Fanned by Santa Ana winds gusting up to 65 mph, the Thomas Fire swiftly expanded toward the Santa Barbara community of Monticeto on Saturday. The blaze rapidly grew by 8,500 acres forcing numerous evacuations and road closures, including the emptying of a zoo.

With so much dead dried-out vegetation along the West Coast of USA, it is an ideal scenario for a major fire in California, exactly as has been experienced. The USA is thus reaping the results of its folly in building sub-standard reactors at Fukushima Dai’ichi. The residents of California should sue Toshiba, Westinghouse, General Electric for damages to property and livelihood in California.
