My wife did her Masters Thesis on fire modeling of Topanga Canyon which runs right thru this area. She walked the canyon and mapped veg then ran it thru the standard fire models.
The results were...what you see here. A spark during a high wind event will turn very ugly very quickly and there's only really one road in and out of the area.
The people in the area saw her results....and asked that she didn't publish it. Rich people don't like bad news.
 
Awful. I fear something like that could happen in Iowa during a particularly dry, windy fall day….with so many subdivisions and towns backing right up to fields….one combine catches in the wrong spot and the whole town goes.

They prolly don’t like the recent bad news.
Dang. Bad news.
 
Little known awesome tune from Survivor.



In a thousand ways
When you turn the phrase
The wind's like a love of a woman (woman, woman, woman)
Takes a mighty mean bitch, some fire witch
To set the night on fire
And the Santa Ana wind's gonna have its way tonight
Nothing you can do's gonna change her mind
And ain't it a lot like love?
The way desire takes you in
And stokes the fire like the Santa Ana wind
 
There is a reporter on cnn using a flip phone while talking on the camera with a mic in front of a raging fire. 🔥 California is crazy
