Not to be funny, well I guess so, how can wind blow out a candle?Yes, terrain makes a difference, and a fire going uphill will pre-heat the fuels ahead of it, making for more intense flames. It's even worse in draws and chimneys. As I learned it, "fire goes where water flows".
That said, for this fire, as with most, the winds seem to be the predominant factor in the spread.
The reward(s) from committing the crime and not being caught outweighs the risk of being caught and receiving a light punishment or no penalty at all, as found in mostly liberal-run cities.It’s nice they arrested a couple of looters, but the real problem is the legislators and governor who gave them the imprimatur by making theft of less that $1,000 in value the same as a traffic ticket. Why arrest people for stealing when you told them stealing is ok?
They openly walk in stores and take what they want. Why not loot homes too...The reward(s) from committing the crime and not being caught outweighs the risk of being caught and receiving a light punishment or no penalty at all, as found in mostly liberal-run cities.
