Some found roads blocked by fallen power lines and there was no escape.

These wildfires are regular in Cali. Nothing to write home about. Next year we will hear the same storo with an even more record-breaking one. The funny thing is that those in the fire corridors never move. Just like those in Tornado Alley in the Mid West and South. In that way they are very similar to Kiinyans. Hapa we cry "drought" when there is no rain for months on end. Then when the rains come we cry "floods!" No planning to tame both as God commanded (have dominion over the earth). If every single house harvested rain water during flood season, and water pans were built by county and national gavas every few km, nobody would be crying that NWSC and other water boards are not supplying water. Poor planning is our Achilles heel. Pick Botha once said the average Mwaafrika does not plan beyond a day, but that applies in general to most of humanity of every race and colour and creed.

Sodom & Gomorrah!

Total bullcrap. Eti blacks are more vulnerable to fires? So how does the fire discriminate? This is taking racism too far. Bazungu should just accept that they are totally hopeless in controlling the wildfires instead of bringing blacks and minorities into the picture. Sonko rescue team would have done a better job.
