I hope all our California Brothers are safe from the fires burning in LA. The videos of the fire are really disturbing, high winds and fire summon a truly evil sort of fire.

I'm also reading reports of there is a lack of water to fight the fire. Though with high wind and flammable buildings only a big rainstorm can stop the fire or by making a firebreak by removing building with equipment or explosives.

[-o< for residents and firefighters.


That said, how long will it be before the "directed energy" and "weather modification" people start in on this fire? It's valuable property, but most likely well insured. There is no lithium deposit under LA, but there is a caption of sweet crude oil.

DRESDEN, GERMANY IN WWII"...
A FIRE THAT FEEDS ITSELF AND NONSTOPPABLE.

Yup...imagine being told to evacuate, and you do...then as you're driving away and down the road, traffic is at a standstill... there's a line of cars ahead and behind you...then you're told to shelter in place...lotsa folks abandoned their cars, as they were blocked in and couldn't turn around due to narrow street, and had to make it back home on foot...scary stuff...

my family and are 65-70 miles away and safe...we couldn't afford that neighborhood anyways, being on the coast and near the beach, in beautiful foothills above the Pacific

True, this is time when the Santa Anna winds blow out of the desert, over the San Gabriels and toward the Pacific Ocean. They are supposed to be blowing ups to 100 MPH. As you say, the fire will create it's own wind with all that heat rising, it makes cyclonic winds of its own. I saw it once in the San Gabriel mountains from a fire in Burro Canyon, it made my hair stand on end.

We called them Diablo winds in NorCal. I do not miss it. I would have ash on my car from fires 100 miles away.

very dry in SoCal, much less rainfall than average, since last May...the rainstorms a coupla months ago missed SoCal, drenching NoCal instead...add in dry Santa Ana winds, combustible vegetation and some kinda spark and it can get dangerous fast...

I haven't heard a cause, but it doesn't take much in that dry country. Besides the pervert arsonists it's super easy to get a fire going there.

I once managed it while cutting weeds with a hoe, the wood and metal sort. Another time with a cigarette butt that fell into a very weathered, splintered and old six inch thick plank and caught that on fire. In both cases we immediately put out the fires, but it was astonishing how quickly they got going.

I saw the videos last evening
On the ABC 630 NEWS...
IT LOOKED LIKE ARMAGEDON...
All the abandoned burned out cars while trying to get away from the fire
Then they went on foot!!!

If I lived in California, I'd by a super decent mask for my entire family...
One that filters out burning smoke efficiently, like a REALLY GOOD HEPA
MASK OR A PROFESSIONAL GRADE firefighters mask...
Just for the above scenario...

Just like 911 in NYC...THE FIREMEN HAD NO DECENT MASKS FOR SMOKE
OR ASBESTOS FILTERING...it was a joke with them using bananas and wet towels...that is such a basic thing all firefighters and cops need...
Yet 4/5 of them had nothing at all...

I haven't heard the latest?
I did hear " 5 football fields of areas " are burning every minute!!!

That is really really bad...
