I just watched the briefing from the San Diego officials on their actions and their requests. I will be charitable today and just say the elected officials are doing their best. In my humble opinion, they have been overwhelmed and there is no reason they should be. If you are involved with any kind of disaster preparation, emergency services, or city planning and haven’t run through the most unbelievable scenarios in your planning and exercises, then you are leaving your fate up to luck, and you have no business being in office. Everyone needs to “wargame” their situation and plan for the worst, hope for the best. This is clearly not happening in San Diego. Our thoughts and prayers go to those in the fire’s path and all those on the fire line.
