How SAD, what has happened to the (once) golden state!
To answer your last question. Overpopulation! ........Ca. has 40 million people. That is probably 10 million too many. I hope that AFTER these fires stop and the debris is cleared, that rebuilding is NOT done to the extent of 100% of ALL the previous homes. Also, insurance is NOT going to help at a 100% rate. And don't forget these Santa Anna winds could return this time next year. I would HOPE that the extra 10 million people would relocate to Oregon and other states. Mother Nature is a MOTHER and she is suggesting (hinting) that parts of Ca. are TOO DENSELY populated.
