The California Fires that are causing such destruction and death are fed by the California winds and dryness but still, it's difficult to comprehend the scope of the damage. The dollar amount of the damage alone is unfathomable not to mention the loss of human, and animal, life for those that either thought they could escape it and waited until they couldn't or those caught while attempting to evacuate. It also seems we hear about these fires affecting California more than any other States and I wonder if part of the damage is due to certain State government policies?
Regardless of the causes and who, if any, are to blame it is a true tragedy for many and even though with respect to the whole of the state the areas that are burning are small in area for those affected they are huge and massive. It seems that certain parts of the country are prone to various types of disasters such as for this area damage due to Tornados or from Hurricanes that come through the Gulf and into the state. No doubt people will rebuild but with the fires and potential earthquakes that could strike at any moment, California is truly a risky location to live in even if for many it is paradise.
