Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

Sad to report that The Bunny Museum has been lost. Thankfully its furry residents were able to be evacuated before it went up in flames.

The cesspit known as Hollywood being spared while this harmless little museum wasn't is one of Nature's cruel jokes.

Omg .....that's a tragedy ....

I cannot possibly think of a worse place to live in the United States than urban California.
You deal with fires, violent bums, tent cities, earthquakes, trannies, and traffic - all at once. For the highest cost of living in the entire country.
Unless you're some rich banker or techbro that can afford to live in a gated mansion, I have no idea how the average Joe could tolerate to live there.

The good news is the fires have burned all the human poop off the streets.

I could be full of shit, but I did spend a bunch of time in the SF Bay Area:

Spoiler: In the housing system, california is considered especially heinous. In the bay area, the retarded kiwifarmers who find themselves there are members of an special needs squad known as the Special Victims Unit. This is my story.

- you've got people who moved for education, got settled with debt and high cost of living, and don't have similar opportunities elsewhere (not that they don't exist, but there is a barrier between an opportunity and knowing of it), my experience with those people is rather negative for reasons that would be TMI.
- you've got immigrants that are willing to to stomach the shit on the walls because there is a perverse incentive due to strong dollar value, so every hobo they tolerate roughly translates to X many pesos they can send their family. Those people are generally pretty chill and helpful, but as an american you may oppose their effect on the job market. As a filthy non-american I'm too much of a commie bastard to hurt my fellow working class comrades by taking up their positions in the job market. But... Reminder that sans immigrants, the US population is sub-replacement.
- you've got honest to god blue eyed americans that stuck out there, either because all their folk are buried there and they have parents to care for, or because they don't have family or friends elsewhere and can't afford to move. I remember being shit out of luck having to print a lease agreement with no printer, 3h away from where I was staying; this perfect gentleman from a random establishment knocked at the door of did me a real solid then. Real nice people.

There are plenty of people in cali who'll fuck you over, stab you, steal shit from your car. And I've never been happier than when I returned to my own shithole country, but there are lots of people who have no way out, either because the housing market doesn't have liquidity (so they are stuck living in their homes they can't sell because they are overpriced), or because their whole lives are centered there.

Then you have clueless migrants who don't know what a SIM card is, or fart-sommelier academic cliques and techbros that won't shake your hand but will hire you for half the wages of your american peers.

Imagine the smell.

 

[Kid Named Rocket]

I'm convinced at this point the new fires tonight are arson. I know the winds are bad but this is getting ridiculous.

>LA citizens hate their city so much they're starting fires to help it burn down
like pottery

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

It would be funny if some random fag was doing it. I wonder if they went to Fort Liberty...

There’s going to be more than one person who decided to cash in on their fire insurance tonight with a little assistance, mark my words.

reporters on air are calling these fires "to far to be spread by embers"

Reporters are complete morons and idiots who have absolutely no idea how anything works. With 40 mph winds embers will carry for miles and miles and miles. if they start popping up to 80 mph the embers will start raining down in Oakland and Vegas.

Reporters don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. All day today and yesterday and any other fire ever there is a risk of embers spreading miles. Some people on ABC saying “we heard maybe think told” about everything isn’t particularly reliable. I bet some people will cash with arson in but “too far to be spread by embers” is ridiculous.

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

So Trump's getting sworn in on the 20th. If this is still going on by then, is the California government going to refuse Trump possibly sending aid because "orange man bad"?

California politicians be like:

For what it's worth, I heard the exact opposite from the same stream. I heard them say it was obviously started due to embers from the nearby fire.

So i think the user is retarded or I somehow missed them completely change their tune immediately after?

Time to pull out this old card.

This one too

The top part isn't under pressure as long as you don't open the main valve. If you open it you hear and feel how the water flows up. At least that's how they work in my europoor country.

At least on US hydrants, the top part is also what holds the hydrant's valve in place. Unless it's been isolated by closing gate valves on the water main, it's still under pressure.

Fucking retards who worship the noble savage myth refuse the part where natives would practice land management with fire.

News reporter talking about red tape holding up military aircraft helping. Apparently they didn't help in 2003 or 2010, they might not be helping now.

California stops being retarded for 1 day: Challenge Impossible

Corroded or burnt. Hard to decide. Fire boats pump sea water to put out boat fires, but there would still be an issue of transporting the water

Like @RodgerDodger said, the only way it works is to use a fireboat to pump the water onshore. LAFD has one fireboat and the only way to effectively use it's 38,000 gpm(1.2 swimming pools per minute) pumping capacity onshore is to run large diameter hose directly to the fire. That's not possible with these fires.

Brick buildings also burn.

They also turn into human-sized pizza ovens when they do.

And that was an uphill run into the the wind.


LA County FD needs to just say fuck it and start building dozer line through neighborhoods. It worked in Colorado Springs, it'll work here.

im down to my last beer boys, its getting bad.

When has California ever refused to take taxpayer money from other states.

 

[Hooked on phobics]

Elon musk stated he will provide starlink service to LA from what I'm hearing. Which would be necessary since all utilities are basically burnt down.

Hollywood trying to remove P Diddy's house and any evidence on them by burning down L.A

 

[mlanguishi]

Thank God, the 'movie' she's working on should be ok.....

 

[Mysterious Girlfriend X]

This would be a perfect time for...certain groups.... to get a little active. However, embers can travel an impressive distance, and there are still pockets of high winds.

Black Lives Matter must be getting some major penis envy watching these fires.
