Devastating wildfires fuelled by climate change are “the new normal”, California’s governor has said.

Hizo buloti zimechomeka zinauzwaje?

Imagine ingekuwa kenya. Some countries really have the fighting spirit and the financial muscle to back it up. Unajenga hao, tornado inapita nayo. Mwingine hurricane hampei nafasi. Kiasi tu wild fire. Mara typhoon mara earthquake. Ingekuwa kenya…

30 thou that certificate pekee yake

so Will Smith Fresh prince wa Bel air amededi kwa nyumba ?

Hehe But land there must be cheaper than the prices we are used to in NBO.

Ku recover ineza kua century. Hawa wapee miezi saba. Hutajua kama kisanga kama hii iliwai happen

I was reading somewhere some time ago that in the Sierras in California they needed to cut down over 70 0 million dead trees to reduce wildfire risks. Lumberjacks were making 100 grand easy,talk about kunukisha kitunguu. @Purple if you ever want to change jobs, now you know

Hio ni pesa smart, and who picks the bill, the state?

Insurance baba

In absolute terms, no, they are not cheaper compared to Nairobi. But relative to income levels, prices there are much better compared to Nairobi

155,000 acres ni kidogo sana in a country as big as the U.S.
Ted Turner owns 2 million acres and about 30 homes.
9 billion in damages is also not too much in the U.S.
To put it in perspective Kenya’s annual budget is about 1 trillion shillings. the intelligence community alone in the U.S. which hires people to listen in on non sense receives 5 trillion shillings annually. one parastatal,recieving 5 times our national budget.

Hizi buloti huwa zinauzwa na nyumba. Scenario kama ya puru puru hivi.

Dude, this is not state property that is burning. These are people’s neighborhoods. People are hurting.

This is not the first time it hasn’t happened. California burns every single year, usually over the summer time. They have too many trees and brush that they need to get rid off but choose not to.
