That man's story is probably fairly common in that area. I can't imagine living through that. Some people went into their pool and the problem was that the fires sucked all the oxygen out of the air and the people in the water were suffocating. What do you do then? Truly horrific. The fake prez should have to experience that before he tweets some BS in the future during an emergency.
