I lived in So Cal for 35 years, Never saw anything as bad as these fires.
Even the earthquakes weren't as scary. My oldest daughter still lives in West Hills. Heart was in my throat when I saw on the news WH residents were being told to possibly evacuate. So far, all is well in her area. Found out some residents in Woodland Hills (next door) made a citizens arrest on a guy they caught lighting fires. Called police who let him go for lack of evidence. California govt. sucks. Wishing all residents of CA safety and better than they are getting. Hoping the next election cycle will be better and what I remember.

Poor forest management and encroachment are why these fires are so bad.
