For anyone reading this, my late mother was the director of the senior citizens center in Altadena, California, where one of the major fires is burning. I've been gone from L.A. for 40 years, but it's haunting me knowing that Studio City, where I went to night clubs, or Santa Monica Blvd., where I used to drive down to the beach, and Hollywood, where my brother once had an apartment at the Fireside Manor are burning. I'm from Lakeview Terrace, where we often had to evacuate. Incidentally, I lived in Lahaina on Maui where a massive fire destroyed that tourist town. I used to stare up at the stars at night on the beach. Orion is as familiar to me as a good friend.
It's like watching your life be erased. It happened in San Francisco due to a different kind of a neglect. The corruption and incompetency needs to end.
How am I not surprised this is happening? It’s horrific for all the families and animals losing their homes and potentially the lives of friends or family members. Praying for everyone involved in these fires.
There is a huge, long topographical mountain channel that runs through Nevada to Southern California called the Great Basin. I drive the Great Basin Highway yearly on my annual work pilgrimage to Idaho for summer work. It is a formidable sight. When significant weather systems hit the Pacific Northwest it creates winds that are channeled southwest down the Great Basin into Southern California, gathering strength as the winds are pushed through the corridor. This is how Santa Ana winds are created. The current Santa Ana winds have been particularly and tragically powerful. Southern California coastal regions are essentially deserts with large swaths of dry brush. A perfect storm of conditions for enormous wildfires, especially when combined with human habitation. Sparks from a dragged tow chain, a cigarette, machinery, power lines, etc ignites the dry brush. It happens every year, but the strength of the current windstorms has created spreading wildfires that are almost apocalyptical. My family is currently on watch as we live in a rural, coastal area and have many large and small animals that would need evacuation. We have longstanding plans for how to evacuate efficiently and good neighbors who know how to help.
Dont worry LA our precious government will help. Hawaii and the south received their 750 dollar check. That should be enough right? What a joke. Our government is pathetic
At least they did not "kill" those who were trying to escape. A part of Maui called Lahaina, they closed all exits for those who were trying to escape.
$244 million has been paid out by FEMA in individual assistance to North Carolina disaster survivors according to the state. You are a liar, the $750 is an emergency, 'no-questions-asked' assistance for things like food, water, baby formula etc. You are responsible for Americans in North Carolina suffering when they refuse assistance because of YOU spreading lies!!!

What I never understood...why are the Americans using wood/timber for building their houses? It burns like hell.... Only the stone chimney survives....

@user-hc2vy4zs9s that's why I'm saying , in my country we literally have drones flying on a daily basis to detect such things and this is a rich area,but they can't even afford something so simple.
Although I feel sorry for those who have been affected by this, I can't help thinking , that there is a Karmic force working here. Think of the fire bombs that were dropped on the Gazan civilians. While they were burning, there has been absolute cold silence in the West.

if you think this is bad then you should see what forgeign nations would love to do to the rest of our major cities without a barrier of influence
highly recommend looking up Marcus Luttell, he’s the real life survivors from “lone survivor” and talks about the dillemia of having overseas presence, but also why that draws away attention from the american mainland. pretty interesting points to consider…
Don't worry, California has the highest GDP in the country, they can pay for it.
I live here in Southern California. I am born and raised here. Whole communities literally are being incinerated due to these winds. 😮😢🔥🙏
Hollywood, uncut
Oscars? “We found out that none of us are celebrities.” James Woods
For a state preoccupied with clean air rules....I think they overlooked some things.
I see this I wonder why the light company installed the light underground for safety when wind is an issue in California
So who or what started this fire? Have they tried to figure this out?
Even though im a kid i understand this is NOT something to joke abt
Maybe Biden can give these poor victims some of those $700 dollar checks.
It’s hilarious how quick he got to California did he even visit NC? Maui? Nope
yes he did
Who started the fire !!!!!??????😠
Dry weather,Natural Forest fire..🔥 Climate change..!
All insurance money should be sent to Israel
looks like a lottery game , houses standing between burnt ones
Pray for people and wish them safe and sound!
There are fires every year in California and it’s tragic how NOTHING has been done to prevent or mitigate this type of annual occurrence all these years! All those high taxes never went to find a viable solution for this recurring problem!
These are not wildfires.
Ask your govt to ask Israel to help now
Dear firefighters, I know you guys are really exhausted. Don't give up on putting the blazes under control until heavy rainfall arrives to extinguish the flames!!
Did it get Kardashians🎉
Too much sin that city and state
64 million children under 5 years old in Africa are experiencing severe child food poverty. 55 million children under 5 are stunted due to severe malnutrition. 14 million children are suffering from wasting, which is a life-threatening form of malnutrition. These children don't have homes or parents. Can we also 🙏🙏 for them?
I felt the same on 9/11, such drama for so few people. I'm an Australian who has lived through much worse fires, it's hard to buy into the drama.
@@woodsend8133 we are human beings and some things we cannot control . There are tons of charities that try to help Africa so why is there still an issue. There are people in the USA who are homeless, don’t know where their next meal is coming from!!!!!
How is this fire started? I am just curious seriously? This crazy and sad thing to see
State and Federal failure to protect the society and population citizens. Failure to slash and burn dry growth areas. This is a practice even the native Indians did hundreds of years prior to the current civilization. Total Government Failure.
Decades ago, used to have consustent rain fall January through at least April and sometimes into May. But as the years have passed, less and less tain each year, dry, alot more fires. Also used to only get one So Cal fire per year, but not anymore, now multiple fires. Sad. Scary.
„Fires are part of the landscape“ kinda makes you think that should not be the case.
Our politicians LOVE to talk talk talk BUT care nothing nothing nothing
بالامس كان ترمب يتوعد غزة انة إذا لم يفرجوا على الرهائن سيفتح الجحيم على الشرق الأوسط واليوم فتح الله الجحيم على أمريكا لا تتعالى وتتجبر ترامب فالله قادر على لوي ذراعك .. تعاطفي مع الضحايا المدنيين الامريكيين
The border wall was unable to contain these fires. What to do?
Hey, Washingtonian here. This is a horrific unprecedented natural disaster, not just fires but also high winds. Stop the lies, condemning people, and politicizing.
STFU if you don't have anything nice to say & you're not doing anything to help a traumatized community.
