Southern California Edison is asking California's Public Utilities Commission to let them charge customers an extra few billion dollars to pay for their losses in Ventura County's #ThomasFire. In a few days they'll ask for more rate increases to pay for the #WoolseyFire. Hell of a deal; they burn down customers' houses then get customers to pay for it.

Those damages should be paid by SCE shareholders that have been profiting off of the company's failure to maintain and upgrade their grid.

> Woolsey was the last megafire to blast Los Angeles. It burned nearly a hundred thousand acres around Malibu, destroyed more than 1,500 structures. I asked Davis back then what he expected..once the flames died down. “Bigger mansions,” he said. “What tends to disappear is rental properties, trailer parks, people who don’t have adequate insurance.”
> There’s a lot of Luigi Mangione in the air..I didn’t sense that during Woolsey.

Ah, yes. Tonight is the 6 year anniversary of the Borderline Shooting, tomorrow is the 6 year anniversary of the Woolsey Fire (reminder on the Mountain Fire briefing). Apparently this is not an auspicious date. #BorderlineStrong #WoolseyFire #MountainFire #CAwx #VenturaCounty

#Lizards in fire-prone ecosystems not only detect the #fires by smell it (https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arab010), they can also hear it!

*Lizards' response to the sound of fire is modified by fire history*

We're very happy to have a chapter in this new Cambridge University Press book on responses to natural disasters, an adaptation of our 2020 Louisiana Law Review article. This is especially poignant this weekend, the 4th anniversary of the #WoolseyFire and its aftermath that I document here.

And getting real live, physical books in the mail just makes me giddy.
