30.10.2025 19:27 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Good, tho the Palisades fire hasn't been shown to have been caused by power lines, while Altadena's probably was. My old house & gardens were incinerated in the Eaton fire; dumb luck that it wasn't subsequently buried in a debris flow. The breakneck rebuilding without updated infrastructure is nuts

Trump killed a crucial disaster database. This nonprofit just saved it.
Climate Central revived the federal list of billion-dollar disasters, another example of nonprofits providing data the government deletes.
