Where There's Smoke

Regarding the ongoing reduction of Southern California via fire, I feel like this is one of those stories where I'm obligated to have an opinion, only there's nothing I can say that will really add to the discussion whatsoever.

It is pretty remarkable that somewhere in the vicinity of a million people have been evacuated and, as of last night, there were 2 confirmed fatalities. That's some fine work by SoCal's finest. Also, for whatever it's worth, it sounds like there has been a lot more work put into making sure that everyone's minimal requirements (food, water, shelter, etc.) are being met, and, as a result, there hasn't been nearly the number of citizen-caused problems (riots, looting, etc.) as greeted New Orleans 3 years back.

In lieu of a real comment, I will link to Ezra.
