I Hate The News

"We aren't having a public health crisis in addition to the property destruction because the state and federal government learned all sorts of good lessons from Katrina!"

Oh, bullshit

We aren't having a public health crisis because

A) EVERYONE HERE HAS CARS SO THEY CAN EVACUATE ON THEIR OWN

b) California learned some lessons from the 2003 fires.

c) This is mostly happening in rich, often white, areas of SoCal

d) there aren't so many national guard units needed yet that the war has become an obvious issue

seriously people, wtf?

Translation: "The federal government learned the lessons of Katrina" means that they learned the PR spin and ass-covering lessons, instead of the actual disaster management and relief lessons.

Hopefully, your home and library, as well as the kids you're worried about, are still safe. I have relatives near that area and, thankfully, they are miles away from the fires.
