Los Angeles Is Burning

I believe this is the Palisades area of Los Angeles.

All prayers to California morons and any other innocents.

Unfortunately, people get the government the majority vote for. Newsom will scream about global warming and then we'll find out he cut the fire department's funding for scrub-clearing to pay for illegals' health care.

HAPPENING NOW: The Palisades Fire in southern California continues to worsen, with maximum wind speeds not expected until later tonight.

The second video below is the current view from downtown Los Angeles.
The fire has swelled to nearly 800 acres, with reports of multiple structures being burnt down.
Helicopters and airplanes are making water drops on the fire. Embers are being picked up by the wind and distributed to other locations which is starting more fires.
Vegetation surrounding the Los Angeles Fire Department's Palisades station location is even burning, according to local reports.
Multiple communities have been told to evacuate.

A couple of videos of the fire here.

Here's James Woods as he evacuates. He gives credit for the cops and firemen doing a good job evacuating people, but I have to think that if Newsom spent any time on doing the actual job of governing the state, these fires would have been prevented.

This woman filmed a homeless person setting fires in Colton in San Bernadino, claiming the fires were a "good thing."

Pray for the people in Los Angeles right now. Homes are going up in flames.

People are scrambling to get out and are even ditching their cars.pic.twitter.com/kZOKvSzSCR

🚨 NOW: The California fires are getting SO BAD that people are abandoning their cars and fleeing on foot

Bulldozers have been called in to remove the abandoned cars

What's funny is that Michigan used to have pretty bad forest fires, but because we understand *actual* science, aggressively pursued proper forest management which includes regular cutting and driving roads into the forests, providing access and firebreaks.

Michigan historically had huge wildfires, but weirdly, that stopped once the eco-weenies were pushed aside and actual foresters took over.

Big fire out here in 2003, they had videos of fire tornados, the fires being so intense to create their own local weather. That was the closest a wildfire ever got to my house; hundreds of houses were burned to the ground in that one, over 200 in one neighborhood alone.

Yet another reason why electric vehicles are not practical. You have to bug out in front of a fire, but the car's charge is low. Even if you find a charging station, do you want to sit there and get burned alive?

East of Denver, almost all property is privately owned... not owned and managed by the State.

Almost all major fires are in the West, and start... and burn... Fed or State owned and managed property.

Why? because is someone owns the property, they don't want to see it burn down, so they care for it... in the West? Gov just does not care.

In this area the ridges and valleys are perpendicular to the wind, makes for good firestops. They let it spread E-W for miles in the hills.

Blizzards. That's Michigan's big thing. Ice storms as well. Easy to get through either with some extra food and a backup source of heat.

The ice storm of 2012 had us out of power for a week, and it was a couple of days before I could get the generator wired into the furnace (we have natural gas).

Until then, we camped in the great room, a roaring blaze on the hearth and the kids absolutely loved it. At night we pushed the furniture back and made a giant mass of cushions and pillows to keep warm. It was pretty cool.

186 Note, you very seldom see any really big fires East of Denver.... why?

East of Denver, almost all property is privately owned... not owned and managed by the State.

Almost all major fires are in the West, and start... and burn... Fed or State owned and managed property.

Why? because is someone owns the property, they don't want to see it burn down, so they care for it... in the West? Gov just does not care.

Seems indicative of a low-trust society, which California clearly is. In a higher-trust society (and we've seen this), people will take charge, directing traffic, pushing vehicles out of the way, etc.

This cuts to the core of the immigration debate - strangers with zero loyalty to you will be a liability in a crisis.

High social cohesion, on the other hand, fosters easy cooperation because of the greater level of trust.

Scroll up to see my comment on proper forest management.

The government is actually capable of forest management if it so desires. We used to have bad forest fires in the Upper Peninsula, but the state and feds moved aggressively to removed dead wood, drive access roads and use these as firebreaks. In the 80s, seemed we had a wildfire every summer. Now I'm struggling to recall one.

California is a failed state. That's all there is to it.

Ohio Flood.
January 1937 remains as the wettest month ever recorded in Cincinnati.[10]

One hundred thousand people in Cincinnati were left homeless, as the flood affected the city from January 18 to February 5. The river reached its peak on January 26, at 79.9 feet (24.4 m), more than 25 feet (7.6 m) higher than flood stage.[11] Ohio River levels on January 26–27 were the highest known from Gallipolis downstream past Cincinnati. Crests were 20 to 28 feet (8.5 m) above flood stage and 4 to 9 feet (2.7 m) above the previous record of 1884. 12 square miles (31 km2) of the city's area was flooded,[12] the water supply was cut, and streetcar service was curtailed. Among the flooded structures was Crosley Field, home field of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team.

A group of players found a boat, rowed over the left field wall and found home plate.

🚨#BREAKING: The National Weather Service has issued a life-threatening, destructive, widespread windstorm warning has been issued
📌#LosAngeles l #California
The National Weather Service in Los Angeles has issued a life-threatening, destructive, widespread windstorm warning for parts of Southern Los Angeles, California, starting at 4 a.m. Tuesday morning and continuing until Wednesday evening. Winds are expected to gust up to 50 mph, with some areas experiencing hurricane-force winds reaching up to 100 mph. Steady winds of 80 mph are also projected, especially in the valleys, which will significantly increase the risk of falling trees and power outages. This dangerous weather system is expected to create extreme fire danger, with the combination of dry conditions and high winds exacerbating the risk of rapidly spreading wildfires. Residents are urged to take immediate action to secure property, avoid outdoor activities this is an extreme risk, and failure to prepare could lead to catastrophic consequences

In Xenia OH in 73 a pack of tornados hit the town and leveled it. A bus driver who lived there took the class into the town when the National Guard were still there showing homes flattened here and totally fine a little bit away, on a field trip to Ft Ancient, an old Mound Builder Indian site.

I was wondering how we got left off. No earthquakes, we're on a shield. Tornadoes are rare, and follow known routes.

Flooding is kind of a thing, but localized and we've got good drainage. The last 100-year flood in my area took out a gas station and a restaurant, damaged a few houses.

Ice storms you can wait out, same with blizzards, and the state gov't works with the lumber industry to clear undergrowth.

We do have Detroit, however....

The southernmost portion of the San Andreas fault is inland from here. Runs down the eastern shore of the Salton Sea and down into norther Mexico. About 60 miles from San Diego. It has apparently been quite a while since it moved.

There was 7.1 quake in northern Mexico about 15 years ago. Same fault I believe. Sloshed some water out of our pool.

343 I grew up in upstate SC, which may be one of the least disaster-prone parts of the continent. Far enough west and north for a hurricane buffer (recent anomaly notwithstanding) far enough east that tornados played out. Far enough south for blizzard-free winters. Some swampy areas but no major rivers to cause widespread flooding. Minor fault line nearby but can't recall a tremor. Farmland all around provides ample fire breaks, helped by sensible, private property management. I remember some dry spells but not what you'd call dust bowls. Zero volcanoes so far.

346 I was going to note that Ohio is pretty low on the disaster list.

It used to be one of the more dangerous states. Around 1910, Dayton and Columbus were both destroyed by floods -- and then, R vs D, they competed to see how well they could rebuild, without any state aid, to prove a point. A vast series of dams, reservoirs and overflow spillways were built over a 20 year period, and now it's boring. For a while there Ohio was called "The Engineered State."

More northerly towns are all canals, dams and swamp bottom anyway, so had the same tradition but older. The Ravenna Arsenal region is a quandary: bottomless marshes on hilltops.

They taught us in grade school that because of the underlayment, there could never be an earthquake there. When a Richter 4 hit, the epicenter was under the physics department of my high school, and the teacher was called in for questioning.

Posted by: Way,Way Downriver at January 07, 2025 08:34 PM (zdLoL)

347 Michigan is supposedly the least dangerous...No earthquakes, we're on a shield. Tornadoes are rare, and follow known routes...Flooding is kind of a thing, but localized and we've got good drainage.

If you didn't play football, you'd never have any trouble at all.

352 California should have seen this coming and prepared better. What did they do with the money provided to fight these fires ? There should be an investigation, officials should be held accountable and fired. They had all kinds of time to avoid this situation. They should toss out that stupid Governor.
