I own land on the eastern sierras and I was told I can’t clean up the land of dead wood or brush. I’d get fined. There’s probably 50 years of dry grass and dead trees on the ground. Will be very bad if it catches fire.
You are so right. My in laws lost EVERYTHING in the Camp Fire of Paradise CA. Thank God my husband was there or they would have perished in that fire. They didn't ALLOW my father in law to CUT DOWN TREES in his front yard unless you got permission. He was on year 4 of the process to get these trees cut down. THEY WENT UP LIKE ROMAN CANDLES.... Along with everyone else in that town. HOW RIDICULOUS. You should be able to cut down a dead and sick tree without getting arrested or fined and without having to go through FORMS and approvals. HORRID. Yes it was the wind .. BUT ... it was FUEL that exploded and the entire town was GONE in 7 hours. That's CA for you.

Megyn, I am a volunteer fire lookout in a national forest in Southern California. I really don’t want to tell you which forest it is, due to the fact that I’m just a volunteer and I don’t want to speak in an official way. Just from my own experience I can tell you that the Forest Service, at least in Southern California, has lost large numbers of firefighters who are going to city fire departments or Cal fire because they pay better than the national forest. They do spend quite a bit of time trying to clear out as much old growth fuel as they can, but it’s been mismanaged for so long that it’s a task that would take a huge amount of money and effort to mitigate. Every year when we have our get together meet before we start the fire season on May 1 we have the fire chief from the forest service at our meeting to update us. For the past three years or so there’s a new chief every year. This past year we were told that there would be days when many of the fire stations in the forest would not be staffed or would be understaffed and not have that many operable vehicles. Also, there have been fires started purposely because the weather forecasting is so accurate on when these events will start that people will just wait out in a certain area and as soon as those winds start blowing, they ignite their fire. As a friend of mine just said last night once these Santa Ana fires kick in the only thing you can do is try to protect the homes that are in its path because it’s gonna burn all the way to the ocean. Trying to stop these is like trying to stop a tsunami. I have spent seven seasons as a fire lookout and I knew this was coming. It was just a matter of exactly when that coming would be.
I used to fight fire on the Cleveland NF and SBNF and you are 100% correct. Most of the guys consider it a good experience for their resume and stepping stone to a 'real' firefighting job
I am a republican and i live in los angeles and i do not blame trump denying federal aid to the state We have suffered under the incompetency of the democrats for years. I think the denial of aid may wake the state up.
Sounds exactly like Lahaina, Maui!! Fire, High winds, no water. Car jams on the streets evacuated, people running to the ocean!! How many deaths will this be??
Definitely not the same, California doesn't allow clear cutting forest or large control burns which clears dead growth. The reason I say it's not the same is because this has happened in California every single year for decades. Try proper forest management.
@@ARMY-ep6fz Proper forest management is only a component of this issue. Essentials services are ineffectual because of Dem policies, so yeah, it's a lot like Hawaii.

The way Hollywood did it summarizing the group that voted for the awardee , God=Zero it means God did not approved the awardee , or the show , they were guilty of being ungodly that God did not approve of it ?
If you remove the fuel (underbrush) you will not have such devastating fires. This is so bad because of the green climate change tree hugger, preventing proper land management.
Have you seen what these hills on LA look like? Do you have a grasp of how much land there is to cover and how dangerous it is? It is part of the landscape and it’s difficult to handle. The city has fined us heavily in the past for not removing brush on our steep hillside for this reason. But it is incredibly dangerous to be on that hill, and it grows back at a rapid pace. It is just a part of living here in the hills of Los Angeles.
Moved out of the state four years ago. We just couldn't take it anymore. Our former neighbors were nice enough people but supported dimocrats slavishly. It was like a drug addiction. Never could understand that mind set.

I was a logging contractor in central California High Sierras for over 20 years. We managed the forests and kept them clean. Thanks to the forest circus they halted our logging and dried up active timber sales all for the over protection of the California spotted owl. We lost four of our five sawmills and we were forced to change professions as the forests went unmanaged. Then came the Creek Fire... the largest fire in California history which burned down over 800 homes and destroyed the natural beauty of the land for generations...
You are correct! I used to work for USFS back in the day when we still did Rx Burns and maintained proper dozer line along ridgelines. All stopped and now look what happens! 🤷🏼♂️ maybe this will be a wake up call for the libtards but I doubt it. I have No Faith in our current 'leadership' 😑
That was the result of government policy bending to the will of environmentalists, not Forest Service policy. The FS employees do what they are told to do with the funds they are allotted.

And she stood there and unashamedly blamed the residents for not evacuating quickly enough when they were in fact leaving BEFORE asked to. The gridlock in Palisades Drive was present BEFORE there was any order to evacuate. Watching that presser yesterday was a grade A gaslighting session.
White UK vs the Democratic State of California all facts by the way. White UK vs California GDP The comparison between the UK’s GDP and the state of California’s GDP has been a topic of interest in recent years. As of 2024, California’s GDP is approximately $4.1 trillion, while the UK’s GDP is around $2.6 trillion. This means that California’s economy is significantly larger than the UK’s.

Same tragedy happens here in Southern Oregon. Forest mismanagement here is all but nonexistent, even worse the government's destruction of our dams, so much needed water reserves flow freely into the ocean.
And don't forget how much they charge taxpayers for water related expenses which is basically them cleaning out the storm drains all the time why they just don't create more Lakes I have no clue
@@intheredcold9216 I think the negatives from environmentalists is that dams stop the natural flow of water down a river, it messes with water quality + increases erosion downstream of the dam, and prevents animal migration (like fish) up and down the river. Because endangered species and water/wetlands are protected by law in the US, that takes precedence over having dams
Years ago my coworker would tell stories about His brother who was in the logging business. They would show up at the job site already in progress, tress down, only to be met by an official , telling them ,the site was closed. Environmental Activists apparently found an endangered plant or something. That was it. No more work. They weren’t even allowed to harvest the trees already cut down.
it is criminal what the government of California has done with the dams. They provide water in the lean times and provide water for farming. Just where those socialist think food comes from? Moved out of Calichna 12 years ago. The problem is those that have moved have done so because of economic reasons but kept their brain dead socialist ideas that have impacted those states the went to. Stay in Calichina a leave us that have had great states for many years or wake TFU.
I work in the fire protection trade in California. The fire department and their business and construction services charge insane prices for their permitting. Which is why the Mayor probably felt like they could cut funding. Look into the bureaucrats in their Fire Department code enforcement. The fire marshals and inspectors. These bureaucrats don't enforce the regulations they created and now fire hydrants don't have water.
Fire departments don't operate or maintain the fire hydrants. The water districts do. There is no lack of water the infrastructure is not designed for these many fires at the same time.

@Mra5000- The only thing that could help is if all water piping was 4x as big fir this one event. Then it would be detrimental afterwards due to water quality issues.
As long as Republicans are running the Federal show, I agree. But if it is Democrats, more papering over will be done. The biggest issue here is CA not allowing cities/counties to cut back brush and manage the risk... but no one is allowed do that in CA. The EPA is the 800lb gorilla in the room, and it wants what it wants, regardless of property/life losses. I've lived here for 50+ years.. the entire government is a sad joke. And CA voters are entirely to blame here.

Brush control and land clearing is a necessity in order to live in these areas adjacent to wilderness and wild land areas. I blame the environmentalists for their idiotic mind set about brush control. The Oakland Hills fire was a great example of these idiotic rulings.
Homes n belongings can b replaced. The memories n heirlooms n things that can never b replaced, that's the tragedy. Lost lives is a tragedy. Firefighters NOT having the water to do their jobs is a huge tragedy when there is absolutely NO excuse or reason for it. The MAJORITY of this disaster was preventable.

Are we ? Why is a large majority still voting for this every election. I will never understand as a California native myself. Just don’t get the people of California and how year after year this happens and they keep voting for same people who created this madness
Having lived there for many years, I believe the actual issue is poor stewardship. American Indians used controlled burns to manage brush overgrowth to reduce the risk of wildfires. Unfortunately, this practice has largely been abandoned, to our detriment.
1000% this. I live in CA.. and this is the God's Honest Truth. I blame the EPA + the majority of CA voters for all this. A perfect storm that creates perfect conditions for apocalyptic fires.
Mayor Bass initially proposed to defund LAFD by $23M LAFD. She got nearly $18M. No water available in many parts ofAltadena. Firefighters moving to neighborhoods where water is available, fighting fires until water is gone. Sadly, none of the fires are contained.
How is DEI Working Out for you California, this is what happens when you don’t have Merit Based Appointments………..Go Woke, Go Broke……….Time to let the Professionals Run the Show.
I "I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. However, I believe California should be held accountable for its actions. The administration must be dismissed and face legal consequences, with their assets redistributed to those who lost their homes. The governor of California could have addressed the water issues from Southern California but chose not to. This indifference is unacceptable. People should not blindly trust the government, regardless of political affiliation, as governments often prioritize their own interests. Citizens must be vigilant and informed about their leaders.
I remember seeing James Woods's post on X right after the fires started and he hadn't evacuated yet, saying the fire insurance companies had cancelled their policies just 4 months ago. He has now lost his home, but he and his wife are safe.
@caliopeknows844 Yes! I heard him say something about that on CNN! He said if anyone listening knows what hospital he's in, to please reach out. What a good neighbor & human being. I didn't realize he is 77!
I saw the writing on the wall shortly before moving from that beautiful state. My kids were sixth generation and it completes my life whenever they thank me for moving to another beautiful state.
California was never an appropriate place for heavy urban settlement. Nature was never favorable to heavy urbanization in California. Especially Southern California. Long periods without rain, which has always been a part of California's climate, facilitates wildfires every year, heavy overuse of scarce water resources for agriculture, and frequent earthquakes all make southern Calfiornia a dangerous place to live.
The issue isn't the dry climate. The issue is the wet years FOLLOWED by the dry climate. I know, lived here for 50+ years. Those wet years build up brush that dries out after the wet years subside, and that drives the enormous fires. The EPA prevents cutting of brush, setting the stage for apocalyptic fires. It is preventable, but between the EPA and CA state government there is no willpower to do the common sense thing.. hence the fires. Voters are to blame, but most voters don't know east from west, much less how their own government's policies lead to these situations.

@AbeFroman-zx5hs Very legitimate question... Without revealing too much personal info... Work and family is still here. Time will tell if I can endure any more. Thank you...
Newsom and the mayor of LA both need to resign immediately. Their negligence led to these results.
Negligence and incompetence led to these disaster !
I’ve been hammering them on x/ twitter calling for them to resign
It really doesn't matter how many firefighters there are , if you don't have water
And winds moving up toward the 100 mph mark. Even with the water this was going to be a tough fight. Especially considering they can't put aircraft into the air to dump water on the problem spots because of that wind.
Maybe they were thinking that they could all line up and piss on the fire to put it out?
Y’all literally live by the biggest amount of water. Why can’t they figure out how to use ocean water. Northern California doesn’t like to give all of our water down to you guys in the south that vote all of these idiotic policies in place and then we get stuck with the consequences.
These republican supporters are trying to turn this into something it’s not!
If only the state was near the largest ocean in the world.....oh wait.
California leadership is to blame.
And the voters.
@@davehoffman9072 Yup.. CA voters are ultimately to blame. I live in CA, it is the voters that create all the inane stuff here. The politicians just know how to read the polls.
I voted for Rick Caruso. And to recall Newscum.
Exactly, because they launder money through the lawsuits and just up customer rates. Break this bandit operation up, already!
It's the votes, not the voters. Who counts? No voters id allowed.
Cali is a money laundry

@@jerzyszymanski819 We absolutely don't learn from our mistakes. It's you're kind of thinking that allows mistakes to happen over and over again.
I actually think this is the wake up call they needed. People are going to be pissed and things will change.
WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT GAVIN NEWSCUMS 9.2 million $$ HOME HE JUST BOUGHT. LETS FUCKIN TALK ABOUT THAT
No doubt! 🤬
Likely wildfire protections are in place for NewScum's house.
Id like to know if the dry wildfire fuel threatening his house ??
No doubt, NewScum had no problem paying for home insurance.
And what about all the fn homeless, shutting and dying on the California streets !!?!!
So that’s where the missing 24 billion went.
All those billions of taxpayers money went missing. Guess what…I’m sure Newsom cashed in all that to purchase his $9M home.
Like, where'd the $$$ come from.
Trust us people!!! We tried to get Newsom out and we can't get rid of him - it sucks!!!
The limo liberals/coastal elites outnumbered us though. Some of those coastal elites who live in the Palisades and along the coast up toward Malibu might be getting a wake up call here. I doubt it though.
Maybe.. yet highly doubtful.@@trojanmoondoggie4582

Blame the government leadership, yes, but blame the ones who voted those leaders in more.
I live in the mountains of AZ, we have high winds, dry conditions, etc and we don't get fires like this. Why? Because we manage the forests properly to prevent it.
There are no forest anywhere around here.
First time I saw a "clean" forest i was at the Grand Canyon. I feel like the majority of people can't understand this until you see it.
you have less climate cooks that light them, on purpose, when the winds come...happens every year in Ca
Only the "valuable" lands are targeted
lol. What forests? How much of your state has forest? Man, people from AZ are so ignorant.

The whole damn state is mismanaged!
HOMEWORK IT IS GOING EFFECT EVERONES TAXES CAL TELLS THE FEDS THEY NEED ALL THIS TAX MONEY AND THEY WILL GET IT THE LAST TIME TRUMP WAS ELECTED DEMS CAME UP WITH COVID THIS TIME IT WILL BE FIRE
Megyn, I am a volunteer fire lookout in a national forest in Southern California. I really don’t want to tell you which forest it is, due to the fact that I’m just a volunteer and I don’t want to speak in an official way. Just from my own experience I can tell you that the Forest Service, at least in Southern California, has lost large numbers of firefighters who are going to city fire departments or Cal fire because they pay better than the national forest.
They do spend quite a bit of time trying to clear out as much old growth fuel as they can, but it’s been mismanaged for so long that it’s a task that would take a huge amount of money and effort to mitigate. Every year when we have our get together meet before we start the fire season on May 1 we have the fire chief from the forest service at our meeting to update us. For the past three years or so there’s a new chief every year. This past year we were told that there would be days when many of the fire stations in the forest would not be staffed or would be understaffed and not have that many operable vehicles. Also, there have been fires started purposely because the weather forecasting is so accurate on when these events will start that people will just wait out in a certain area and as soon as those winds start blowing, they ignite their fire. As a friend of mine just said last night once these Santa Ana fires kick in the only thing you can do is try to protect the homes that are in its path because it’s gonna burn all the way to the ocean. Trying to stop these is like trying to stop a tsunami. I have spent seven seasons as a fire lookout and I knew this was coming. It was just a matter of exactly when that coming would be.
I used to fight fire on the Cleveland NF and SBNF and you are 100% correct. Most of the guys consider it a good experience for their resume and stepping stone to a 'real' firefighting job
Thank you explaining and working so hard!
Why spend taxpayer money on firefighters when you can spend it on a trip to Ghana?

Also a Democrat stronghold. How about that. Put a fool in charge....
Definitely not the same, California doesn't allow clear cutting forest or large control burns which clears dead growth. The reason I say it's not the same is because this has happened in California every single year for decades. Try proper forest management.
@@ARMY-ep6fz Proper forest management is only a component of this issue. Essentials services are ineffectual because of Dem policies, so yeah, it's a lot like Hawaii.

@7777b7 Punishment for all the immoral garbage Hollywood has produced.
If you remove the fuel (underbrush) you will not have such devastating fires. This is so bad because of the green climate change tree hugger, preventing proper land management.
Have you seen what these hills on LA look like? Do you have a grasp of how much land there is to cover and how dangerous it is? It is part of the landscape and it’s difficult to handle. The city has fined us heavily in the past for not removing brush on our steep hillside for this reason. But it is incredibly dangerous to be on that hill, and it grows back at a rapid pace. It is just a part of living here in the hills of Los Angeles.
No, it’s bad because of dems. It’s that simple.
The fuel isn’t the problem. Dems are the problem. Duh.
It's the LA Mayor & CA Governor's fault. Backwards priorities leaves the citizens at RISK. They are puppets.

Fire doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, what colour you are or sexual identity. As a family of firefighters in Canada when firefighters are responding to an emergency the victims do not care about any of these facts only that someone qualified is there to help them.

Trump merely was saying what the minority of thinking people know in CA. It is just that we are outnumbered by voters that listen to pretty speeches about how much they are victimized by Republicans.. but the policies promoted end up with high crime and huge fires.

I was a logging contractor in central California High Sierras for over 20 years. We managed the forests and kept them clean. Thanks to the forest circus they halted our logging and dried up active timber sales all for the over protection of the California spotted owl. We lost four of our five sawmills and we were forced to change professions as the forests went unmanaged.
Then came the Creek Fire... the largest fire in California history which burned down over 800 homes and destroyed the natural beauty of the land for generations...
You are correct! I used to work for USFS back in the day when we still did Rx Burns and maintained proper dozer line along ridgelines. All stopped and now look what happens! 🤷🏼♂️ maybe this will be a wake up call for the libtards but I doubt it. I have No Faith in our current 'leadership' 😑
I was at the creek fire at base camp working with the medical support team. I ran into a bunch of my old FFer buddies there. Small world!
That was the result of government policy bending to the will of environmentalists, not Forest Service policy. The FS employees do what they are told to do with the funds they are allotted.

The comparison between the UK’s GDP and the state of California’s GDP has been a topic of interest in recent years.

Truth in this
Newsome has made a plethora of mistakes in his decision making. Not taking care of the forest to prevent fires is a huge one.
Same tragedy happens here in Southern Oregon. Forest mismanagement here is all but nonexistent, even worse the government's destruction of our dams, so much needed water reserves flow freely into the ocean.
And don't forget how much they charge taxpayers for water related expenses which is basically them cleaning out the storm drains all the time why they just don't create more Lakes I have no clue
@@intheredcold9216 I think the negatives from environmentalists is that dams stop the natural flow of water down a river, it messes with water quality + increases erosion downstream of the dam, and prevents animal migration (like fish) up and down the river. Because endangered species and water/wetlands are protected by law in the US, that takes precedence over having dams
Years ago my coworker would tell stories about His brother who was in the logging business. They would show up at the job site already in progress,
tress down, only to be met by an official , telling them ,the site was closed.
Environmental Activists apparently found an endangered plant or something. That was it. No more work.
They weren’t even allowed to harvest the trees already cut down.
Newsom and Bass just got themselves kicked out of their seats. Good riddance. More to go.....
it is criminal what the government of California has done with the dams. They provide water in the lean times and provide water for farming. Just where those socialist think food comes from? Moved out of Calichna 12 years ago. The problem is those that have moved have done so because of economic reasons but kept their brain dead socialist ideas that have impacted those states the went to. Stay in Calichina a leave us that have had great states for many years or wake TFU.
Sadly no.
Like Hawaii, nope. They cannot connect the dots.
I work in the fire protection trade in California. The fire department and their business and construction services charge insane prices for their permitting. Which is why the Mayor probably felt like they could cut funding. Look into the bureaucrats in their Fire Department code enforcement. The fire marshals and inspectors. These bureaucrats don't enforce the regulations they created and now fire hydrants don't have water.
Fire departments don't operate or maintain the fire hydrants. The water districts do. There is no lack of water the infrastructure is not designed for these many fires at the same time.

@Mra5000- The only thing that could help is if all water piping was 4x as big fir this one event. Then it would be detrimental afterwards due to water quality issues.
Absolutely mismanagement for years and years. Politicians are to blame.
Any investigation into this fire should be done on the federal level. Investigations by California will just paper over everything.
As long as Republicans are running the Federal show, I agree. But if it is Democrats, more papering over will be done.
The biggest issue here is CA not allowing cities/counties to cut back brush and manage the risk... but no one is allowed do that in CA. The EPA is the 800lb gorilla in the room, and it wants what it wants, regardless of property/life losses.
I've lived here for 50+ years.. the entire government is a sad joke. And CA voters are entirely to blame here.

Brush control and land clearing is a necessity in order to live in these areas adjacent to wilderness and wild land areas. I blame the environmentalists for their idiotic mind set about brush control. The Oakland Hills fire was a great example of these idiotic rulings.
Homes n belongings can b replaced. The memories n heirlooms n things that can never b replaced, that's the tragedy. Lost lives is a tragedy. Firefighters NOT having the water to do their jobs is a huge tragedy when there is absolutely NO excuse or reason for it. The MAJORITY of this disaster was preventable.

Take your state back non-woke Californians.
California voted !
Having lived there for many years, I believe the actual issue is poor stewardship. American Indians used controlled burns to manage brush overgrowth to reduce the risk of wildfires. Unfortunately, this practice has largely been abandoned, to our detriment.
1000% this. I live in CA.. and this is the God's Honest Truth.
I blame the EPA + the majority of CA voters for all this. A perfect storm that creates perfect conditions for apocalyptic fires.
There was NO water, why?? 🤔 Someone should be held accountable??
Mayor Bass initially proposed to defund LAFD by $23M LAFD. She got nearly $18M. No water available in many parts ofAltadena. Firefighters moving to neighborhoods where water is available, fighting fires until water is gone. Sadly, none of the fires are contained.
Newsom and Bass must be congratulating each other!

The governor of California could have addressed the water issues from Southern California but chose not to. This indifference is unacceptable. People should not blindly trust the government, regardless of political affiliation, as governments often prioritize their own interests. Citizens must be vigilant and informed about their leaders.
It is totally disgusting that in LA fires, there is no water in the fire hydrants,,because governments stopped the water flow.
I remember seeing James Woods's post on X right after the fires started and he hadn't evacuated yet, saying the fire insurance companies had cancelled their policies just 4 months ago. He has now lost his home, but he and his wife are safe.
He saved his neighbors life too. A 95 year old man who had been accidentally left behind.
@caliopeknows844 Yes! I heard him say something about that on CNN! He said if anyone listening knows what hospital he's in, to please reach out. What a good neighbor & human being. I didn't realize he is 77!
He had just spent 3 years renovating.
This is so awful and disgusting.
This situation is the result of putting people in power based on who they are rather than what they can do.
Reservoir has been sitting empty for 2 years.
Pour management all around. You get what you vote for.
Stop blaming voters. It's all prearranged. They "hire" who they want in because they will comply to corrupt bureaucracy.
I saw the writing on the wall shortly before moving from that beautiful state. My kids were sixth generation and it completes my life whenever they thank me for moving to another beautiful state.
California was never an appropriate place for heavy urban settlement. Nature was never favorable to heavy urbanization in California. Especially Southern California. Long periods without rain, which has always been a part of California's climate, facilitates wildfires every year, heavy overuse of scarce water resources for agriculture, and frequent earthquakes all make southern Calfiornia a dangerous place to live.
The issue isn't the dry climate. The issue is the wet years FOLLOWED by the dry climate. I know, lived here for 50+ years.
Those wet years build up brush that dries out after the wet years subside, and that drives the enormous fires. The EPA prevents cutting of brush, setting the stage for apocalyptic fires. It is preventable, but between the EPA and CA state government there is no willpower to do the common sense thing.. hence the fires. Voters are to blame, but most voters don't know east from west, much less how their own government's policies lead to these situations.
So let me get this straight. Jesus Christ is not responsible for all natural disaster that ever happened on earth it is the Democratic party. Even Noah's Ark was built because of the Democratic party. I'm I correct or close to being correct?
How do you have a Mortgage without Homeowners Insurance 😮
THEY CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR IT, ALL of IT and ALL of THEM ‼️🤷🏻♀️
Not all of us voted for them . There are many people that didn’t want this .
@@MaribelSpunt
I’m sorry you’re stuck with those delusionals ❤
@MaribelSpunt I know I'm one of them!! But unfortunately we're VERY few!! There's too many lefties for us to overcome 😢
@@MaribelSpunt you first have to realize you didnt vote, not in what you think it is. Democrats stack the deck with their mail-in voting with no ID and handing them drivers licenses as though they are citizens.
Like all of the west coast, you offer one election with paper ballots in voting locations and a federally supplied ID it would all turn red overnight.
Demon- crats.
Happens every year there!!! I lived there 50+ years and know it well. They never learn.
Totally predictable yet they refuse to do controlled burns.
wonder why they don't do them?
Megyn props to you. Unfiltered podcast vs Mainstream media clearly the winner
The courage of Governor Newsome standing so close to the fires with his proprietary hair gel ready to explode in flames is really something to admire
😂😂😂😂lol
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
That is such a good one😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
Until an oil spill leaks out of his hair!
Sad 😞
The mayor says nothing!
She is silent!
🤐🤐🤐
Absolutely sickening
she is silent because she knows what has happened and it will come out
Same thing happened in California in Belair in 1962. The same Highwinds. And the lack of water dude a democrat woke policies.
As an Australian in a country that is always faced with this each year. I can only sigh. They could have prevented this and it is only winter. Imagine if that was summer and higher temperatures. There is always the hindsight as to what should have been done and tears over the loss.
true..its not always the temp, but lack of humidity and poor management of the super dry underbrush and the santa ana winds and who knows ...there maybe other factors as well....CA leftist govt is very corrupted/incompetent/DEI and billions in debt and bleed their citizens financially
Lost my home in San Diego cedar fire 🔥 Moved to Poway Ca another fire 🔥 got evacuated 2007 moved back east April 2008 best decision ever 😢
Question: Did you by any chance vote Demonrat all those years in Calichina?
@@ohwell2790 calichina def. could happen...CA govt with its tyrannical policies (esp. insurance) making it unaffordable to live.. burn it down slowly, rebuild it slowly into smart city sectors with China behind a lot of it esp. at the Cali ports and areas of distribution.....death by a thousand cuts, but we still hold strong 2A....it will via Cyber AI telecom and grid and satellite destruction if it happens
