I heard something similar about the Maui fire. Something about how blue umbrellas and houses with blue roofs were spared because it was a blue laser that started the fires, which, even if that were true, once a fire gets started, it doesn't GAF what color something is
I love the idea that somehow all the Democrats were told to paint their roofs blue to avoid it. That's some real Ten Plagues of Egypt stuff.
