All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)

First one fire, the Eaton Fire, then another, the Palisades fire, followed by another, and another and so on and so forth. The Santa Ana winds at over or near 100mph on the first day and night of the inferno drove those fires like never before, and it rapidly became obvious that neither L.A. nor California had a clue as to what to do.
