The classic car carnage is apparently sadly rather high from these fires. 

Southern California has such an active automotive scene, I hate to think of what is lost. Olds Toranado content warnong for Drew...

As green as I try to be, there is one thing I disagree with on the side of state/county/city government and that is the let them build 6 ft apart building. Building wall to the property line of 3ft and then another 3ft to the wall of the next dwelling. This close building is also a cause and fault of the politicians who favor more property tax over safety and space. As such, the density has allowed these fires to destroy whole sections of LA and it is not over yet. I have plenty of family impacted in the greater LA area with some having lost their homes. SAD

You see the same thing with lumber farms in Oregon, David. Trees planted way to close together, use up all of the available water, and create a huge fire hazard when one starts.

With global warming, a day of reckoning is coming, and it won't be nice.

Yes, Canada also did the stupid thing of allowing tree planting way to close together to maximize tree output and yet the climate change has then ended up killing large sections of the trees, ending in very terrible forest fires as I remember 2019 and all the ash coming down from Canada over Washington.

My son took a driving test in the middle of the day, had to use his headlights for the test when this happened.

Human stupidity is epic.

I honestly do not know where to begin on the things wrong in that video, but I do agree with him that the best part was the engine to pull out and toss the rest away in the trash.
