| Gee folks, the fires aren't even out yet.
As a former volunteer smoke jumper, I've seen up close the devastation wild fires can cause. The fires in CA are, potentially, the worse fires ever to occur in that state.
If you've never seen first hand the kind of destruction a fire like that can cause, it's almost hard to imagine. The pictures and tapes they show on TV can't begin to convey the destruction. In some cases the destruction is so complete, you would never guess there used to be a community there or that bone fragment used to be a person.
As for the utility and cable service cables, it doesn't matter where they are. They all terminate at some above ground location, a home, a building, a relay station etc.
Let's keep our eyes on the ball and let the fire fighters do what they do best first then we can worry about downloading this month's centerfold. |
