Wow! The complete lack of awareness reminds me of when there were those suspicious fires in California where the house would be reduced to ash and the car would nothing but a pool of melted steel, running down the driveway, but everything else around it was left untouched, such as mailbox, trash cans, trees, grass, for sale signs, etc.
My niece and her husband lived in that area and had to evacuate for a time, but ultimately were OK. I asked her what she thought about the strange way the fires were just incinerating the homes and leaving the trees, grass and swimming pools alone.
She replied, "Well, they say that sparks just jump from house to house!"
Can you believe her answer?? No critical thinking at all.
Yep. Boggles the mind that the people right there cannot see what is in front of their faces. This niece of mine was class valedictorian of her high school and went on to get a college degree, so her lack of critical thinking really shocked me.
These comments boggle the mind. Asphalt roads are fire breaks. What in the world yall going on about. My mom and step dad lived in one of the areas ravaged by those fires in CA. It did exactly that. Skipped areas randomly burnt some houses. It burnt their neighbors home to the ground. Didnt touch their house. 400 feet away homes burnt in all various amounts of damage, each one different. I personally saw the aftermath myself.

Car tires burned to nothing, rim's melted, yet asphalt roads pretty much just fine ?

These are a few of the somewhat unusual photos, I'll have to see if there are any others that the internet has not scrubbed:
