It's a natural disaster, and beyond the scope of human intervention, just like earthquakes and hurricanes. Blaming people just reveals you as an idiot.

This may be the first $1T loss event in US history. This area is so expensive, so the rebuilding costs will be simply enormous. Take $2M-$3M as average cost to rebuilt each home, multiply that by the number of homes gone already...it is catastrophic. The worst consequence will be the the enormous insurance increases for ALL areas that have even slight fire risks and insurance companies refusing to ensure properties in those areas outright.

[@KeyshowJi]

3m may be the average house value but the structure value doesn’t remotely approach that. If you have a 1.5m house in, say, river oaks houston, the structure could easily be 600-900k. For a 1.5m hpuse in CA, the structure might be worth $70k, the replacement value maybe 250k-400k, and the higher cost of rebulding to newer better standards at most 500k.

Los Angeles fire compared to 1906 quake fire in San Francisco; The fires destroyed approximately 25,000 - 28,000 buildings across 490 city blocks. The fires cost an estimated $350 million at the time, which is equivalent to $8.9 billion in 2023. The earthquake and fires killed over 3,000 people and left around 225,000 people homeless. The city was nearly rebuilt by 1915, took 9 years to recover.

[@DaveS71]

People have absolutely no concept of history. Every recent event is THE WORST EVER, with zero knowledge of the past. Look up the Peshtigo fire which burned well over one million acres, or the Kanto fire which is said to have killed an estimated 140k people. Also the 2018 Camp fire which basically leveled Paradise and a couple surrounding towns. Again...this is a horrible event but it pales in comparison to many others.

". . .and they said climate change. But done nothing to prevent it". By saying "done nothing to prevent it" you can only mean ALL OF US have to work to prevent it cuz that's how I see it. California has been very progressive with an increased use of renewable energy and EV's and even cutting water usage. I can't imagine what else you could be referring to.

When you don't clear the brush, you end up with massive brushfires

[@dansiwek3593]

Theres no brush there

[@stevenbrown5210]

​@@dansiwek3593yes there is. Altadena and Palisades is all trees and brush on hillsides and canyons

[@JK-lp6uw]

Thank you brilliant one.

[@michaelshirhall1831]

@dansiwek3593 brush caught and spread , homes are made of wood and burn easily. Still considered a BRUSHFIRE.

[@jimc4839]

Brush helps prevent erosion. We have overbuilt everywhere.

The most heart wrenching part is losing all your family heirlooms and sentimental things that are irreplaceable for any amount of money.

This is caused by groundwater pumping and will worsen when replenishing water used to extinguish the flames with more groundwater.

[@woodruffashbourne8372]

Nonsense.

[@elliesmith8139]

How could they know how many

[@RichardLandry-n2f]

It's so sad to see. Hopefully you can all recover soon.😢😢

[@nouriamarnouri3649]

1:45 give it oscar 😂

[@yougeo]

The rest of us can't keep continuing to pay for people to build non fire proof homes in fire areas and non hurricane proof homes in hurricane zones. It's ridiculous. Neither of these events are unexpected so you have to build in concrete.

[@DeborahMarchantPoet]

This is a good point.

[@jamesdiamond5725]

yes you pay for jews to live on the beach

[@jamesdiamond5725]

and thats on the east and the west coast

[@JK-lp6uw]

So many contractors in the comments

[@Unsolicitedbias]

Morning onshore breezes are coming in off the ocean. So, with some help, the humidity will increase, probably too little too late.

[@yougeo]

Does anyone know a map that shows all current fires going on?

[@CaedenV]

NASA FIRMS map... though weirdly the sunset fire isn't on the map? But that is the closest you can get to raw mapping data, and it is generally only 30min to 3 hours behind real time depending on the area you are looking at and what satellites are focused on it.

[@DeborahMarchantPoet]

The LA Times has a “California Wildfire Map” available to view online.

[@WardenOnDrums]

Is it me or is anybody else getting annoyed as she points to a clear “hot spot” and continues to talk about how essential it is to put them out but then who wants to bet that same ‘hot spot’ is still burning? 👋🏼

[@vanessac1965]

Eight billion for Israel a few days ago, that's 250 billion total, more than any country in the world despite Israel having a population of nine million. To do this and worse to some of the poorest people in the world. The shame

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

250 billion?? Sure if you start back when Israel was formed in 1948 maybe 250 billion was sent!? 😅😂

[@Biggdirt1]

Why isn't the rainmaking tech being used to stop the fires?

[@DaveS71]

Can't squeeze rain from dry air.

[@CarsandBikes]

The homes that are left stabding reminds me of that home made by a German couple in santa barbara years ago that didnt burn down because they didnt use a single piece of combustible material like wood.....

This is why I moved from California. Too many disasters of all types. Fires, wind, earthquakes, drought, floods, avalanches,

[@michaelellringer5600]

And you moved to FL? Or Tornado Alley?

[@marlenalinne]

@richardjones7382. You forgot to mention crooked elected officials.
