In Japan there is a proverb "Sonae areba urei nashi" that means you don't have to worry about anything if you prepare for happenings in advance. Southern California's wildfire burned down extensive range, which is worthy of the distance between Tokyo and Niigata as one-line. One Japanese lady who had experienced Hanshin Earthquake in 1995 was damaged again by Southern California's wildfire.
