It was obviously an inconvenient truth for you then because as the city official stated it wouldn't have mattered if they had enough water because the winds were blowing so hard. Besides that the decrease in water wasn't because the fire budget was cut it was because so many fire crews were drawing water from the hydrants to fight the fire.

I had always heard from geologists especially that we generally can only feel earthquakes above 3.0 M. A 1.7 M quake is way below a 3.0 so I would like more input from geologists about this.

Congrats!! That is by far the dumbest comment today on this disaster in LA county! Here's a hint for you with hurricane force winds it wouldn't matter how many fire fighters were out there to fight this fire!! Unless they had maybe 100,000 more fighting the fire. Yeah that's realistic?! 🙄

Your lies are really obvious you know!?

No money is being spent on going to Mars right now. The NASA funding to Space X is for going to the Moon. Who are you even talking to with that vague "You should" stuff anyway??

Sometimes the wraith of nature overwhelms whatever people do try and stop it.

@paulrandig That's not entirely true as the US has supplied Ukraine with Patriot missile batteries to fight incoming ordinance.

You don't have a shred of evidence to support that claim, but I understand that is the fav go to excuse for some looking for a convenient excuse every time a fire breaks out in California. These fires were initially started by downed power lines from the powerful winds. And the fires were also spread by those winds which can carry embers for miles.

😂😅🤣. We have seen the wreckage created by republicans in red states so there is no reason to be so smug!!

That's an insanely stupid comment!! That is one of the most nakedly partisan comments yet on these fires!!

@Bigsquirrel_ The Santa Ana winds were calmer today allowing fire fighters to gain ground on these fires. Some progress in creating a perimeter around the fires. But it's slow work and if the winds kick back up it will slow the progress even more. Fire fighters will keep at these fires until they are under control. This disaster will end at some point.

@user-se2xg7tq5u When the wind is blowing at up to 80 mph there is little that fire fighters can do. The big planes that scoop water out of ocean can't fly because it is too dangerous. And the fire is moving too fast for fire fighters to get a handle on fighting the fire which is why these fires have burned so many homes so quickly. That is what fire fighters themselves have said. In the first 3 days of these fires there was zero % containment which should tell you how difficult it was for the fire fighters to make any progress!!

@elenaelena972 Obviously cutting the budget that would affect fire fighters would be problematic for several reasons, but without knowing the details when it concerns LA is beyond my ability to comment specifically.

@Robert-t5u2o I don't know enough about the details of the politics in LA to comment one way or another.

That nationalist talk never worked before and only brought us dictators like Hitler! Surely you can be less unaware of how the world works?!

So is Newsome supposed to look devastated,?? Would you feel better then??
1
@GaryVines-m5q No I cannot prove nor disprove that arson was the cause and so far neither can anyone else.

Do you always make up stupid stories to hide behind your neurotic and deceitful state of mind?? Just curious.

It's not about fixing blame, but fixing the problem!!

@jrnfw4060 Do you need an education about how government officials are elected by the eligible voting public? Governors are elected to four year terms. Newsome was reelected in the 2022 election.

@jrnfw4060 Voters elect candidates who are projections of themselves or personify what they are looking for in a leader. What voters often ignore or overlook are the difficulties leaders face or the pressure they experience in the process of doing their job. And sometimes the chosen candidate is confronted with an experience that is overwhelming in some way. This disaster may be such a case for Newsome, Bass and others. Never has the city of Los Angeles faced such a devastating fire as this one that has erupted so fast and caused so much destruction in such a short space of time. Many people are already prejudging Newsome when they don't have all of the facts or their bias prevents them from being objective. I won't argue the points where Newsome may or may not have failed in some way. There is a time and place for that. Imo climate change must be factored into what decisions were made or should have been made because the unusual timing of this drought overlapping with the onset of the Santa Ana winds which needs to be considered. What kind of mitigating programs could have addressed that point? The bottom line for me and partly explains the difficulty people like Newsome face is the simple fact that far too many people live in the southwest. No serious effort has ever been made to manage population growth ever!! And consequently we have the recipe for disaster with the densely populated Los Angeles area in houses that are not designed to withstand fires. There are other problems like James Woods, the actor talked about one street that accessed his neighborhood in Palisades that ended up burning down. That is just poor city planning, but it was laid out decades ago when fire was a remote fear for people. People need to look past their need to blame a politician especially right now and let them do their jobs because like I stated there are underlying issues not being addressed when observers just want to blame someone.

Basic education would save a lot more. Try starting with yourself by studying climate change. No amount of forest management makes any god damn difference when the vegetation is tinder dry from a drought and the Santa Ana winds are blowing at up 90 mph!!

Or how about the loving god is becoming the murderous tyrant again!!

Let's turn that around shell we?? Did you vote for trump in the last election? If you did you are enabling a felon guilty of 34 felonies and multiple civil verdicts! If you voted for trump you are enabling a felon who invoked the Jan 6 insurrection which resulted in 140 capital police being injured and 5 killed! trump also spreads more lies than any president in history. He claims that immigrants were eating pets in a small Ohio town. He actually thought that was relevant to bring up at the debate!! That's how sick that man is!!

Then whine and whine some more!!

@liblib1815 Your baseless partisan jab reflects on your inability to carry on a civil nonpartisan discussion. California has been the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world for at least a couple of decades because of their high productivity in multiple areas.

@thewedge8823 Call it what you will, I am simply calling BS when zero evidence was provided to support the claim made. It's as simple as that!
