    Some crazy video from the Northern California Fires - Oct 2017

    Sad to think but THESE areas of California are pretty 'red state'. They vote conservative, own guns and a pretty far away from the Left wing commie hell holes of San Francisco and the like. The 'red state' rural areas of California always get the hardest hit. As of now it's 40+ dead and over 400 Missing.

    Damn, you can almost FEEL the heat emanating from those vids...

    Not only must have it been hard as hell to breathe through all that smoke, but others who have survived such close-calls with wildfires often mention how physically HOT it was driving through that, literally being cooked alive had they not kept moving.
    "That tyranny has all the vices both of democracy and oligarchy is evident. As of oligarchy so of tyranny, the end is wealth; (for by wealth only can the tyrant maintain either his guard or his luxury). Both mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms." -- Aristotle, Book V, 350 B.C.E

    Wow. That is terrible. I live in the woods, so videos like this really hit home.

    Two large hospitals burned down. A Hilton Hotel. Wasn't just houses here and there amongst the forest. It was the suburbs and main streets. Crazy!
