There's gonna be a lot of cultural enrichment fleeing Commiefornia at this rate. Who in their right mind would want to stay in that shithole? Even a hardcore leftist would just take the money and GTFO and poz up another state.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

2025 has been so very "holy shit" so far. We aren't even 10 days into it.

And it will only get more crazier from here.

 

[Professional Noticer]

Holy retribution has come? 2025 goated year.

Jokes aside if there are any kiwis in Los Angeles please be safe bros.

Spoiler: Text Forecast

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1031 AM CST Wed Jan 08 2025

Valid 081700Z - 091200Z

...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA COAST...

The previous forecast remains on track with no changes needed.
Recent radar reflectivity trends show an uptick in fire activity
associated with ongoing fires across the Los Angeles county area.
Wind gusts between 40-60 mph remain widespread with more isolated
gusts of 70-85 mph have been observed over the past hour (as of
16:30 UTC). Recent high-res guidance, including experimental WoFS
forecasts, indicate that these winds will continue for a couple more
hours through roughly 18 UTC before gradually abating through the
day (especially after 00 UTC). However, sustained winds between
20-30 mph with frequent gusts above 40 mph will likely continue
through mid afternoon.

Patchy mid to high-level cloud cover over the region will modulate
diurnal insolation to some degree, but RH values currently in the
mid-teens to low 20s should fall into the upper single digits to low
teens through mid-afternoon as downslope warming/drying continues.
Despite a slow reduction in winds, falling RH will be compensatory
in nature and maintain a very high fire weather threat. Fosberg and
Red Flag Threat Index forecasts from both the HREF and WoFS suggests
the peak in fire weather conditions will most likely occur during
the 18-21 UTC period when the temporal overlap of strong gusty winds
and falling RH will be greatest. As such, a multi-hour window of
extremely critical conditions remains likely for portions of Ventura
and Los Angeles counties.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0143 AM CST Wed Jan 08 2025/

...Synopsis...
Water vapor imagery shows the upper-level low now over the lower
Colorado Valley. A belt of strong mid-level winds is now over
southern California. This mid-level jet should remain in the region
through mid morning. Though these winds will weaken through the day,
at least moderate flow will remain aloft. Similarly, the Great Basin
surface high will intensify this morning before weakening slowly.

...Southern California...
A dangerous fire weather event is currently unfolding in portions of
southern California.

As of early this morning, three hot spots (indicating ongoing fires)
are evident in Los Angeles County on shortwave IR imagery. Winds are
currently 20-35 mph with gusts of 50-60 mph (with isolated 70-100
mph gusts). These winds should increase into early/mid morning. RH
of 10-20% should also remain steady until sunrise when RH will drop
further with surface heating.

Extreme fire weather is still expected in portions of the typical
Santa Ana corridors. There is additional potential for localized
extreme conditions near the Santa Ana Mountains in Orange County.
Sustained winds could reach 30-40 mph and RH could fall to 5-10%.
With the surface high pushing farther south today, elevated to
critical fire weather will extent toward the San Diego vicinity.
Critical fire weather farther south should be more limited to the
terrain and the foothills. Ongoing fires and any others that start
will be capable of very rapid spread.

The most extreme fire weather conditions will lessen by the
afternoon. However, critical fire weather conditions should still
persist as the offshore gradient will still remain moderately strong
along with the lingering moderate mid-level winds.

Only a tiny patch on the outskirts on the northwest side of the city is burning. With some divine intervention it could hit Hollywood, but the city at large isn't in danger.

 

[AllieKat]

Monday Night Raw debuted on Netflix Monday, from LA.

Hulk Hogan appeared and was heavily boo'd by California faggots.

Hulk Hogan may forgive, but God doesn't.

 

[MoffAlbert]

Finally, LA looks like it did in Twisted Metal 2.

Assuming he survives his shifts, as long as he has that clip on his google drive and his phone handy he is certified for free premium pussy for the next 40 years. "Check it out, I was crew and fought the LA fires of 2025..."

There's a fire on the west, northwest and north edge of the city with winds blowing south. LA is not safe and there's more fires that can easily trigger with humidity in the single digits and 80-100mph winds.

 

[Fuck Bankers]

@#FF0000
Are the fires separate or is it 1 big fire?

 

[#FF0000]

I have a friend in LA, I believe he's in the northern part of it which puts him in the fire. I haven't heard back from him yet. Praying he's ok.

Good news, he's visiting family far enough away from the fires, and his house should be untouched so far by the fires.

@#FF0000
Are the fires separate or is it 1 big fire?

Multiple different fires, but there's two primary ones; The Eaton fire (10,900 burned acres) to the north and the Palisades fire (2,925 burned acres) to the west.

LA has fallen

 

[ScurvyRat]

I’ve lived here my whole life you fucking numbskull.

It doesn’t matter who the governor is, who the president is, whether there are Indians, Mexicans, or white people living in the area. Southern California catches fire easily. There is only so much forest management can do. And given that there has been no loss of life and only loss of property, this isn’t an actual catastrophic event yet.

Then you know how bad the trails are maintained here in Cali.
I was a wildland fire fighter for years. Lost my job because Newsom cut ALL the grants to the company I worked for.

Places like Colorado and Washington have VOLUNTEER LED programs to clean up their forests.
Those programs were shut down in Cali because Newsom LIED and said they weren't ecologically friendly.
Every time I go out hiking I take pictures of the sheer amount of refuse on the forest floor that needs to be cleaned up. Its insane. Well beyond what any other forest in any other state would EVER allow their forests to be.
Yes, this is Newsom's fault.
Yes, you are a fucking retard for saying otherwise.

This is our/neighbor’s backyard in Los Angeles right now. Power lines sparking against trees. Neighbor and I have been trying to call 911 and Fire Department for 45 min with no answer (as instructed by Power Company). Yes, a lot is going on, but the city is failing us.

That's a cool fucking photo.

 

[George Lucas]

most of California is in rain shadow from the coastal hills. You won’t see proper precipitation until you have some altitude in the sierra nevadas.

You fucking morons need to learn about the geography of the areas that are actually on fire. Pacific Palisades is on the coast. It literally gets a marine layer normally.

What is happening is that the winds have reversed direction creating dry air. Couple that with a dry winter and you get these conditions. It actually rains a fair amount in Los Angeles in normal years (and a lot in wet years). It’s not a desert and it’s not in any rain shadow.

 

[There She Glows]

Any update on Dax? Has he had to flee the shack mansion?

Dax lives on the southeast corner of Elyria Canyon Park for anybody following along on the wildfire maps, so he is not yet in the evacuation zone.

Spoiler

Sorry for the phone fag screenshot I'm at work. If you click into the thumbnail I put a little pentagram on his approximate location relative to the Glendale fire.

As someone with recent experience with this, you're at relatively low risk. I'd say zero risk if you were in a state with more moisture, but popping lines like this are all flash and little substance. Power company responded in 5 minutes and showed up in 30 minutes for me though.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Someone should play some Guardian taunts over some loud speakers while they all suffer. Everyone there seems to think they're the main character so it's fitting.
