The fires in Greece have an apocalyptic look

People being evacuated as houses and hotels are incinerated. This is scary .

Saw a story on it earlier. Terrible scene. Something like 20,000 people evacuated. Crazy.
And what drives me nuts, which I always see in comment sections in stories about wildfires, is "It's ok. Fire is good for the forest." That tells me immediately that those people don't live around wildfires or understand the impact. Outside of the loss of property, mudslides and everything else that comes with them, including death, there's zero guarantee these days that forests regenerate. These are long lasting events that aren't over when the fire dies out.

@Patriot96 Nah. Asphalt isn't my jam. Maybe it's yours. I've been there. Couldn't pay me enough to go back to it.
