Deadly forest fires.
Every day, the headlines tell tales of nature’s fury and its unpredictable wrath—raging forest fires that consume massive acres of land, blizzards that shroud towns in snow, ice storms that turn neighborhoods into winter wonderlands gone wrong, and the chilling grip of polar vortexes. Severe rain events unleash torrents that lead to catastrophic flooding, transforming serene landscapes into perilous waterscapes.
