California wildfires: A community in ruins

The Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in Los Angeles is facing its worst wildfire in history, with homes and local businesses completely destroyed due to hurricane-strength winds.
Evacuated residents return to find only their houses in ashes, and the financial toll is projected to be unprecedented, affecting multi-million dollar properties, with one resident saying it makes them think of "the end of the world".
However, there's growing frustration over the insufficient firefighting resources provided to the area. Sky's US correspondent Martha Kelner spoke to some locals affected by the fires.

[@scirinagonzalez287]

Agreed

[@karlabritfeld7104]

True

[@inLmgb]

It's not only rich people and celebrities living there. This report paints an incorrect picture. Many of the 24.000 people living in Pacific Palisades have been building their lives there for generations before the celebrities bought themselves in. Many middle class families who were living there for centuries. Sure, the value of most properties went up enormously in the last decades because of rich people buying themselves in, but that does not mean that everyone was super rich. Up the canyons are also rather regular homes destroyed or threatened. Also in other parts of LA and SoCal. It's terrible and my heart goes out to everyone who loses their home, their memories and all their personal belongings, be it from fire, water or hurricanes. But this fire catastrophe this week is at a scale that it would get this much exposure anywhere.

[@josecarranza7555]

My thoughts exactly

[@ro63rto]

85-90 % of forest/brush fires are started by humans whether by accident or on purpose.

[@wizarddragon]

and Human caused Climate Change makes these events even worse.

[@swoopest]

Hmm. Yeah maybe not.... Lightning is a leading cause of wildfires in many areas, including: Australia In the 2019-2020 Black Summer Bushfires, lightning caused more than 90% of the area burned. Boreal forests Lightning is the primary cause of wildfires in intact extratropical forests, accounting for 77% of burned areas. In North America, lightning strikes account for more than 55% of the total burned area in the boreal forest. Canada Lightning strikes ignite half of all wildfires in Canada, and account for 67% of land burned. West Lightning-sparked fires account for nearly 70% of wildfire-burned land in the West.

Some of it is NIMBY. Put the storage some place else. But in this case, it would go dry in an hour. There are HUNDREDS (from all over, helping) of fire trucks pumping with 5" hoses. Your garden hose can do maybe 9 Gallons a minute (100 PSI).

[@kellykwongali]

It's largely the Santa Ana winds that make water ineffective. It's like spraying a water bottle at a building fire.

[@DaveEPie]

This whole area of LA is completely liberal government mindset- has been for decades. Pacific Palisades is full of Hollywood types. Executives, writers, actors, studio workers- it’s 90% hard core liberals- This is exactly what they don’t plan for- Most have 2nd and 3rd homes in even nicer areas. This was the perfect storm- a once in 100 years event. Only 100 years ago there were a few small ranch houses.

Southern California here: We live with earthquakes and annual wildfires. Much is made of wealthy Pacific Palisades, and there are many more city neighborhoods on fire right now. I love how the interviewed man talked about the homes being worth $30 to $40 million dollars, and not about the fact that the residents CHOSE to buy in a area that has only one or two ways out. What the governor needs to be asked is how many new reservoirs were built, or repaired/upgraded, and (more importantly) stocked/filled with water.

[@catemccool4100]

With only one or two ways out, it was also one or two ways in and they thought that protected them from the riff raff. Ironic.

The richest man in the world sets the political agenda with a tweet so I'd say the opposite.

How the hell can anywhere be prepared for this kind of devastation? Stop asking stupid questions, just to rile up the masses.

[@carolyncrawford5922]

I totally agree!

[@tgchism]

100%!

[@bwofficial1776]

Houses can be built out of fireproof materials or built underground. Houses can have water tanks and sprinklers. Cars can be parked in fireproof garages or driven away from the fire. Communities can have fire trucks and water bombers ready to go so fires can be put out quickly.

[@mtnmonamona842]

@@bwofficial1776 Well now they can. But hundred year old houses were already there.And when built we had no concept of climate change. And where is that water coming from? Southern CA is a DESERT! No more water grab from here in the north. But really, let’s get thru this with sympathy for those that were burnt out. I went thru the same when wildfire roared thru the counties up here, over a million acres.

[@truthseeker4813]

Worse than any war torn Country...Very sad😊

[@havefaithtarot]

Wow. Insane. My little sister lives in Playa Vista. She’s safe for now but just.. wow. This is nuts. She’s only lived there for a year. It’s interesting because my dads house burned down 13 years ago. The house right beside mine burned down in the middle of the night 20 feet from my bed last November. Now an entire city is burning like 15 minutes from my sister? This has GOT to be the last fire my family experiences right? All 3 (so far) we’ve been protected, but it’s still traumatizing.

[@VenerableDuSommet]

Sorry to hear that. Praying for your and your family's safety. Stay strong.

Give them the same help the hurricane surviors got.

[@jackgrimes-wl8fb]

Trees and wooden fence pretty much untouched, yet houses completely destroyed - how does that work?

[@pearpo]

Great question! 🌌 Ask Obama and the Insurance Industry.

[@hairy-dairyman]

Embers get caught in gutters and roofing. That's pretty normal fire behaviour. It just not very intuitive

[@laradiantrr9357]

Weather warfare. Drones, chemical drops, 5 g, satellites....they have the evil alchemy all ready and planned YEARS in advance.

[@doug6723]

Weeding, winds changing direction, firefighters

[@ofhismercy109]

Wooden fences will absorb moisture from the ground or potentially the rain, the coast is very wet place to live, whereas the wooden structures are pure tinder, they are covered by moisture barriers, sitting there completely dry for decades. Trees also are filled with water in every cell as living things. I mean, I think if a fire is moving fast enough, it might pass with minimal damage something like a tree. If it burns long enough, of course the trees and fences will burn too. I watched a forest fire coming DOWN a mountain towards our neighborhood until the firefighters got it put out, and it was fast even coming down, and scary. That was in Washington state.

[@Bob_Cats]

New Orleans and now the fires. This is just a preview of whats to come
