South Carolina fires

[billvon 3,028]

Over 175 fires have started in South Carolina due to dry and windy conditions there over the past few days.  The South Carolina governor has declared a state of emergency, and tens of thousands are evacuating.  So far about 4200 acres have burned - but the weather should turn by Tuesday and give them some cooler weather and potentially rain.

It will be interesting to see the reactions of the various politicians involved.

Goddamn Zelenskyy!!! Good ‘ol President Trump is Putin America first best he can and that terrorist dictator is burning down all he’s working for. Which, by the by, is dividing the world up between China, Russia, and the US’n’s States of Canada straight down to the Cape of Good Empanadas.

I'm just waiting to hear about how Canada started a trade war with the US.

I wonder if we will hear:

"South Carolina just has to rake their forests - and this would never have happened."

"22% of South Carolina's firefighters are DEI!  THAT is the problem."

"Why are we paying for all those billionaires in Charleston to rebuild their homes?  Maybe just live on their yachts!"

"NOT ONE PENNY for South Carolina until the people freezing to death in North Carolina are taken care of."

"Sure, we will give South Carolina aid, as soon as they agree to redistrict, sell their mineral rights to the Trump Organization and approve a few casinos."
