Native looks best. Once again America is better.

Nigger you what, the entire northern half of the state is a forest of the biggest trees on earth. Which are also fire resistant.

People like him think all of California is like LA, its not.

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

It's not the northern half of the state that's usually on fire constantly from what I remember so that makes sense.

Up in the Sierras they get really bad fires in late summer and fall after bad droughts, full on forest fires, and that’s how you get shit like Paradise, but fires are more frequent in the south and the foothills.

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.

I KNEW IT! Kept seeing these blueish purple arcs last night and I was positive it was electrical lines popping but was never able to see it myself.

 

[ScurvyRat]

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.

you are blatantly incorrect and I posted the data to prove it

Did you not read when I said it’s an unusually dry year?

Did you read your own comment, faggot?

Rate me MATI all you want, you're still a fucking retard.

 

[Male Idiot]

Wait it wasn't niggers this time? BLM bros aren't earning their pay. Lazy.

 

[thexbird]

i think god sent this fire as a owning the eites type shit they will be blaming thump for this

btw 1th post!

 

[RodgerDodger]

I listened to part of the press conference on a fox stream, if I were a local then I'd be fed posting. The fire chief says 'We currently have zero percent containment....' then a few sentences later, 'Now is a time for gratitude.'

What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people? Their city is on fire, people are dead, they are doing an objectively bad job, and the chief is like, "We should come together and be thankful for all our shit first responders. They are failing to fight this fire but you should still be so thankful to have us."

Also what is the deal with these sign language retards. If you have eyes to see sign language, don't you have eyes to read closed captions? And why do the sign language people make retarded faces. Like they are a clown trying to summon demons. I have trouble focusing with black Israelite Chris chan on the right trying to summon sonichu to fight hate or what the fuck ever.

To be completely fair, most of what the Firefighters and first responders have been doing is evacuations and rescues. they may not be able to confine the fires. In those winds I can understand why its not happening. But they have been doing an amazing job of getting people out of the danger zone. Life comes before property. Sadly they are not going to be able to find everyone in time.

For everyone making the comparisons to Nero fiddling while Rome burned:

 

[ScurvyRat]

This shows what he was talking about doesn't it? Its been unseasonably dry for every month

Stating that SoCal is not a desert and not in a rain shadow is downright retarded. That's what I was replying to. "Average" annual rainfall is less than 6 inches. That's a fucking desert.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

Did you not read when I said it’s an unusually dry year?

Every year in California is unusually gay.

The agricultural areas use more water than the entirety of LA does.

If we were to restrict populations to areas sustainable from natural rainfall without irrigation the entire southwest would be vacant.

The agricultural areas happen to be where the water naturally drained to, then they were extended. The water to feed LA has to pass by the fields in the valley, and then it compounds the problem because a certain amount of water has to be retained in reservoirs for the pumps to work.

So everyone in the valley and points north has to fuck themselves and suffer, not even allowed to piss on their lawns, so the LA people can have swimming pools. That’s the baseline, before you even begin to talk about how hard people trying to be productive can fuck themselves

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

you are blatantly incorrect and I posted the data to prove it

You posted data that said this year has had like 5% as much rain as normal, even if he’s wrong about it not being stupidly dry normally, this year is especially terrible.

 

[I glow in the dark]

I can't imagine needing to outrun fire.

Problem, good luck trying to run four football fields in a minute.

 

[Literally Fucked To Death]

Death by fire and smoke affixation is a terrible way to go. I didn't want to laugh at death and tragedy of losing homes but then I remembered.

They want me dead and homeless too.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Granted northern California (true north not the bay area) is more philosophically and culturally Oregon but it is still technically California.

Nigger you what, the entire northern half of the state is a forest of the biggest trees on earth. Which are also fire resistant.

Yeah, it gets tiring to always type out "Southern California" which is the part that always burns and anyone gives a shit about. Jefferson should snap off just so we can be more clear about California being the part that everyone hates.

The northern half is constantly on fire but it's mostly due to horrifically reckless and irresponsible logging practices and absence of control burnings over the last hundred years.

Any update on Kamalas House? I remember it being in the evacuation zone yesterday.

The Salton Sea was more or less a failed agricultural project, from my understanding. Nothing but rotten fish stink and Meth Heads now.
