JUST ASKING...
The wind is howling…
We are in the middle of a major red-flag wind event with significant fire activity in the Pacific Palisades area between Santa Monica and Malibu, California.
Due to severe wind conditions, there are no fixed-wing fire tankers or water drops by fire-fighting helicopters.
The helicopters flying over the fire appear to be for command and control, spotting fire outbreaks caused by large-scale ember-casts, which can cause fire spotting up to five miles ahead of the fire, and directing on-ground hotshot hand crews.
So why is the United States Army orbiting the fire area with one of its intelligence-gathering helicopters?
The Beech C-12 Huron is a military aircraft primarily used for intelligence gathering, particularly in the role of signals intelligence (SIGINT), allowing it to intercept and analyze communications, making it a valuable asset for gathering information on potential threats and enemy activity; it is often equipped with specialized sensors and systems to collect data on communication patterns and electronic signals, contributing significantly to military intelligence operations.
Given the terrorist activity in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Las Vegas, Nevada, is it possible that our enemies took advantage of a naturally occurring wind event to launch another terrorist attack?
Like I said, I am just asking.
We are so screwed.

8:00 p.m. UPDATE: INTEL12 has departed the area and is now in the Sacramento, California area. No air assets flying.
