1) A local water reservoir empty during fire season for maintenance, 2) no rain for months, 3) yearly Santa Ana winds, 4) homeless living outside with open flames, 5) firefighter shortage. What could go wrong?
Thanks so much for this. We've been Topanga/Malibu residents for almost 20 years, and these are the places we used to visit on a weekly basis. Had at least a 100 meals at the Reel Inn and Colada's, can't believe they're gone. You've done us all a real service recording the aftermath, it will never be the same again.
Here's a thought for you. And ponder over it REALLY HARD. Your city has promoted the LGBTQ agenda to the world for decades, and Los Angeles is the porn capitol of the world. In the Bible, God burned Sodom and Gomorrah to the ground because of homosexuality and sexual immorality. The people in your city haven't woken up. Until you people get rid of your porn industry and put the LGBTQ agenda behind you, your problems will get worse. Everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah died. Only 10 or so people in your city have died. You people better WAKE UP.

Blimey. Thats just unbelievable. Desperately sad, beautifully fimed. We are so lucky in England that our weather may be a bit grey, but its very benign. I wish you all a speedy return to normality. It wont keep you down for long. We may have the stiff upper lip. But you, cousins, have an incredible pioneering spirit and a wonderful sense of community and civic pride. Lots of love and positivity, Spencer.
I just heard, we may get thousands of fire fighters from Mexico to help (just heard it on the news here in LA). The governor is calling everyone and anyone to help with the effort.
Looked at The Reel Inn on google earth and compared then and now. This is so heartbreaking. A century and its physical memories are lost. On the flip side, it is so easy to appreciate the raw majesty of California laid bare. Like when I lived there 60 years ago... and wild horses ran in packs on the hillsides and Simi Valley had a population of 5,000.
I am an elderly retired school teacher from a hilly section of SE Indiana who came in 2019 to L.A. County to see my newborn tiny granddaughter. We went down and thro’ Topanga Canyon to the beach. It was my 1st. time to see the Pacific ocean. I was amazed at all I saw, how the hills were shaped and covered with dry vegetation, how fire could go. I remember now that I saw that Buddha. Lots of memories for me, tho’ burnt. Yes, there is beauty in the shapes and slopes of the now bare hills. This video means a lot to me. It was in Dec.,2019; chances are I’ll not be back to California. My heart is so sad and sorrowed for this fire devastation. If L.A. rebuilds, maybe the new city can truly be “city of angels” . God bless.❤️🇺🇸✝️🙏
I followed your video along with Google street view and found it so fascinating to see the before and after scenes. I’ve been up and down that highway many many years ago, over 50, back in the 1960’s. I know many buildings are probably that old, but I wouldn’t remember them. Back when beachfront property probably less than $30,000. Really enjoyed your video, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this. I drove this road once on a road trip, a few years ago on my way to Monterey. Weirdly, I watched this while referencing your steps using google street view. The destruction is unbelievable.
Thank you for this video. I saw another short video when the fires were still burning. I ate at Cholada and Mastro in August this year. I grew up part of my teen years in Topanga and went to Topanga Beach and hung out at the feed bin after school. They had these guys who sold fruit and nuts from the back of a container truck. I used to wait tables at Somethings Fishy, which I think became The Reel Inn, when I was a teenager. Sad I never visited Rosenthal’s. It looks like it was an amazing spot. Very sad to see all of this history and memories gone. My sister has been a part of the Topanga Canyon community since we moved there in the 70s. She’s a top realtor there. God only knows what that business will be like after all of this loss. So sad to see. But thank you for sharing. Powerful images. Prayers and blessings to all who have lost so much. 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽
Thank you so much for filming this. The images are so strong and telling what really happened. Lived in LA in the eighties for 5 years and loved every minute of it. It's just unbelievable. Hope everyone will somehow recover and be able to rebuilt.
I lived in LA for 20 years and every time I go back I’d go to The Reel Inn, OMG. Devastated. The whole city is ruined. All our fav spots destroyed. God bless everyone. I love you L.A.
@ I’m still waiting for the Preacher Al Gore’s, Artic being Ice Free in 2007. Or the, No the Virus came from Bats! Not the Chinese Weapons Lab in Wuhan🤔 Or the, Ukraine is the Most Corrupt Country on the Planet! Then sending them $100’s of BILLIONS of out Tax Dollars! I could go on😲
This was my weekend trip zone when I lived in Tahoe. We used to get pumpkins from the Malibu Feed. This just makes me feel sick. Part of the reason I moved out of Tahoe is because of it's lack of exits, entrances up onto the mountain- and the fires were getting scary. Even if you go out on the Lake the smoke is dangerous.
Great work, and thank you for sharing the footage. I noticed the same footprint in the ashes of 9/11 and Maui. It seems all paths lead back to BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street.
I've lost count of how many times this area has burned in the last 50 years. I'm leaning towards 5 or maybe 6. This time it's pretty much ground zero... Great footage, stay safe and keep it coming because you are the new news....
This video was incredible. I cannot imagine what it is like to buildings, trees, cars burned like that. I've seen videos of wildfires in CA and elsewhere before, but the destruction seemed to complete. Nothing left for the most except melted or bent iron and ash. Very little wood left. Fire seemed like a blowtorch in this one because of the very high wind speed. All thos business's you filmed. My heart goes out to the owners and all the residents in the area. Here in the Buffalo, NY area we only get a deadly blizzard on occasion, or a racist supermarket shooter. Fantastic job!!
It's everything I could do to keep from crying when they got to The Reel Inn. I moved from there several years ago, but I made so many visits to that restaurant I just can't even. I had the one tiny hope that it would still magically be sitting there unharmed and then I knew it was what I was looking at and the name came up. I am heartbroken about what's happened there. Even after living there four decades and knowing this is far from the first or last time for wildfires. Pieces of life and memories are just taken away every time.
All the comments I'm seeing about the Reel Inn I'm happy that so many people feel like I do since the '90s that place was my favorite I did read the owners are considering rebuilding It's family owned and the staff wants it It's just such a undertaking and I'm hearing nightmare stories about the coastal commission 🙏
Decades since I have enjoyed this area. Thank you for keeping it as much as you could for so long . Thanks to the firefighters and all who help to preserve the area.
I am from Southern Oregon and last November 27th, visiting with family, we stopped at the Topanga 7 Eleven to fill up our car. I have been following the fires rather closely since we were there not long ago. I was curious to know if the 7 eleven or if any of the other nearby structures had burned down? Thanks to your video I now know, thanks for taking the risk to video the area.
My earliest memories are as a toddler in 1956 in a shack on the start of Rodeo Grounds Ln. I moved away by 1957 but I have been watching from afar. I knew that there were fires and floods, and Calif Parks evicted (sons of) our peers and flattened the houses in 2001; still the 'bamboo' thrived and Malibu Feed marked the corner below my house. Those concrete Buddhas @2:33 are charmed, and the burned reeds will return. I still think the 1950s bohemian community was more interesting (globally) than another ravaged weedy ravine, but the re-naturists get what they wanted.
This awful scenario is my biggest fear in Australia in Summer. It has been 47 C some summers on our north facing verandah & it gets windy but those Santa Anna winds are extreme! Sympathy to each & every one of those affected by this disaster! 🫂🙏🦘🦘🦘💦💦💦💦💦
The Santa Ana winds aren't typically extreme - except for those times that they are. We haven't had any rain since April. So lots of hot sun add then dry winds and then something to spark it on fire and this can happen. We get similar heat to 47c if not hotter inland in the desert but it's going to be so dry that there just not going to be much vegetation to burn.
@@mikekrasovec6390 Thanks for your input. My friends in UK have issues with the cold at present. Rain, snow etc. If their heating can't be continuous, they will need to vacate. Ivy roads, cars not able to get them out Similarities with fires as far as restricted movement & the water shortage. We are grateful for the water bombing aircraft that we lease. I think it's essential for scrub & low undergrowth, dead trees etc to be kept to a minimum. Every little bit helps. God help us all. We have bushfire plans & safe meeting places as a last resort. 🙏that we don't ever need to use either. 🙏🙏🙏🌹
@lindadunstall1790 somehow as far as I know there are only two large airplanes which drop fire retardant on fires. They are actually Canadian on loan. They typically fly together. Apparently sometime yesterday one of them hit a drone (random civilian and thus illegal in and emergency zone) and had a hole punched into it's wing. It's going to be out of commission for a while. A couple of military cargo planes were just sent in to help. Apparently they have a modification that can be done in a few hours to drop the red slurry which is 80% water with some other kind of fire retardant which is actually a fertilizer. So more aircraft which can dump flame controlling goodness from the sky will be on the job.
Wow shocked by what the fire has destroyed Passed through there many times Had drinks there Wow won’t be the same The whole area is destroyed Great video. Thankyou Hard to believe next time passing through it will all be new very sad Happy no life’s were lost But I imagine. A lot of wild life. Has gone now
Sombre and brilliantly documented. Looks Mars like! Wow such immense devastation. Incredibly sad but astounding too! The sheer power of an inferno! 🫤😞✌🏻
Pay attention to the detail. The average person cannot comprehend what they are seeing and cannot put together what heat levels certain conditions need to be at for glass, aluminum, and other materials to bend or melt. It was so hot that the hole was steaming where the power pole once stood. It also has a color bias, but that is more on the science side. Don't worry the clean up crew is going to be quick. Next time you go re-heat your food in that box think about how that works.
That's what I'm thinking. Try putting any metal in the box. The plastic chairs are fine, trees left with leaves. I know a guy that did clean-up on the Paradise fire, ended up with colon cancer..
@@paulsmallriver6066the Pacific Ocean😂😂😂😂 however I don't see any blue roofs.... The CT's will be having a ball with all this! I've already heard BlackRock the Olympic Games new smart cities etc etc
@@paulsmallriver6066 Fire in the root system of shrubs and trees, burned out cars that were nowhere near enough of a fuel load to have caught fire. Everything absolutely destroyed - it was a fire storm and that addresses a lot. The trees that were only partially burned when they should have been taken out. Go look at the Lahaina videos, especially the ones that have burned up cars that were nowhere near a fuel load. No water for fire fighters, power lines left on. Too many similarities with this one.
@@MFFMPN I do not understand how people can not see things besides what everyone normalizes. Keep everything positive and to the script,do not question anything, be blindly obedient,be sure to shut all opposition down.The government has shown so much to trust in..look up in the skies it is not normal for planes to fly all day creating streams,then watch clouds break up or drop down.No rain or high winds show up later
Hey who ever this is Thank You Thank you. This answers alot of questions I and I'm sure many other Topanga Beach people had. I am Tru and Raena's dad if you know either of us?? What a horrible outcome so many memories blasted away in the blink of an eye.
I have walked in a lot of places in LA when I lived there, from Pasadena/Altadena to Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and all the beaches, hiking trails and up into Angeles Crest. Sad about all the birds and wild animals that died in this inferno. I know LA and this breaks my heart. I hope someone does videos on the building up of these beautiful places. Not even the palm trees survived.
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 That only applies if they're still a member of that insurance company. 70% of fire insurance pulled out of the Palisades months before this fire, meaning the ones who were dropped are screwed. CA has some kind of state program but with the way Newsom's administration handles tax dollars, I wouldn't be surprised if they never see a penny of relief. It's ridiculous
One thing I’m confused about, where’s the soot and charring? Having lost a relative in a fire, it was the aftermath that caused the most shock. Everything is too clean😢
The wicked Santa Ana winds perhaps helped burn the ashes🤷. I heard that in a fall out boy song Light em up..."burn everything you love, then burn the ashes"👀. They also sing the song Phoenix. Just saying 🤷.
Reminds me of the Maui fires and who is doing this? It's not random it's intentionally being done. Perhaps adgenda 2030 is really happening. Project blue beam lots of stuff going on behind the scenes.
I'm here. Devastated. 3rd generation. My grandfather was a Santa Monica fireman. No amount of water could have stopped the flames and embers traveling for miles with 90 mile an hour winds pushing them. Our firefighters did the very best they could under unbelievable circumstances. Your a fool if you politicize this tragic event. My heart is broken for all the thousands impacted by this catastrophic event. Donate if you can. Any amount will help someone somehow.
When it in full mode, but not at the beginning.This was not forrests mountains wild terrain,It was in heavy populated areas.no real excuses for no water or staff shortages at first.etc.
You can not fight against the forces of nature. Stop blaming individuals for this epic disaster. I salute each and everyone involved in fighting these fires!!!!!!
The winds were constantly changing direction, which is why, on PCH, you’ll see one destroyed home, yet on both sides, there are homes that look untouched. A very fickle wind.
I was wondering if you were using a filter on your camera or if everything is really that monochromatic brown color? Thank you for making these video records. The cleanup equipment is already rolling in, so this might be the only record.
7:18 The trees 🌴🌴 still standing the house's hotels restaurants Everything burned to the ground I remember i Rollerblades down and turned Right at the gas station 7/eleven That view is breathtaking 😢 Specially those amazing mansions among the beach All gone sio sad To see it burned God Make it easier For all And have mercy we are not perfect.
Definitely a wake up call to every city in America/ to get stuff in order be prepared to get that alert go now …. Documents etc clothes medicine etc be ready moments notice… ugh ! My heart aches for all those people lost everything and prayers to ones lost lives
......at least nobody played the goddammed blame game in North Korea when their had all those floods. Their government and military got all over it in rebuilding all what was lost. No stupid politicians waste-assing tax-dollars bickering back and forth and not getting shit done.
1) A local water reservoir empty during fire season for maintenance, 2) no rain for months, 3) yearly Santa Ana winds, 4) homeless living outside with open flames, 5) firefighter shortage. What could go wrong?

I am from Southern Oregon and last November 27th, visiting with family, we stopped at the Topanga 7 Eleven to fill up our car. I have been following the fires rather closely since we were there not long ago. I was curious to know if the 7 eleven or if any of the other nearby structures had burned down? Thanks to your video I now know, thanks for taking the risk to video the area.
fire that has wings, like a phoenix that flies and burns everything in its path
Like a city with low/no water pressure...
So many wonderful memories for many decades so bittersweet 💔
Thank you for sharing.
My favorite place in L.A Topanga your the only one covered it big thanks❤
Lost for words
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT ONE LOVE from Perth western Australia
My earliest memories are as a toddler in 1956 in a shack on the start of Rodeo Grounds Ln. I moved away by 1957 but I have been watching from afar. I knew that there were fires and floods, and Calif Parks evicted (sons of) our peers and flattened the houses in 2001; still the 'bamboo' thrived and Malibu Feed marked the corner below my house.
Those concrete Buddhas @2:33 are charmed, and the burned reeds will return. I still think the 1950s bohemian community was more interesting (globally) than another ravaged weedy ravine, but the re-naturists get what they wanted.
The year 2025 has started badly. It's going to be a long year. Hold on tight!!!
Thank you for sharing. So very very tragic! Unimaginable loss!
Oh man🙏🙏🙏 so sorry for what happened. The video says it all. God bless everyone 🙏
Post fire archeology….thanks for posting!
This awful scenario is my biggest fear in Australia in Summer. It has been 47 C some summers on our north facing verandah & it gets windy but those Santa Anna winds are extreme! Sympathy to each & every one of those affected by this disaster! 🫂🙏🦘🦘🦘💦💦💦💦💦
The Santa Ana winds aren't typically extreme - except for those times that they are. We haven't had any rain since April. So lots of hot sun add then dry winds and then something to spark it on fire and this can happen. We get similar heat to 47c if not hotter inland in the desert but it's going to be so dry that there just not going to be much vegetation to burn.
@@mikekrasovec6390 Thanks for your input. My friends in UK have issues with the cold at present. Rain, snow etc. If their heating can't be continuous, they will need to vacate. Ivy roads, cars not able to get them out
Similarities with fires as far as restricted movement & the water shortage. We are grateful for the water bombing aircraft that we lease. I think it's essential for scrub & low undergrowth, dead trees etc to be kept to a minimum. Every little bit helps. God help us all. We have bushfire plans & safe meeting places as a last resort. 🙏that we don't ever need to use either. 🙏🙏🙏🌹
@lindadunstall1790 somehow as far as I know there are only two large airplanes which drop fire retardant on fires. They are actually Canadian on loan. They typically fly together. Apparently sometime yesterday one of them hit a drone (random civilian and thus illegal in and emergency zone) and had a hole punched into it's wing. It's going to be out of commission for a while. A couple of military cargo planes were just sent in to help. Apparently they have a modification that can be done in a few hours to drop the red slurry which is 80% water with some other kind of fire retardant which is actually a fertilizer. So more aircraft which can dump flame controlling goodness from the sky will be on the job.
Seeing those homes that have been along Malibu Beach for so long are now gone. It's just overwhelming
Thank goodness the parking lot is fine!
So sad, no longer living in Ca but this was my area so many memories 😓😓💔💔
So you're spreading liberal politics in another state? Sure hope not.
Wow what a hateful comment 🙌🙌 lived in CA 40 years ago never a liberal and NEVER a democrat but I have wonderful memories and shame on you!
Wow shocked by what the fire has destroyed
Passed through there many times
Had drinks there
Wow won’t be the same
The whole area is destroyed
Great video. Thankyou
Hard to believe next time passing through it will all be new very sad
Happy no life’s were lost
But I imagine. A lot of wild life. Has gone now
Shacked, thanks for preserving this history.
Really sad and frustrating seeing so much fire destruction so close to an immensity of water.
Yeah it looks ironic but they couldn't really have used it, it would've been harder to set up than using normal water
Sombre and brilliantly documented. Looks Mars like! Wow such immense devastation. Incredibly sad but astounding too! The sheer power of an inferno! 🫤😞✌🏻
Talk about "scorched Earth"!?! This is it😮
Pay attention to the detail. The average person cannot comprehend what they are seeing and cannot put together what heat levels certain conditions need to be at for glass, aluminum, and other materials to bend or melt. It was so hot that the hole was steaming where the power pole once stood. It also has a color bias, but that is more on the science side. Don't worry the clean up crew is going to be quick. Next time you go re-heat your food in that box think about how that works.
That's what I'm thinking. Try putting any metal in the box. The plastic chairs are fine, trees left with leaves. I know a guy that did clean-up on the Paradise fire, ended up with colon cancer..
I do notice things that are blue like the trailor untouched Mailboxes, trees, bushes untouched, buildings to cinders on other videos
Did anything happen up in the canyon? Around the Topanga post office?
Yes and test the soil before clean up because they will cover this up! These are not wild fires! Some were by arson but weapons were used here!
This might be a stupid question but where are the people who evacuated from the wildfires staying now?
Hotels and other families
❤Thanks your vedeo❤
EMBERS n' WIND... All of the fires we have seen for the last few years, Maui, Paradise, Etc. EMBERS n' WIND
10:10 Don't understand. Everything around burned down, but the toilet house did not.
It’s made with concrete blocks. Likely made by CXT.
Wow, thanks for this footage.
The entire video looks EXACTLY like scenes from „Fallout“! The colours, the scorched items spread out. Surreal that this is reality. 😔
Only difference is it isn't nuclear.
Nuclear incompetence.
And the oscar goes to...
This was gov/WEF interference.. Build back better. Smart cities
This looks identical to Lahaina.
How so?
@@paulsmallriver6066the Pacific Ocean😂😂😂😂 however I don't see any blue roofs.... The CT's will be having a ball with all this! I've already heard BlackRock the Olympic Games new smart cities etc etc
@@paulsmallriver6066 Fire in the root system of shrubs and trees, burned out cars that were nowhere near enough of a fuel load to have caught fire. Everything absolutely destroyed - it was a fire storm and that addresses a lot. The trees that were only partially burned when they should have been taken out. Go look at the Lahaina videos, especially the ones that have burned up cars that were nowhere near a fuel load. No water for fire fighters, power lines left on. Too many similarities with this one.
@@MFFMPN I do not understand how people can not see things besides what everyone normalizes. Keep everything positive and to the script,do not question anything, be blindly obedient,be sure to shut all opposition down.The government has shown so much to trust in..look up in the skies it is not normal for planes to fly all day creating streams,then watch clouds break up or drop down.No rain or high winds show up later
Deus abençoe vocês neste momento tão difícil! 😢
Heartbreaking, truly. Kind of reminds me of the Oregon fires some years ago.
Thank you for this video! I have friends that live in Topanga Canyon and I still don’t know if they’re are safe and if their home is okay! :(
Hey who ever this is Thank You Thank you. This answers alot of questions I and I'm sure many other Topanga Beach people had. I am Tru and Raena's dad if you know either of us?? What a horrible outcome so many memories blasted away in the blink of an eye.
The rainy season could be a nightmare after losing so much vegetation.
This reminds me of the Fires in Hawaii..No Water !!!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you shacked !!!

@2:27 what a bummer. This was a really cool outdoor furniture place that had a lot of character and some really unique pieces that are all ash. 😢
So 2025 came with a bang.
I have walked in a lot of places in LA when I lived there, from Pasadena/Altadena to Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades and all the beaches, hiking trails and up into Angeles Crest. Sad about all the birds and wild animals that died in this inferno. I know LA and this breaks my heart. I hope someone does videos on the building up of these beautiful places. Not even the palm trees survived.
Nice. Thank you. Great camera, too.
Wow, It look like a war zone.
This looks all to familiar !
Completely melted Alloy wheel on a car at 21:18. What fire is hot enough to melt steel but not hot enough to burn some trees around the car?
I’m so heartbroken 💔 😢of this prayers are with you guys and hopefully get to rebuild even though it will take long time . ❤
Don't expect government or insurance companies to help owners.
Insurance will always find a way out of doing the right thing
If they're specifically called, I believe they have to.
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 That only applies if they're still a member of that insurance company. 70% of fire insurance pulled out of the Palisades months before this fire, meaning the ones who were dropped are screwed. CA has some kind of state program but with the way Newsom's administration handles tax dollars, I wouldn't be surprised if they never see a penny of relief. It's ridiculous
@@BoiseGreatDane Delay, Deny, Defend, Depose.....
Evil stuff.
For snobby people.
I tell you what is Evil...when.USA firebombed Tokyo in 1945, 90,000 civillians were burnt ALIVE in one night.....NOW THATS EVIL
Google to learn more
Wow the fire is burning underground
One thing I’m confused about, where’s the soot and charring? Having lost a relative in a fire, it was the aftermath that caused the most shock. Everything is too clean😢
The wicked Santa Ana winds perhaps helped burn the ashes🤷. I heard that in a fall out boy song Light em up..."burn everything you love, then burn the ashes"👀. They also sing the song Phoenix. Just saying 🤷.
Yep, I see on Fox, that this is all not real...like a movie set...for sure inside job...
Reminds me of the Maui fires and who is doing this? It's not random it's intentionally being done. Perhaps adgenda 2030 is really happening. Project blue beam lots of stuff going on behind the scenes.
Your dreams must be interesting. Reality awaits you. Go for it.
I agree! People are too afraid to really see what is really happening! Blackrock and vanguard own everything!
This place will never be the same!
Thanks to a liberal government.
Thank you for sharing this. New doesn't really cover Topanga.
How many insurance companies are about to go bust the repair bill for this will be substantial they will claim bankruptcy before paying out for this
Uncle Sam, and American taxpayers will pick up the bill. Like 9/11. TARP of 2008. RTC and the Savings & Loan Collapse of the early 1990's.
They've already got 100% coverage from the WH
Like Florida with the double hurricane last summer 😢
the federal has a lot of money. we should stop sending them abroad and start building this country.
@@juliesterkel1248I live in Florida and the loss of homes in California is way beyond what we had here in Florida.
I'm here. Devastated. 3rd generation. My grandfather was a Santa Monica fireman. No amount of water could have stopped the flames and embers traveling for miles with 90 mile an hour winds pushing them. Our firefighters did the very best they could under unbelievable circumstances. Your a fool if you politicize this tragic event. My heart is broken for all the thousands impacted by this catastrophic event. Donate if you can. Any amount will help someone somehow.
When it in full mode, but not at the beginning.This was not forrests mountains wild terrain,It was in heavy populated areas.no real excuses for no water or staff shortages at first.etc.
You can not fight against the forces of nature. Stop blaming individuals for this epic disaster. I salute each and everyone involved in fighting these fires!!!!!!
Welcome to modern day America. Where it's always someone else's fault.
How is the gas station still there?
I noticed that too. How odd. It looks like they could open up and be ready to go.
Gas price so high even the fire can't afford to burn it.
thank you for a little bit of good humor in such a tragic time 👍
The winds were constantly changing direction, which is why, on PCH, you’ll see one destroyed home, yet on both sides, there are homes that look untouched. A very fickle wind.
Gas Stations are designed to be fire proof. They are designed to survive an explosion at the gas pumps.
I wonder if there was anything that got burnt on purpose Accidently ( i.e left to get it , cough , cough ) it happens in hurricanes
thank you for that video.
I was wondering if you were using a filter on your camera or if everything is really that monochromatic brown color? Thank you for making these video records. The cleanup equipment is already rolling in, so this might be the only record.
7:18 The trees 🌴🌴 still standing the house's hotels restaurants Everything burned to the ground I remember i Rollerblades down and turned Right at the gas station 7/eleven That view is breathtaking 😢
Specially those amazing mansions among the beach All gone sio sad To see it burned God Make it easier For all And have mercy we are not perfect.
Trees are intact buildings are gone 😮! Respect Mother Nature 🙏🏔🌊 🌬 🌳
Prayers for all the survivors in California from Georgia. 🍑 ❤️ 🙏🏿
Buddha was still meditating, and Jack was smiling there!
No amount of water can stop these fires once these fire storm conditions hit, terribly sad
Did the sand melt? I thought I saw that, a regular fire can’t melt sand its silica. Temp from regular fire can’t do this…hmmmm
In some places it may have.
Definitely a wake up call to every city in America/ to get stuff in order be prepared to get that alert go now …. Documents etc clothes medicine etc be ready moments notice… ugh ! My heart aches for all those people lost everything and prayers to ones lost lives
Thank you, for sharing.So much destruction, out there.Where do they begin?💙💜💙
Surreal
Government needs to buy that burnt out land as eminent domain national Parks wildlife preserve area.
Take that comment back!
with what money? someone is a step ahead of you and its not the govt
THANK YOUR GOVERNOR AND MAYOR
Lol, nope.
Do your research.
......at least nobody played the goddammed blame game in North Korea when their had all those floods. Their government and military got all over it in rebuilding all what was lost. No stupid politicians waste-assing tax-dollars bickering back and forth and not getting shit done.
My late husband loved the Reel Inn restaurant and we'd drive over from Santa Clarita.
Neil Young's former house is up on old Topanga Rd ..where he wrote "After the Gold Rush " Still there ?
Thanks Old Man
Look at my life...
