To be fair to the chief it really is a time for gratitude. There are millions of people there who have no problem telling you how superior they are finally getting exactly what they voted for. Good and hard.

There are places in California where you can do CONTROL burns (not CONTROLLED burns you faggots) and we do use CONTROL burns in a lot of areas.
The problems with this fire is that it's not "forest," it's steeper'n shit, it's windier'n shit, and it's what's called the urban/wildland interface.
This is Eaton Canyon, where the Eaton Fire got started.
It's mostly brush species that evolved with fire, so if you did a CONTROL burn, it would be brushy again in three years.
The wind means that instead of spreading from bush to bush, an ember from the canyon can get whipped a mile into a drift of dead leaves in someone's yard and then you have a whole new fire.
This is the neighborhood in Altadena that got nuked.
It doesn't look especially flammable, but hot winds will dry that veg out fast and it's gonna burn.
This fire is a worst case scenario.
And the coverage of this vs. the NC flooding is that this is an urban area with a shitton of journos who live there and who can easily get to the front lines.

Damn, what a picture. I'm not a religious man but I feel like I'd become a pillar of salt if I were to gaze upon it in person

Hopefully Vito evacuated with the essentials: his collection of anime toys and hard drive of CP
I’m sure he can get back to his comic sometime soon

We aren't even a full two weeks into 2025. How could this escalate this quickly?

Don't post if you have nothing to say. Posts anyone could write do not need to be made.

My folks and I are currently dealing with this shit from a distance, we can see the smoke coming from the fires but thankfully we're far enough away from either to where the blazes can't reach us.
The only thing that has affected the family Archeops is the high winds, a large tree branch fell into our backyard that's gonna be a bitch-and-a-half to remove. And yes, it's a from a fucking eucalyptus tree.

I've been around that area and I'm honestly surprised it hasn't caught on fire up until now, the trees there all look dry as fuck. The only thing preventing it from getting as monstrous as the Eaton and Pacific Palisades fires is that it's in a glorified city park smack dab in the middle of the San Fernando Valley.

When I first saw the images of the fires, there was a term that describes a place so cinematic that you would believe it's from a movie scene. It doesn't look real, it looks like God himself has struck his wrath against His people.
In the Fishtank community, it's called "Neptunian Kino".
Maybe it's just me, but watching stuff like this reminds me of how Twitter libtards will bitch and moan about "I don't care about rich people so they deserve what's coming to him" but I don't know. Looking at 2 people trying to console each other during trying times is heart breaking.
God Bless James Woods, his family, and the people around him.

I just want to ask people to pray for the regular folk in California, it may be California but there are families animals Churches elderly, not just trannies. I pray the destruction isn't too bad and lives lost are few. Hope any California native Kiwis are safe
