I shocked a woman in the airport coming home to CA one October. The tv in the airport was tuned to the CA wildfires, and it looked like the entire state was on fire, a wall of flame from ocean to mountain. I looked at the screen and declared that that was home and I'm glad to be going home.
The woman next to me about fell over.
It's kind of interesting to watch the dynamics. Some people panic, others adapt, and some ignore it completely. Outside the state, people don't understand what it's like to live under a fire. Sure it's obnoxious, with the bad air and the ash, but it's not like it gets reported. The news media alternately amuses me and angers me with how they report these things.
