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

[Dawdler]

California officials are extremely retarded. part of me hopes to people wake up from this but they never do

Muttfornia could keep fires down if they wanted to.
But they can clear entire landscapes for cheap investors and sell it of to home developers.

Just thought I'd give the Kiwis a bit of context as an apparent resident of hell. The only thing "historic" about this fire is the monetary cost and maybe the windspeeds, as far as acreage goes it's tiny compared to the monster fires we've had in our forests. Here's the historic Calfire map:

You can see the current fire outlined in red on the bottom left, everything else in gray and white are past fires

In my opinion the damage has already been done. A huge amount of the Angeles National Forest has been burned in the last decade. There are hiking trails I went on as a teenager that probably don't exist anymore because of fires and subsequent landslides. Some parts of the forest are essentially permanently closed because human activity will further ruin the environment. I'm not sure if there's a point to this post but it's upsetting that the only reason everyone knows about this fire is because rich people are losing their McMansions. If this was just another Angeles Forest fire it'd be a 5 minute spectacle in the broadcast and nothing more

Sad

Agreed. This isn’t even close to the fires we had in 2017 or 2019. Or even the fire that happened in November.
But this is a much more dense population area and it will cause a massive shift in the economy

Dumb question. Why not dump sand around the perimeter of the fires to try to limit spread?

Dump sand with what?
The roads are gridlocked and the wind speed was too high to fly

Look at this picture

Is the fire on the ground or is it in the air?

I really wish they LAPD and local Sherriffs would stop being so Racist. Looting is just a form of peaceful protest by the dispossed and trying to stop it negatively impacts marginalized communities

It's not just stuff catching fire on the ground. Ambient heat, dryness, winds, and flying embers can start fires, too.

Last time California had a big fire, a lot of people relocated to states like Idaho.

I’d rather fry in the fires.

The fires are spreading via windborne embers that can travel miles.

Few issues with that:
1. Sand is heavier then water.
2. You have to acquire the sand in the first place.
3. Someone has to clean it up once all is said and done.

Californians and their leftist liberal governments have been preaching about climate change for decades, yet other than telling others what to do, look what they achieved themselves? Nothing.

Where is their great preparation for climate change? Nowhere to be found. Only telling others what to do, not living by their own creed.
The wildfire was to be expected, the infrastructure supposed to be ready to fight it is non-existent.

Great job Tardifornians.

The Government can't save you, even when it tries.

Especially when it tries.

Fuck me. That’s the road to my university.

Can't self-dox if your dorm/house burns down I guess?

How many cows are affected yet? I was thinking Hasan Piker, Ethan Klein, Dax AKA Juju the Cow, a man who dresses like a cow and gets fucked in the ass, anyone else?

Dump sand on the fire! Dump fire on the sand!

Another dumb Q: if you were faced with a fire approaching your neighbourhood, would pre-emptively hosing the shit out of your house and local area reduce the effects of the fire? Or are they way too hot even for that?

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

No, it also has to do with the inexhaustible copium supply of Californians, their apathy, and their tendency to act elitist, like living in California itself, even in some roach infested valley project, is a form of enlightenment.

Nobody on earth is more cringing and apologetic than California “republicans,” I’m sure they make Syrian Christians look radicalized

I think it's more about the California arrogance claiming they're the bestest at environmentalism, and social organization, while sneering at the hicks that actually go out in the woods, and manage the environment.

That’s why I said that Californians generally acted the same despite all of this. Their apathetic copium and smug elitism about their destructive social and political habits in the face of overwhelming criticism and rational analysis is part of why people don’t feel as bad about the fires as they do about other natural disasters. That’s their way of life, they’ve refused to change, and now they face the consequences.

And we all know that they won’t change despite this happening.

I wonder what excuses the insurance companies will use so they don't have to pay out for this disaster?

They stopped offering homeowners insurance years ago because understanding probability looks like clairvoyance.

This is the size of the dead zone you need for a fire break-



and with a hot enough fire(20+ years of forest debris build up) it can actually evaporate the air moisture, and wick the water out of trees on the other side, then WOOSH that starts burning.

Piker evacuated, but you and I know that the things we most want to see in this life will never come true. The universe is funny like that.

Another dumb Q: if you were faced with a fire approaching your neighbourhood, would pre-emptively hosing the shit out of your house and local area reduce the effects of the fire? Or are they way too hot even for that?

I would just cover my house in diamonds and oreos which apparently are indestructible fire-proof material and then hire a private army of Jewish mercs to blast niggas near my diamond house. I'm shocked people didn't think of this great plan.

Ethan used the potential evacuation need as an excuse to cry about Hasan some more - this was on his instagram story -
