The sad irony that this was uploaded the day that the Camp Fire began

[@waynes.2983]

I was on a mountain north of Santa Rosa. I was leaning at a 45 degree angle into the wind just to stand. I could not walk into the wind because it was too powerful. I could see the glow coming from Santa Rosa.

[@shaunconner295]

Wayne S. I lived in mark west.... I thought I was going to die I woke up at 2:00 am I was tired and scared

[@wildwildItaly]

Poor California.. My hometown. 💔💔💔💔💔Poor people and all the beautiful wildlife

[@donalejo1889]

That's what happens when idiots are more concerned about immigrants than creating a fireline around their property

[@stuffcomedy9749]

state not town

[@yesenia832011]

I woke up early for school for nothing and that this was frighting for me cause every night during the fire I always saw a re, orange glow on the mountains

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

There is footage of rivers of embers blowing across streets like blowtorches, setting everything on fire.

[@wspwsp1104]

i hate seeing this it makes me cry

Goosebumps

[@thesunsetreptiles]

Guess what it’s probably going to happen many more times in the future

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Of course. Fire is a fact of life in a Mediterranean climate. Cool wet winters, dry hot summers.

[@huntertomlin3909]

Unlike the idiots below commenting about conspiracys, I would like to point out that the footage shows them rebuilding houses primarily made of wood with vinyl sides. You think somebody would realise that wood/plastic burns.

[@errhka]

We cannot build with brick here in California - wood is the best for the climate and for earthquake safety

[@Cb11Cb]

@@errhka I would pick earthquake over fire. Right? Or, is it against code to use brick?

[@sueg2658]

Insurance companies in many California fire danger areas are REFUSING to cover the property or if they do, they are charging outrageous prices. So lots of people are in a severe economic crunch to rebuild if they choose to do so. It’s not as easy or logical than one might think. Also many people living in rural areas are on the edge of financially making ends meet as it was BEFORE the devastating fires.

[@bigben2639]

@@Cb11Cb Against California code to build a house with any brick as structural components. Additional, brick facades have requirements to meet earthquake standards. My house was just a couple miles from the epicenter of the 89 earthquake, only major damage was to the brick chimney. I would rather risk my house burning in a forest fire, than collapsing on me during an earthquake.

[@Cb11Cb]

@@bigben2639 Interesting. Thanks for the insight. Things you don't know unless living in California.

When you can see the red glow... It's a little late to receive a manditory evacuation order.

[@datboidego]

I just realized at the end of the video that this was uploaded the day Camp fire started. Creepy, Armageddon is coming

[@chief1redwolf909]

The whole world is set up to show consequences for doing wrong. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. We must be willing to turn from sin to receive Jesus forgiveness , and to know and live out his teachings. He who does the will of God abides for eternity 1 John 2:17 NKJV

[@juliabranca1233]

As we know...can believe it ..Cali gone to the dogs...is so hard to understand how is possible as a state they can't handle this...😫💩🤧

[@johnwhitesr1002]

One Nation under Creator get the Muslim out of HIS NATION.

[@csfischer007]

I pray that you find more kindness in your soul and the love for all our Creator's people.

[@shadowspire]

I don't know if you're serious or just a troll. In the case you are being serious, these fires are not because God, is punishing anyone for things such as allowing Muslims in. Also in case you didnt know or you choose to ignore the fact that THIS NATION WAS BUILT UPON THE BELIEF, THAT WE COULD PRACTICE ANY RELIGION AS WELL AS NOT PRACTICE A RELIGION AT ALL. Our Great Country Does NOT have a national religion because that is exactly the thing the original settlers were trying to escape, which is also why some of the founding fathers were Athiest or Deist, it helps to know some history. As for me well I am not following any church or religious group but I Do read the bible and i try my best to do as it says but I do leave my mind open to new point of view. I try to get along with everyone whether they be Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Muslim etc. I do this because I remember what 1 John 4:19-20. says 19- We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. I don't why you have such hate/dislike for others but I hope one day you change your ways of thinking.
