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

That was my first thought, tbh.

Cali-kiwis, is there any reason why the Eaton fire would be underreported other than "no one cares cuz lol poor"?

My hope in all of this is that the financial toll on the elites will undercut the stranglehold the inept government grifters have on the state. Like someone said upthread, if the rich don't have the money to throw at the politicians, then they loose their grip on power. They would probably lose their interest in being a politician, too. Politics and media have become a grifter paradise.
The people who live in this area are wealthy, just not rich celebrity wealthy like near Malibu.
 
If you live in LA, you were trying to be a celebrity. That’s the only reason people have moved there for like eighty years. It’s been a smog infused, riot prone shithole for longer than most of us have been alive. After the waves of shit trying to be movie stars slowed, people started moving there to be YouTubers or tiktokers.
Most of us were born here retard, my parents were born here, my grandparents moved here before this retarded site and all its retards were even ideas. My whole life is here, my family, my friends, my home, my job, and you expect us to just move and go somewhere heckin BASED instead? Somewhere we have no roots, know nobody, have no home, no job, no history? So you can call us Cali transplant parasites when we let slip that we left for a better life?

Not interested
 
That's one question I have. There are supposedly somewhere between 250,000- 500,000 evacuated. Where are they? We saw a few brief shots of the traffic jam last night, then nothing. Normally news coverage would be wall to wall victims in shelters. But next to nothing today.
Where have the escaped from l.a ( no pun intended ) ended up? They couldn't have gone that far yet. Anyone know.
A fair amount of ‘em are probably staying with friends or are in hotels outside of the evac zones.

CalFire is handling Malibu, LA County Fire is handling Eaton. So possibly optics. With all the talk of cutting funding DEI hiring etc they would obviously be interested in looking as good as possible and hiding any fuck ups.

It's a major earthquake zone. Google up what happens to masonry construction in an earthquake. Wood Structures are much more survivable. Provided they are built to code. Masonry is strong in compression, but is really weak to shear forces. You do not want brick houses in someplace that gets earthquakes.
At least in CA there's a measure of preparedness for earthquakes. Worst earthquake I ever went through was in Illinois as a kid, when the New Madrid Fault burped. In the 1811-1812 time frame there was an estimated 8+ earthquake in the New Madrid Fault area. Far as I know little or nothing has been done there to prep for another big one. When it happens gonna be a catastrophe, suggest multiple Mississippi River bridges will collapse, etc.
 
Actually I think people are citing scripture because Californian cities like LA are the epicenter of satanic temples, sodomites, and blasphemous groups like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who get celebrated by normies at baseball games.
Burn.
There is something so incredibly Old Testament Wrath of God with most Cali seasonal disasters. This one just turns the dial up to 11.
 
Palisades is a mixture of Hollywood elite liberals and Hughes engineers who made a shit ton of money and bought a house there when it was nothing but sand. So there is a weird left-right dichotomy there. I think it is overall more Democratic though.

Something funny about all this is that one of the more conservative parts of Los Angeles, the Palos Verdes Peninsula (where Trump’s golf course is), is very high risk for wildfires, but it has not caught fire at all.
I made a map based on the 2024 election results by precinct and the general outline of the fires as of now as reported by CalLiar. (Sorry Hughes Fire, I ran out of map...)

Right, you’re all conquistador descendants. Forget about the part where what was there wouldn’t meet today’s definition of a city 100 years ago, you totally have deep roots

All of you fuckers fedposting while quoting sacred scripture because a faggy political machine runs a state into the ground are no better than the same Californians who smugly made fun of hurricane and tornado victims for voting differently.
It's almost like Californians are getting just deserts for their behavior.

Am I expected to cry crocodile tears for a group of people who view the rest of us as little more than glorified fertilizer? Where was their sympathy when Texans were shivering in the cold and when North Carolinians were drowning?

Ah yes, they were grave dancing and cooming their pants with schadenfreude at the notion of Republican voters suffering and dying.

Call it what it is, reciprocity.

As someone who escaped from California I can confirm the satanic beliefs every Californian has. My weekend day used to usually consist of getting up, praising Satan at the local rapeball game. Then going down to the processed food mart to pick up some aborted lab grown baby fetuses and vegan milk before going down south to help a couple illegals cross the border.

I have since given up these evil ways and I am now a red blooded Americun Republican now I have a wholesome day of beating my wife and kids, harassing minorities, dumping used motor oil in the river, driving drunk, and terrorizing other drivers in my lifted Ford f350(Which has never driven a single inch on an unpaved road).

God bless amurica

It's always one side that's asked to "turn the cheek". Really makes you think. 🤔
