Dear @realDonaldTrump: What is wrong with you? Disaster victims deserve help & sympathy.
Oh, and guess who owns much of the forest land in CA? Your federal agencies. CA only owns 2%. Guess who cut funding to forest management in the budget? YOU DID.
#SaturdayMorning Thoughts
And now we meet the ‘surfers’ of Paradise Cove. With beers in one hand and a fire hose in the other, these guys get to work to save the ~200 mobile homes in their neighborhood (million dollar mobile homes mind you). A couple of the guys were lifeguards. #WoolseyFire
Mostly everyone in Point Dume Village and Paradise Cove evacuated. These neighbors didn’t. Watch them push this hose through to save property. #WoolseyFire
As the wind picks up a bunch of smaller palms go up. But our guys got their nozzle and they start putting water on the flames. Paradise Cove is saved, for now. #WoolseyFire
Backup arrives. The Paradise Covians rock up in a pickup truck with their fire hose and fresh nozzle. They find a hydrant and get to work. #WoolseyFire
