I would rather deal with a hurricane than wild fires

At least with a hurricane, there's still a chance you won't lose everything, and the damage might not be as bad. But looking at photos of entire neighborhoods wiped out by fire, where only the foundations are left, it’s obvious that recovery is going to be a much longer process.

I get that some people in a hurricane's path do lose everything, but it’s not on the scale of entire towns or neighborhoods. Unless you’re living on the coast, but that’s the risk you take when you're in a hurricane-prone area and live on the coast.

Also, you usually have a lot more time to evac with a hurricane. People had to just leave their cars on the freeway in Cali due to the short notice and everyone trying to get out at once. The people in Hawaii having to run into the ocean to escape the fires only to turn around and watch their homes burn down was crazy.

You can hurricane-proof a house to a degree and the techniques and materials to do so are getting better yearly. You can't wildfire proof a house.
