TRANSCRIPT
the reality is is that it was November 8th and we hadn't had any kind of
significant rain it had always rained before trick-or-treating right i mean right
and now and now we're in these patterns here where we don't see rain
until you know into November that morning the wind cranked up and you
know you're kind of waiting like what's coming next in this particular case
it was a fire eight miles away throwing up a column full of embers and
darkest blackest calm smoke I've ever seen and then a 40 mile an
hour wind taking that over the top of paradise in perfect alignment and
dropping it on the town of paradise and so it really was the perfect
storm we lost some thousand acres of land there was multiple fires
burning for at least a week probably more we just tried to save what
we can save and help people along the way is about all we could
do it didn't matter if we had a thousand
