Our sympathies for the thousands made homeless by the apocalyptic wildfires

It is more fun criticizing

Our sympathies and our feelings for those made homeless by the apocalyptic wildfires in Los Angeles.  Surely they are angry and disappointed with their leaders and managers    As of now the hotels are full and some have nowhere to go.  Their next problem is rebuilding their homes and communities.   (Pasadena lost all the community structures - churches schools shopping cneters (hospitals too?)

Some who are super wealthy will find no problem in reconstruction.  But others who have no home insurance will find it a big problem

Some say its better to be robbed a dozen times but not having fires.  You lose everything and it will take decades to reconstruct.  Many do not have insurance because insurers cancelled many of their coverage because of the issues mentioned:    lack of ire breaks, cleaning of forest floors.    Months before this apocalypese, many isnurers cancelled many of their coverage.

Filipinos have been numbed to the fact urban deweelers encounter fires very often

Pacific Palisades, LA razed by wildfires - citizens vent ire on State, City Officials

It is more fun criticizing

Nearly a 100,000 acres and more than 10,000 structures 5 dead  have been burned down due to recent rash of wildfires thanks to the nearly 100 mph Sta Ana winds, dry vegetation, low or 0 water pressure, low humidity, including climate change. 0 Containment

Pacific Palisade is home to most of Hollywood celebreties which include Anthony Hopkins, James Wood, Billy Crystal Mel Gibson, Celebrities who lost their homes  Even Kamala Harris house was not spared.

Citizens lashed out at the leadership of California State and City of Angeles Mayor.   The latter was notably absent while the fire raged to attend the inauguration of President of Ghana.

Why they are dismayed at the management and leadership of the State and the City

1.  Donald Trump called out the governor for failing to follow his instruction to remove the forest growth near the area, and to divert water towards the watershed of California.  But the governor wanted to have the ice melt flow down to the ocean to save fish;

2.  The budger of LA FD was reduced by $20 million;   

3.  There was no pressure at hydrants;

4.  Home insurers have deserted the state due to cap on premium.   

Will this catastrophe be repeated.?   If it happened in the most developed country in USA, can this happen to the Philippines, less developed country?
