We survived a few fires around there over the years. This one moved very quickly. A friend of mine lives behind Nom Nom a couple blocks and somehow that area was largely spared. From Rifle Club on it got destroyed is what he's telling me. I've not heard from a few others I know that lived in that area.
My former home, in the hills above Millwood nearly burned a couple months ago. That fire took out many homes around there as well.
Maybe someday the State will allow people to clear the underbrush, although I'm not sure it would have helped in this case.
From Wikipedia:
Sounds like a real winner.
I don't really know any of you other than what I've witnessed here over the last three or so years, and I won't pretend to. But I think you can probably get at least a loose gauge of whether someone's a complete asshole or not. I guess what I'm saying is, I've never been much for seeing bad shit happen to seemingly good people, no matter who or where...and especially if you had no hand in the "bad shit" other than proximity or line of fire. I've always wanted to believe we've got a bit more of a say in how things play out in our lives, a fallacy, and is about the only juvenile thought that has survived adulthood in my brain.
That's quite a shit sandwich to be served, and I feel for you and yours. I got my clock cleaned in a somewhat different way and to a lesser degree about 18 years ago. But It changes your perspective. Hold fast.
Your friend is correct. We were from Rifle club on. I’d post a video but probably shouldn’t.
Forest management practices are to blame for wildfires all over. When it gets too thick, it's gonna burn, so we either need to maintain it or get used to the idea that it's going to go up in smoke every couple of decades.
I also attribute the explosion in tick population and tickborne illness to the same. Thick canopy and undergrowth retain moisture. The forest floor needs sunlight to control their lifecycle. Wildlife management plays a role here too, with deer populations growing each year.
The government ruins everything it touches.

Yes. And they've become quite good at it. Almost feels like they're trying.
He's counting his lucky stars for sure. He lives on Houston and has 2 houses there. His generators fired up perfectly and were running when he got back in there Sunday morning. A lot of debris but somehow it went around that group of homes on both North and South sides.
He was in the process of fixing up the house next door. He's now letting some people he knew up in your area stay in it... well... once it fully opens up again.
I had just been up there and went by old place on Columbia in Millwood and saw that the last fire there took homes a couple doors down the street.
I miss the trees but not the fires they bring up there.
Gods speed.
We drove Aubrey White from the golf course all the way north to the neighborhood. It was still shocking and I had already been in the neighborhood yesterday. There's a swath of about 300 yards that starts at Rifle Club and cuts through Excell and Holyoke. Totally destroyed. Nothing in that zone. On the fringes it is hit and miss, and then they are mostly fine. It hurts to see this. This was a beautiful neighborhood. It is so ugly now. My neighbors asked if we were going to rebuild. Apparently some are saying they will. I couldn't live there now. It is too much, and the trees are destroyed. Could be a year plus before anything gets going. I just don't see it. Plus, who's going to want to insure that?

Converting a 4.0 to run on hydrogen would be like setting up for propane.
I know absolutely nothing about that project, but I assume that they are using solar-generated power to break the hydrogen-oxygen bond in water. I took chemistry a very long time ago, but I recall that being a strong covalent bond, meaning it takes a lot of energy to break it. I have lots of questions if the commenter is saying that this could replace gasoline due to the cost. Questions like - what does that do to our water supply? and how many millions of acres of solar arrays would be needed to supply the equivalent amount of hydrogen to replace all gasoline? If we use too much solar energy, does that affect climate change, since it is removing energy from the atmosphere?
