One thought on “Destructive Northern California wildfires have entered the record books”

  1. It would be interesting to see some comparative analysis with fires in the 1960-1980 era with populations and homes in the WUI in 2017. More folks = more property = more damage. When will insurance companies wake up to 21st Century realities?
