3. The fires are still spreading! This is a major urban area.

Imagine a fire like this in NYC! Many buildings are destroyed or about to be destroyed. Chateau Marmont is close to being burned down now....I am in tears watching the news. Too many of my coworkers and students lost homes in San Diego in 2003 and 2007, it is beyond terrible. At least fire departments are being allowed to fly water carrying planes after dark. That was a severe problem 20 years ago. The winds would kick up and there was nothing coming as far as water goes. The fire jumped across 8 lanes of the freeway I drove to school. It looked like the lunar surface.
