Chuck might be onto something, but, not everyone is going to want to live in a cement bunker.
If you live in an area that is subject to wildfire, made worse by the lack of funds to clear brush and log state owned land, it might be time to move. California spends a lot of money, it just might be time to reprioritize where some of that money is spent. The videos that Ive seen show a firefighters worst nightmare of down pines with brush built up around them for miles, unkempt forest at its absolute worst. A shameful lack of housekeeping, in an area that will not tolerate it.
It seems we see this out of control burn every year.
Yes, pray for rain. But, take steps to prepare for what happens when the rain doesnt come.
Best,

Two quick points Ted, you mention al lack of funds to clear brush and log state owned land. Much of the forests that have land burned are on federally controlled land. Sadly that dynamic has caused finger pointing, when the stakeholders should be working to clear paths for more effective management.
As for preparing for what happens when the rain doesn't come, wouldn't you agree that part of that preparation is to gain a full understanding of why the rains don't come?
