L.A. residents have plumbed and electrified the wilderness of Los Angeles , but we haven't tamed it.

We know there will be earthquakes but we retrofit and tell ourselves they are high-risk, low-probability events.

A confluence of extraordinarily bad events — no significant rainfall since May (that drizzle on your car window on Christmas Eve didn’t count) and a merciless hurricane-like windstorm whipped a fire that may have started in a backyard in Pacific Palisades .

Or was this just a once-in-a-generation fire that out-drank the city’s water system? There are other questions.

People have criticized Mayor Karen Bass for being out of the country when the fire started on Tuesday .

Bass obviously could not have stopped the fire.

But what she must do now is follow through on her promise to help people rebuild aggressively.
