To all my fellow Freepers who live in California,
Especially those in the Los Angeles area,
I'm monitoring the out-of-control fires that are raging in your area. My heart breaks for you all.
The scenes I am seeing look like a Biblical disaster. A small nuclear device would have done less damage. The entire LA area looks like it will be utterly destroyed.
I'm leaving out any discussion of fault, that is fodder for another thread. This thread is simply to wish you all well. Please remember, your life (and the life of those you love, including pets) is of paramount importance. Material goods, while important, are not as important as your safety.
As you can, please check in and let us know you are safe.
For those who have not yet understood how bad it is, please see this video, which is a shot someone took who was flying into LAX.
Heartbreaking. My prayers are with you all.
Yes. I did not see any name calling.
Did I miss any name calling, like your post?
Climate Change … my Aunt Fani.
It’s their EXCUSE for their horrid DEI and policies.
I’m so sorry to hear this terrible news.
Praying for your family.
Prayers for your nephew’s family.
Praying for our California FReepers.
It is awful. I hope and pray all of you in Southern California are safe.
Here in North Orange County, I am a long way from the fires. However, the La Habra Hills, which are a mile away and bone-dry from lack of rain, are a potential brushfire hazard.
Yeah... it’s not a crime to call out the infrastructure for failing.
What’s the reason?
Fix it!
It’s criminal negligence, I say.
Remember this post was not supposed to talk about the reasons, blame etc…
There are many posts in the hydrant failure.
Shut up, Jane.
OK, I apologize and respect your wise counsel. My bad. TY for pointing this out. Stick to the topic (me) and render support to our fellow freepers in CAL.
Praying for you and yours!
<> Idiot led around by the nose by the media. <>
tsk tsk tsk
Come on now.
We ALL get a little out of our lanes on FR now and then.
Let’s recognize when we blow a gasket and wish for an EDIT button at FR... lol
The CHAIR recognizes the lady from Texas. lol
That’s all you’ve got.
You lost any argument when you name called another FReeper.
Now, you’re embarrassed for being called out, twice, by me...so you say, Shut up, Jane.
Tells us all we need to know.
;-)
Jane, I’m sitting here smelling it inside my house. Don’t need your virtue signaling from thousands of miles away.
My advice is turn off the TV.
So that justifies your name calling?
Look, we understand the stress, but, man up and admit you were being a complete jack@ to the other FReeper, and, to me.
And, my TV is NOT on, right now. I’m watching aerial vids of LA, on X.
My advice is to not take your stress out on other FReepers .... tonight, or any night. Like I said...uncalled for. Everyone is expressing their own concern and you come back with name calling.
Again....telling.
I don’t know if anyone has posted this before, but this interview with James Woods is heartbreaking:

God Bless all the people who are suffering from this disaster.
