Newsom claimed there was plenty of water but reports are water mains to
fight the fires ran dry.

 
If you try really, really, hard, maybe you could figure out how
opening 250 hydrants near the reserviour might cause some problems
for the ones farther downstream.

 

So again, they were totally unprepared for this.

 
damn, you're dumb
 

Yeah, who can prepare for 80 mph wind in SoCalm in conjunction with
fire. Never happened before.

It literally has happened before. The Palisades burned in a very similar
katabatic wind event in the 1960s.

I gotta say that one video I saw today of a guy and his dog inside his
house as you could see the fire whipping around his home. I couldn't
believe the guy was still in the house given how violent the fire
looked. Only thing I can figure is he had no wood in his outside
structure to catch fire as that looked unbelievably dangerous even if
his home was fireproof.

They really either need to cut down the brush or prevent people from
building there. I know it won't happen. Just look at New Orleans or
much of Florida. Doesn't matter how much damage a hurricane does or
the flood waters. People continue to be allowed to rebuild in the same
areas over and over again. I'm sure it is the same in California even
though they know certain areas are bound to catch fire when the winds
start to blow.

And there are Native American oral histories describing this sort of thing
going back almost a thousand years.

Every government official or media pundit telling you this is
'unprecedented' is either incompetent and/or lying to cover up for their
incompetence.

It can be unprecedented given the scale of it but it's certain that
they should have seen the likelihood of a fire in those areas. Just
maybe not 4 or 6 fires at once.
