COBB, Calif. (KCRA) —A fast-moving wildfire burning in Lake County exploded to 50,000 acres and has destroyed hundreds of homes, Cal Fire officials said.

Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said more than 100 homes were destroyed by a wildfire that exploded in size within hours. That number was updated into the hundreds Sunday afternoon.

Berlant said wind gusts that reached up to 30 mph sent embers raining down on homes.

These ‘laws’ are no different than the sanctuary city crap when you get down to it. Pure politics to benefit Democrat constituencies...in this case eco nazis...it’s a vote buying scheme.

While it is true that the politicians are depleting resource lands of producers (conservatives) and substituting them with welfare cases, retirees, and bureaucrat's the money for this operation comes from tax-exempt "charitable" foundations of major stockholders in industries seeking higher prices for competing sources. It is effectively corporate corruption.

Pretty much. But today corporate corruption and political are one and the same as politics is very much a business.

seriously, i can’t believe people actually believe God had anything to do with sending the fire. thats nuts. sorry, but it is.

We've heard this kind of argument regarding Californians too often on FR. Something along the lines that "God sends natural disasters to punish the gays in San Francisco" - but somehow his aim is always off by a hundred miles or so.

Those events had something to do with Obama, Hillary, Jeb Bush, the Dems, the Gop and Trump?

I lived in Sonoma Co for a number of years and every summer the air tankers out of Sonoma Co airport were on the go.
Now living in the East Bay, just a block from Wild Cat Canyon ,I’m praying for those folks.

Besides being instructed to kill military here in the U.S., weren’t American muslims instructed to set forest fires?

They were indeed. al Qaeda, ISIS and the rest of that pack of terrorist scum bags were encouraged by whoever the raghead of the day was on any given day, to set fires, destroy bridges, dams, and other parts of the infrastructure.

When the perpetrators of such acts are caught, they need to be subjected to 'field executions', we're in a war, we have enemies out there who want to kill us, and we need to kill them first and without delay.

Of course that will have to wait until we actually have a real American President who takes their Oath of Office seriously.

I don't believe that will ever happen again. The next president, whoever he/she is, will do the bidding of the plutocracy/global organized crime syndicate. They will tell him/her what to do and say.

“They defy G-d at their own peril.”

We’re talking Lake County here... though registered dems have a plurality, it’s not some nutjob bastion like SF.

“You are right, as long as they spit in God’s face, God will turn more and more heat up on them.”

And for the sizable minority of people in NorCal who DON’T spit in God’s face, I guess they’re just “collateral damage?”

No - turning away from God. Not honoring God. Does that list honor God?

In Noah's time, was it the people that turned away from God, or just some of the political leaders? How about Sodom and Gomorrah?
