“If God Wanted It To Rain… He Would Have Done It”: Devastating Fires Engulf LA (30 Pics)

So weather patterns are changing, shouldn’t we also adapt and say “ we need better water and brush and fire management to keep this from happening? As well as do what we can to minimize any negative impact we have on the planet?

Arsonists don't give a fat rat's a,rse about climate change and some of them have been caught in the act.

Not. Now!

Yikes

Yes, you're glad you're alive but Good Lord, you leave so much of yourself behind!

worst part is, it could probably have been prevented with better agricultural planning.

The level of hate and the brain washed rhetoric that Magas are currently spouting is reaching dangerous levels. They claimed he never started or was involved in any wars, that he was about peace. He made some comments about Greenland, Panama and Canada and now Don Jnr is visiting Greenland and republicans are holding meetings about "acquiring" Greenland as though its just a business transaction and not the invasion of a NATO ally they are talking about. Anyone who cant see we are heading into the worst case scenario with this incoming administration has their head up their a**e. I feel sick almost constantly at the manipulation and b******t that right wing media is jumping on board with just as the cherry on the s**t sundae we are facing.

California's bad management of both their water systems and their forestry have been a problem for decades. I agree that this is no time for trump to be running his mouth, but the los angeles fire dept budget got a lovely $17 million CUT in funding just a few months ago, and 2 of the reservoirs they are supposed to be able to use have been empty for months and not refilled. California's politicians definitely screwed this up.

That's 🍊 💩 for ya! Always finds a way to make it about himself and put down other people. The governor and the fire departments are doing their best.

It doesn't matter who's in charge, this situation is a mess.

This is what happens in a lib-tard run state. Everything falls apart and everyone wants to just blame Trump & not take accountability for anything. Trump is right. Liberalism is a mental disorder

And yet... oddly beautiful.

Holy Flerking Schnitz

You do realize that most people affected by these fires are quite awake to global warming, yes? This is California, not Alabama.

It's "there's nothing you can do anymore, you're f*u*c*k*e*d" call, sadly :/

I'm sure if they could, they did.

Thinking about disasters like this terrifies me, because we have a semi-feral cat we can't catch (we can cuddle with her, give her scritches, but we can't get her into a carrier) and in an emergency like this, we'd probably have to leave her behind.

There are a lot of places to take small pets and horses and larger animals.

Even if we totally stopped carbon emissions today, the damage continues for quite a long time before things start to improve. Your children's grandchildren may have a better world but what we are experiencing today is still catch up from centuries ago.

Looks like a good surveillance camera

There were two men and a dog trapped in this house. From what I've been able to find, they managed to escape.

From the video, they were surrounded.

Most beaches don't allow dogs. There are a few beaches in the LA area that do, referred to as dog beaches.

The nearest cleared open field or water way is my best guess, also highway underpasses and sewerage gutters as a last resort.

The police told them to. This is well documented.

Many people just kept hiking down to Sunset Blvd or another major thoroughfare hoping to find someone to come pick them up. They were panicked and didn't really know what to do.

Right??? Like, how far can you go on foot?

They literally ran.

Speaking for myself, in that situation I would be very scared and not thinking rationally.

No one is getting in individual cars and moving them. Do you know much time that would take?
