Title: California Burning
Post by: jay on July 30, 2018, 08:18:58 PM
I've watched the TV news for the last week as wildfires consumed the landscape and hundreds of homes in California.

When people rebuild, they should be forced to construct totally fireproof structures.

I wonder if it's even possible to do that.

A cement house with a metal roof may not burn down but it might not survive structurally due to the excessive heat.

That looks like a step in the right direction.

Don't you think with these fires in California that the good Lord is sending those liberal California's a message?

This post started in July.  Now California is burning again and this time the fires are even worse.

I saw on the news this morning that so many people in California have lost their homes that they have nowhere to go.  Motels are filled.
