'It's very devastating': Apocalyptic scene as South Fork Fire ravages town of Ruidoso | ABS-CBN News

The woman from Lincoln County Fire Department is incredibly empathetic and well-spoken. I am so happy to have you fighting for our homes. Thank you for understanding and have sympathy.

Fire spreads via underbrush and tress. Yet those pine trees, highly flammable, are not burnt..

[@johnlaine6259]

Ever heard of a crown fire

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

You don't have to look too closely to see that many of those pine trees are blackened and striped of needles. They look like big black tooth picks! They were already dry or dead from prolonged drought. Many burned quickly in this fire.

[@robertmarmaduke186]

In Guam after a truly devastating typhoon, they rebuilt the roads and power infrastructure then banned any timber structures or travel trailers. Everything is now stucco on cinder block with concrete roofs, (which also balances day heat with night cool so you can do without A/C.) Windows have heavy metal shutters and carport also covered in concrete. Rode out a typhoon, rain roaring sideways and trees falling, power out, ...yawn might as well go to bed. In the morning everyone had chainsaws and pickup trucks clearing the streets, by evening power was back on. So simple you want to scream at Florida, because WE ALL PAY HIGHER INSURANCE COSTS FOR THE SECOND LITTLE PIGS..

Looks oddly similar to LA Haina, Hawaii!!! Please do not believe this to be "natural disaster", my gut tells me it is anything but "natural". Please stay safe, and do not sell your land! 😢

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

Your "gut" is seriously misinformed. This is the aggressive kind of forest fire that has become more common in the last decade because of our warming climate. The warming climate has resulted in increased drought, warmer temperatures and higher winds. All it takes is a spark to make those conditions create a dangerous fire storm. That's what the fire fighters themselves are saying and have been saying for years!!

[@mattdelany6799]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096I read a report by Mike Hunt that said the climate was actually cooling, so it sounds like you are misinformed.

[@m0mm4b34r78]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 yeah, that's exactly the narrative they want you to belive. I've lived here in NM my entire life, have family in that neck of the woods and know, without anyone else having to toot their horn, that this fire is the "first" of its kind here. I also know, not from some team of puppets who've been PAID to lie, that a VERY similar burn recently happened in Maui, Hawaii. Both places have melted, pooling aluminum and some residents didn'tget the Emergency Notification, and everything (especially anything that wasn't blue) was burned beyond recognition. So, tell me, how is this ALL "natural "? Tell me, how many fires YOU know personally, have played out JUST LIKE THIS? Don't believe everything you see on TV, especially if it involves politics! Think about it...

[@m0mm4b34r78]

@@mattdelany6799 I've heard similar things about our changing climate. The elite, want us to be afraid, attacking each other, and falling for their BS. It's how Covid went as far as it has. But also, it is known that they are trying to heat things up with their metallic fumes in the sky (those lovely Chem trails) that are intended to reflect the sun light while hoarding all the heat (I'm not 100% how this one works but know it's in the mix somehow). It's also known "they" have been controlling the weather, feeding hurricanes, and creating blizzards. But now, they are using ultra violet light, blue light to be specific. Because it cannot be seen by the naked eye, but will burn ANYTHING outside it's wave length. Check it out! It's pretty crazy how light, sound and vibration can manipulate and control everything in our universe.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

@@mattdelany6799 So are you saying that ONE REPORT convinces you over the broad array of climate scientists around the world who support climate science and say the climate is warming. Last year is the warmest year on record and by quite a bit! Record high temperatures have been set every month for the past 14 months. The data and evidence are easily found online. There are numerous lines of evidence from around the world of our warming climate! If you want to keep your head in the sand that's up to you!!

If you can get the word out to the people at the hotels/RVS and tell them that there is tons of Hygiene supplies, food, and shelter at the evacuation centers. People aren't taking advantage of the help and is just sitting there. Pass it on..

That is Pat Person's car. Pat broke his leg about a week and a half before the fire. Couldn't drive. You can see his car burned up in the fire, parked next to the hotel. The ride he was waiting on was turned away. He tried to get out of there on crutches and didn't make it. They found him on the side of the road.

Thank you for sharing this. It's unforgivable that no police or first responder would go get him- he was not lost- they KNEW exactly where he was. He was sacrificed to justify the total evacuation of the town.

From the plains of N. Texas to the hills of California, this is the new normal. There has to be more planning on the Federal level especially if we can expect the same disasters every other year.

The United States Forest Service is one of the "theys". The USFS started the 2 wildfires that merged in the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon wildfires in New Mexico 2 years ago. They were control burns that got out of control. The USFS (United States Forest Service) has a department they literally call "Fire". The USFS is doing control burns again. They are trying to do them up here at Hermit's Peak again.

[@rudolfkasanpawiro644]

Politicians are ignoring this. Many are part of the problem. The El ites, how do you stop them.

[@silverfern777]

Explaining how why or who would require actual thought. They only understand the speed of accusation and half baked conspiracy will travel to the weak minded faster than truth. The only step then is to ignore all evidence that contains truth, because it isn’t as exciting as the fervent push to idiocracy.
