Jim Beem Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I see Gerard Butler lost his mansion in the blaze. Bit of payback for inflicting all his dreadful films on us I think 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 There's a guy who posts on a MMA forum and he said last saturday that the death toll is a lot higher than folk are making out, the fire spread too fast and the call to leave came too late.Said knows someone in the area and it was insane. He was pretty much rubbished but now there seems to be close to a 1000 missing, I hope they got out, but it was burning through acres in minutes, spreading much faster than anyone would think possible. I have no idea what the truth is but watching thoes tsunami videos was an eye opener the latent power in these things. So extrapolating that to fire...

I was in the bar later, and commented to the bar maid, that i found it strange that non one in the office was discussing it "What fire" - she had no clue there was even a fire ongoing in California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So extrapolating that to fire... 66 reported so far, and some are ashes highest this centure (or maybe this last century ) I reckon will be 200-300 Whole town burned down, (Paradise) and it had 25,000 residents, and a lot of them were elderly , who had retired there - i seen some footage earlier in week, and folk were driving through flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
