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.

No cure for willful ignorance. Some folks hear California and assume everone living there is wrong, period. I know some people in Northern California. They own businesses, love God and are suspicious of government.

Apparently, the self-righteous and sanctimonious among us don’t know or care the owner of this site lives in California. Bet they’re also unaware California is always a top contributor in our

What would Sarah say? LOL

I have no idea. We aren’t really buddies like that.

Did God have something to do with the crane? I have no way of knowing but a lot of people seem to think so.

I only mentioned what had already occurred and was recorded in the Bible. Everything else is just speculation. I do know the Bible talks about God’s judgment. You do the math.

Anyone who knows who God is knows that He is in control. He doesn’t set fires but He does allow things like this for His purposes. Do I know WHAT His purpose is? No. I don’t need to. God is in control. Always.

Very, very nicely stated. If I were writing a treatise rather than merely commenting on FR, I guess I might just take the trouble to add, "for His very good purposes," and "I don't need to [know WHAT His purpose is] because I know and can rely on Him and His holy nature."

A+

You can thank environmentalists for this.

Without humans maintaining the land fires will destroy more “protected species” and trees.

So thanks for nothing epa!

A car load of muslims in their muslim garb could be seen fleeing the area with empty gas cans and flame throwers and one, the media would never report it and two, if it did get out the authorities would say it was a misunderstanding.

Good point...
Most folks there are ranchers, rural, wine growers, hard working folks...
They are a victim of the drought, crappy planning and a stupidly run state...
Kind of as if most of VA is devastated by a hurricane but because No VA is full of lib, illegal, muzzie, dims, we have all been cursed by G-d....
Not too sure about that...
