    True, most of us live with some adverse weather events. I live in tornado alley, I can recall seeing one in my lifetime. In southern cal that threat is pretty much an annual event. The brush burns, houses are destroyed, the rains come and the mud flows. Much of this could be prevented but environmental groups get in the way. They don't like controlled burns, they don't like hand clearing the brush, they don't like anything that might possibly upset the habitat of some useless bug.

    Yes it is the same here, but controlled burns are done regularly because we know what the cycle is, we time it at eleven years between major events and that is even with management. The possibility is this will be a big year for fires we have already had two fire weather events. Do you know those dills in Copenhagen want to count the fires and the hazard reduction in our CO2 targets? So in the interests of saving the world we won't have bush fires.

    I've been in my major fires, seen the mountains dripping fire like lava from a volcano, lived in a blackened landscape, etc, no more

    People have to be protected from themselves but sometimes you can't do that, just too many people, too many dills on both sides of the argument.

    Don't have tornadoes here just lovely little winds called willy willies, rip the tops out of trees and chuck them about, rip the roof off the house next door and leave everything else untouched, Sometimes the bush on my property looked like a giant's playground
