Some of the destruction was due to not shutting the smart meters down which caused multiple gas explosions. You can see the blue flashes on night videos. That is another reason everything was burning so hot in areas. The fire was being accelerated with gas. A wildfire does not leave trees standing around a completely leveled house.  I spoke with several fire people that were on the ground including a battalion chief and they all said the same thing. They had never seen anything like it before. They could not fight it because it was not a wildfire. They were forced to concentrate their efforts on rescue. The brass seemed genuinely rattled and afraid to say too much. There is so much more to this.  I think POTUS had some idea because when he viewed the burned out areas he seemed more pissed than upset at the losses. So, I would have to ask who he was pissed at?
