So actually want to know how bad is it in LA with the fires? A real assessment. Is it extra bad this year or just another fire season in Southern CA?
In Oregon, it’s flooding season and the people who decided to build , buy and/or continue to live on flood plains are in the news every year with the how can this happen again look on their faces.
You kind of feel bad for them but then your like you choose to live wheee you do.
A few years back we had a really bad summer with multiple big fires. The entire state seemed like it was affected. It felt like End of Days shit looking at the sky for like two weeks.
I went jogging a couple days ago at cystal cove. Here’s a pic I took. Was fine to me. This pic looks north toward where the fires all are. So they’d be on the horizon
Read today news, about 9,000+ buildings and houses have been destroyed and counting. $50 billion in damages. God bless all who loss their lives, homes, businesses. These fires are = big Wipe Out!
The Santa Ana winds made things Real Bad. But, with so many multiple fires, I'm betting they were started by a group of arsonists. They must have been organized in starting so many fires throughout LA; which spread the fire fighters too thin.
If these sick arsonists are caught, hang um!
Most of the smoke is headed out to the ocean, unless you are in the path of the Eton fire. It is crazy how you can go outside and it is really nice, and you look to the horizon and a few miles away it looks like an atom bomb just went off. The scrub brush on the hills is dark green, but very dry which is normal, and the wild grass is not brown, it is so dry it is almost silver. The mountains look like they will ignite if you even look at them the wrong way. By now there has usually been enough rain to keep these fires away, but I don't think there has been even 0.10 of an inch yet this season. These winds were bad, but certainly not WAY above and beyond any that have come before, it was just a horrible timing with such a late season lack of rain. Also, the palisades neighborhoods that burned that they show on the news were backing up to dry brush on the edges, but, these were blocks upon blocks upon blocks of lush landscapes, tile roofs, smooth stucco, huge pools, and not really what i would call "fire hazards". These houses were literally wiped off the face of the earth.
