I was in L.A. in 2015 when I first really listened to how little rain they get each year and how long they can go without any rain. A local resident told me this with pride. As someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest I was surprised by his cavalier attitude, as we have regular rain, but also seasonal fires, which can be very destructive and I was almost in shock when I heard six months or more without rain for LA. I don’t think anyone should be surprised this is happening. What is surprising is the billions of dollars invested in an area when the warning signs have been there for decades. People are free to make their own decisions but government leaders hold some responsibility to direct investment away from areas where there is this kind of potential. I’m sure global warming will be blamed, but the planet is always changing (parts of Africa used to have forests where there is now only desserts, the middle of North America used to be ocean, which is why they’ve found fossils from sea creatures on the Rocky Mountains), so there needs to a proactive approach through research and warnings about what areas should be developed and what areas should not. LA is done (as in future dessert), any talk of rebuilding in the area is stupid.

And even though the BBC isn't literally owned by rich people, it feels obligated to report on what everyone else is reporting on, or they will be attacked by all the billionaire owned news outlets for it. And also most of the top editorial staff are former Tory party employees or candidates, and most of the journalists running the BBC are privately educated anyway.

[@Orthocurious]

@@Seek-God-First In the canonical Gospels, Jesus does not specifically mention that "great and notable cities will go up in flames, and others will sink in the ocean" prior to His second coming. However, He does describe various signs and events that will precede His return. In the Olivet Discourse, recorded in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, Jesus speaks of: Wars and conflicts: "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars... For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." Natural disasters: "There will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places." Persecution of believers: "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake." False prophets and deception: "Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many." Additionally, Jesus predicts the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple, stating, "These things which you see-the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down." BIBLE GATEWAY While these passages indicate significant turmoil and upheaval, they do not specifically mention cities burning or sinking into the ocean. Some interpretations and apocryphal writings outside the canonical texts may include such imagery, but they are not part of the biblical accounts attributed directly to Jesus.

Gotta ask, where did all of the water go that used to keep the plants healthy, and not dried out, waiting to burn... no doubt it did not help that the Swiss owned company NESTLE was allowed to take hundreds of billions of gallons of fresh water, every year, from California's underground water table, (NESTLE arranged to pay California 3 dollars, for every 1 million gallons of fresh water it took out of the ground, all across California, for decades!) The land is like a sponge, when there is no water underneath, then the top dries up fast... thanks NESTLE, and as the supplier of over 75% of the planets bottled drinking water, thanks for the hundreds of billions of toxic plastic water bottles sitting at the bottom of the ocean, for the next 500 years.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Hundreds of billions is an exaggeration, but your point is taken. Far more water is used by agriculture across the state as well as in other states across the country. You ask where the water went, and quite simply it is a consequence of climate change. The growing development and population increase adds to declining water availability however California has lost population in recent years. This part of southern California has been in a severe drought for 6 months. This created tinder dry vegetation so when the Santa Ana winds blew up power lines started to come down which triggered the spark which started the fires. So the Santa Ana winds have come regularly to southern California and never caused a devastating wildfire. It is the prolonged drought that is the problem. That and the fact the above ground power lines are vulnerable to causing a fire when they are blown down.

Actually these fires have a manmade aspect to them as well. In the first place climate change has caused drought in California to be more severe and more frequent. In the past when the Santa Ana winds came blowing they didn't result in dangerous wildfires that devastate large areas like this one has because drought was not as severe. The second man made cause to this fire is the power lines above ground. The strong winds blew down power lines which triggered the fires.

[@SVmathfarmer]

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust - it is a lesson to the 1%ers hoarding their wealth up in those hills ❤❤❤

[@keziflowers]

They will be rebuild better and stronger.

[@independentjohn]

@@keziflowers exactly.. american 🇺🇸 is wealthy country like japan, germany and other countries in the world. They can rebuild better than before. 🙏🏻💪🏻♥️

[@Stu_Pidasso]

At least the fire department is diverse and inclusive. So inclusive that they decided to include fire.

[@rayakusu-fosterB]

"TUPAC! TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE AT PRESENT! ❤🇬🇧❤

[@chronablitz]

My god the devastation is frightening.

[@GersikGersik]

Oh beautiful👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sampaudel]

So sorry to see but men's pride burnt down! God, Save them and Provide for them!

[@Blue_Tambourine]

Heart breaking.

[@snafu2375]

Dosent this happen every year in California?

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Fires do happen every year in California, but this is the worst fire in this part of California because of the prolonged drought that made the vegetation tinder dry. The Santa Ana winds come every year, but this is an especially bad drought at this time. The Santa Ana winds likely took down several power lines and because it was so dry all it takes is the sparks to set it off!!

[@Rusty84CV]

Is it true that LAs Mayor isn't even in the country?

[@EdDunkle]

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is currently in Ghana as part of a U.S. presidential delegation for the inauguration of Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama.

[@epicxelxl8324]

@Rusty84CV she's in Africa policing the world rather her own job and people

[@ausasmrr]

she just got back

[@Keshavtharu98]

So sad to watch but we all people know that this natural disasters are unstoppable until they stop. I pray this end soon🇳🇵

[@taiwojohnson7871]

Fire is not natural disaster stop calling it natural disaster.

[@alauddinali8328]

Fire has a right to defence itself

[@CombatTV506]

people are burning to death in the USA & people are freezing to death in the UK 😮😮😮

[@grakkerful]

A good portion of the US is freezing too. We just haven't had any rain out here for awhile and when the Santa Ana's kick up, there is almost always fires.

[@tillyg8858]

This is not about Gaza, and God didn't have anything to do with this. You're trying to make it political.

[@somisworldviews]

@tillyg8858 the Bible will tell us otherwise 🙏

[@Rusty84CV]

​@@somisworldviews 🤫

[@avasd59]

​@@somisworldviewsStop spreading lies. The Bible says that God is NOT responsible for people suffering. This is not God's wrath, we are simply living in the end times as it has been prophesied. God will soon put an end to human suffering once and for all

[@stellatan9485]

Compared to Gaza? Well......

[@Casual_Cthulhu]

What’s so infuriating is how preventable this was.

[@Pius.M.D.]

Starting over at 91?😢

[@i3olverkr622]

I'd be safe and warm If I was in L.A.

2:46 that was a parked car. Not abandoned. 4:42 about 235 years or so.

[@MoonBull13]

The hydrants ran out of water 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@mlazenka1]

Those hydrants are designed to combat a house fire, not a neighborhood fire. There is simply not enough water to go around. Sure you could scale your water supply to meet the needs of this once in a lifetime event, but who's gonna foot the bill. It's like people who make fun of southern cities when they're paralyzed by snow and ice. It makes fiscal sense to have salt on hand and equipment to clear streets in the north. Not so much in the south.

[@merlynstmartin-io5wm]

God be with them 🙏

[@timely360]

Oh no! Take care Los Angeles. I will pray.❤

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Firefighters are arriving from all over the surrounding counties and other parts of the state to assist overwhelmed fire departments. In California we learn to live with wildfires and Santa Ana winds--ever so often they keep people on their toes.

[@Andy-wn6wm]

There is no climate crisis...

[@aceyage]

No not at all. Nothing to see here just a small little fire having a bad day.

[@calebd9456]

So sad so pain full my good help you California 🤲😢 am from Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@chaosXP3RT]

Hopes & prayers!

[@mikesnyman8346]

The excitement and happiness seen across the globe is unprecedented. EVERYONE is referring to this fire as the Greatest Pork BBQ of all time.

[@Rusty84CV]

Who films themselves as they evacuate from a building when there's a fire right outside

[@nancysmith2389]

Californians.

[@kingcolz]

Film.maker ?

[@colleenpeck6347]

Influencers?

[@ChiChisFav1011]

At least they’re not filming their outfit or something stupid. At least it’s giving a first hand account of this horribleness.But I understand your point.

[@raynaives9804]

What is it with January and massive, devastating wildfires recently?

[@u235x00]

climate change

[@sbss924]

Why were funds reallocated from the fire department to the police department when crime rates decreased?

[@Keepitkind7]

Now is the time for empathy and help. Your comment is a sad reflection of who you are.
