The Santa Rosa fire is all wrong. I had not seen the Portugal similarities before. They had the same bizarre shit, cars melted alongside trees with leaves. Heat marks on the pavement from the car fire with no wind indicated. It's the same distance all around. The wind direction is the easiest thing to observe after a fire.
In CA fires ......I see.....Yards long puddles of aluminum on the pavement from a melted ENGINE BLOCK. This is evidence of something new in forest fire. I dare anyone to replicate this result, melt an engine block, with the biggest open air fire you can generate for as long as you are willing to try.
Aluminum doesn't melt well with flame, too much oxide is produced. It's first gotten from powered rock, aluminum ore, in a continuous plasma furnace. Blast furnaces for iron, using common fuels, don't work with aluminum. But an Induction Furnace melts solid thick chunks in a few seconds. These require extreme amounts of electricity that gets focused into a plasma ball. I've watched this happen, it's very impressive. It dimmed the entire towns lights every time that foundry did it. That was roughly forty years ago, it's not at all a new technology. Melted glass from the car windows is equally bizarre. Once again, DO try this at home.
California has had some of the toughest building codes and enforcers in the nation. A contractor told me that "if you can build there, you can build anywhere". The often cussed building / fire code is about fire prevention primarily.
These subdivision homes were as fire proof as we humans know how to specify. Seeing buildings completely flattened to a white powder, supposedly by wind driven fires, is a Judy Wood's deejay vu all over again. Judy's work totally creeped me out about the towers falling because it was the best explanation that fit the visual evidence and she is a rock solid scientist. My cognitive dissonance kicked in and stopped my brain from accepting what my eyes could see. (I pray your alive and well, thanks for speaking your truth Dr. Judy Woods Phd. You Rock! )
