I don't think people outside of LA grasp how little any amount of prevention would have helped in this particular case. Wildfires have been a constant issue in California for as long as anyone can remember, but what people don't understand is how much of a once-in-a-generation "freak" event this is. This was a legit fire hurricane. Water ran out in certain neighborhoods because resources have never been stretched so thin like this. Millions of dollars worth of firefighting aircraft couldn't do anything in some of the most crucial hours of the fires, simply because the wind was too dangerous for them to fly in. Multiple fires cropped up at once due to the intensity and severity of the conditions, stretching resources even more. And for some of you telling Max to move, that's his own decision to make. People have made their whole lives in LA, and damn it, we love this town, warts and all. The amount of generosity and togetherness coming from all corners of the city makes me appreciate it more, and Angelenos want to fight for it, not run away from it. Armchair politics does not help in a time of such devastation, and a different mayor/governor (with all the problems I have with the current ones) would have made little to no difference in this particular instance. Glad y'all are safe Max.

But if yu drop all that salt water on top and nothing grows back; that area on Earth is now uninhabitable. Yu saved a few homes by dropping in salt water to put the fire out? Great. Those homes are no longer inhabitable. They'll need to either be abandoned and/or demolished, because salt flats can't sustain life. If homes are going to be lost regardless, then better they're lost in a way that allows rebuilding.

​@@BillyBoy-hr9rlAgreed. People really should use Social Media. Its just that you need to discern and really try to stay calm. Look for different news, and stop being so quick to judge a problem. Like, there's a reason why people use Social Media and NOT the MSM (Mainstream Media). Use the combination, and disaffect yourself from their lies, but listen to half of the truth. We are NOW in the truth era. Fear mongering is not effective as it was 10 years ago. Now, as far as the causes? It's man made. Homeless literally lit fires in some places, and some were arrested.

Correct but the resources they didn’t have access to and fire 🔥 prevention measures that were not taken care of prior is 💯 Californian government lack of leadership

[@Knicks518]

Wishing you the best max. Hope everything turns out well

[@daydreamerb01]

I'm really glad you, Jessica and Ripley are safe. I didn't realize the fire was almost on your doorstep. Unfortunately the planet isn't in great shape right now... The disinformation element makes your situation even scarier...

One thing I learned about living in Cali my whole life is- The fires are bad but media always makes it out so seem cataclysmic. I moved to AZ some months ago and everyone out here is talking about it.

[@Staniel08]

Thank God you and your family are safe! My church is sending in people and resources to help from Florida, and everyone down there is in all of our prayers. Thank you so much for the update!

[@MarcTayag]

You and the family stay safe, Max. Been through the Valley Fire in 2015 and Tubbs fire in 2017. Keep some bags packed, and good watching that Watch Duty app.

We just had recorded snow and ice down here in Arkansas. They should get a few choppers, fill them up with the snow and ice here, and then fly them out there. It's probably not that easy, but it's a thought

[@sean8102]

Hello fellow Arkansan! Hot Springs here. Yeah was a good amount of snow. I measured in our front yard last night and it was 8.5 inches. Wondering if Lake Hamilton School will be open tomorrow. Just got back from town, and the roads were perfectly fine, just some water. But IDK if it's going to get cold enough tonight to freeze again.

[@danieljordan477]

I'm in Northridge. Shit was wild man. Seeing fires in all directions.

[@DieJG]

The fact that there are people putting fake news out and not thinking about helping others pisses me off. Hoping the best for you Max.

[@CaptainBajam]

Praying for you all, I’m glad you are ok. Stay safe guys

[@GramdalfFGC]

It’s what plants crave

[@actionreplay2165]

I hope you and your family are well through the aftermath. Thank you for everything max

Lesson learned: When county-wide disasters are happening, DON'T READ SOCIAL MEDIA. Trust the apps and sources that can actually be trusted.

[@SliceLeedice]

I'm more surprised people are ignorant to how bad soil salinization affects not just an area but an entire eco system. Unless people want the soil in that area to be poisonous to most plant life or animals and insects in the ground that keep the soil healthy for years i guess they could use sea water for fires. Also, when it rains the salt from ocean water has to flow somewhere else if it's used far away from the ocean, so it would most likely flow towards nearby rivers or lake where people get drinking water and increase salt content which could also kill freshwater fishes which could starve people and animals that rely on those fresh water fish for food and this chain events goes on and on and on . . .
