and urine waiting to die.

Could be God’s judgement? Could get worse if California stays on the same path.

We know that climate change is making California’s extreme rainfall events more frequent. We know it’s worsening our fires. We know that it contributed substantially to the latest drought.

"Americans have to learn..."
