Hurricane prep in Asheville, NC is a far cry from the common knowledge that the areas that are burning are in the crosshairs every single year. I would say a better comparison would be like being ill-prepared for hurricanes in Tampa, FL, or Mobile, AL.

probably a better comparison - I grew up in Mobile and we got smacked a few times - Frederick when I was a kid and a few more since then but I think the comparison is right. This guy in Cali (not me) is saying the PP wasn't expecting a fire event like this because it was so unlikely to happen.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not a “if they would’ve been prepared this would not be happening” guy. Not to the extreme. But it does sound like “they” dropped the ball in some foreseeable ways that has been and will continue to be, to some extent, mitigation actions that would have made notable impacts.

I don't disagree - they have been getting smacked with fires since recent memory. This one seemed to be worse - I think because of the winds being more fierce. The SE has been getting smacked with hurricanes for years - sometimes they are just stronger and tests our infrastructure more. This seems to be a "people and infrastructure" problem, IMO.

Everyone in the world screamed from the mountain tops that they needed to take action a long time ago & they ignored it while virtue signalling & peacocking to the world how great & wonderful they are
Any perceived progress they think they made to the environment was erased in a matter of minutes
Meanwhile they over taxed their citizens while wasting billions on illegals DEI failed homeless programs & every thing else under the sun & it caught them
Bit them right on the arse in front of God and everybody
Could they have stopped it if they had taken all the measures that have been recommended & proven to work for decades now? We will never know unless they make the changes

This shite is suspicious. With his medical condition you would think they would have a plan for this or some neighbors could help before they evacuate.

this has already been discussed. PP has never been in the bullseye for a fire event - it's like Asheville being in the bullseye for Helene. If they had spent money there, chicken necks like yourself would have been blaming them for spending money unnecessarily.

Who in California is saying how great and wonderful they are? You seem miserable and insecure.

It’s mind boggling that they can’t see what everyone else sees. I swear these people live in an alternate reality.
They also seem to have no critical thinking skills and just react to things that happen rather than be prepared.

should Asheville have been prepped for Helene? Wouldn't you have complained about their local government spending that money for something that should probably never happen?

Please enlighten us on the last time a hurricane hit Asheville NC vs the last time there was a wildfire in CA.
Wonder why Calif has had a "fire season." for at least the last 100 years

I don’t know anything about the guy but that does seem odd. How do they normally move him? I would think he has a wheelchair of some sort. Does he usually have home health aids that turn him and lift him into a chair? Maybe they weren’t there because of the fires and mom can’t lift him on her own?
