Twitter and Instagram.

I don't want twitter or instagram, just facts.

What are the causes of the above fires?

Heck if I know!! 99% of wildfires are human caused. How's that for a fact?
power lines down, car crash, static electricity in the air, moron with power tools in dry brush, etc. etc.

Ever since a couple years back when my in-laws place and many other friends places were burned down, threatend, evacuated, etc. by the Thomas Fire, as well as the Woolsey Fire last year, I've been into whats happening in that world, as it could affect me and my family. Natural disasters, the like.
As info is available, I like to read up on it. Why not put it here? I know a lot of you guys probably check here daily if not firstly to see anything new.
Last weekend the power went out for a few hours, totally random. It was a good check for me to have some plans in place for if were to happen again, but longer.
So if you have something to add, have at it!
Maybe something you add(CM) will actually be of good information for once!

The last few fires in my neighborhood have been started by homeless people.

Someone here said a large number of destructive fires last year were caused by homeless. I don't know if that's true or false.

but

If you live in LA your property insurance canceled because of homeless fires:

Your Insurance Is Canceled Because of Homeless Tent Fires

Los Angeles property owners are starting to pay a steep price the risk of fires that start at nearby homeless encampments in the city.

How's that for good information?

Thats just great!!
What gets me is that every weather feed, site, twit,gram etc, blows up the fact that the weather will be hot, dry, windy and fire weather. Lets just tap the crazy fire starter guy on the shoulder when he's sleeping now, right?
Jeeze!!

That's a pretty unusual outlook. The crazy fire starter guys are like .000001%, and lots of those fires are from accidents and stupidity. That reminds me, I gotta go check the swordfish on the unattended charcoal Weber. It's blowing good right now :shaka:

Sonoma this week. PG&E did its whole new grid depowering deal. Except for the transmission lines.

Guess What??? Fire started by faulty transmission line.

Here in Santa Cruz county we have been "notified" that some time tomorrow we are going to have our power shut off. For 36 to 48 hours.

Thousands of homeless tweakers living around here in the brush. They get cold, they build a fire.

Everyone is pissed at pg&e for causing fires, so they warn people that they will be shutting down powerlines to prevent fires. Last week they cut the power & people were pissed that they had no power.
Our dumbass governor even said pg&e should give all there customers a credit on there bill....pg&e gave big dumbass a giant FU.
So what happens.......transformer off a main line is probably the cause of the latest fire up north, they probably couldn't cut that power without all of norcal losing power.
I also heard they need to inspect all the lines before flipping the switch on, that shouldn't take long

Power companies suck
Homeless tweakers & crazies suck
Regular People suck
Dumbass governor sucks the most

Only thing we can do is bury all those lines, start now and solar panels with some good batteries is a good idea
