Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 By the Numbers: As of this morning, here’s a recap of some of the devastation across the state so far: The fires have killed at least five people so far, including three people found in a house in Napa county, a fourth person in Solano county and a PG&E utility worker who died while clearing infrastructure. At least 33 people have suffered injuries across the fires. More than 500 structures have been destroyed. More than 60,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. The fires have burned across more than 500,000 acres. More than 10,000 lighting strikes over several days caused hundreds of fires, including a dozen significant ones. More than 10,000 firefighters are working on the frontlines, but authorities say they are stretched thin. More than 1,300 incarcerated firefighters are currently battling the blazes.

Delita 698 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 The air quality has also become incredibly smoggy and hard to breathe you’d think we’re in China. It’s so bad. Every day feels like it’s cloudy but it’s just all the smoke in the air. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
54212 432 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We're also in the middle of a record-breaking heatwave with the temp going above 100 degrees everyday for the past week. Most nights it was still above 80 at midnight. And the state's run by monkeys so we have we have a banana republic power grid that can't handle the load on hot days so we have random rolling blackouts during the hottest part of the day. It's been fun. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 424 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 All of my Cali friends who try to talk me into moving there lol. I can't fuck with all the heat and natural disasters and since I haven't cracked the code of living bicoastal I'll stay here and visit from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites

One is to get the Californians who thought they could escape to live in Texas and bring their degenerate views over there, the second one is for the Texans that allow them to enter Edited August 22, 2020 by bhytre 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,983 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I just read that 43% of the state’s firefighters were inmates part of some special prison program. But because so many prisoners were released due to Covid, there’s now a huge lack of manpower capable of keeping the fires under control. Just wow....Is there any state that’s as poorly managed and ill prepared as California? Even by Democrat standards this feels like a new low. Link to post Share on other sites
