The Los Angeles wildfires continue to burn out of control, with the death toll now at seven and expected to climb. Nearly 180,000 people have been ordered to evacuate and at least 10,000 buildings have been destroyed, L.A. Sheriff Robert Luna stating in a press conference that some of the impacted areas "look like a bomb was dropped in them."
Now satellite imagery is providing a look at the destruction caused by the fires — devastation which is likely to grow. The strong winds and dry conditions which have fuelled California's wildfires are predicted to continue until the middle of next week, with gusts of 55 mph forecast for Thursday night. The fires remain largely uncontained despite firefighters' tireless efforts, with the emergency responders also having been hindered by a lack of water.

It's so sad. All of this could have been prevented with responsible leadership.
ReplyDeleteHow?? I can understand people being angry but why not wait until the dust settles a bit before throwing blame. These fires happened during extreme wind and dry conditions. Not sure anything would have made much difference!
DeleteWe are entering the era of the rich becoming scared.

ReplyDeleteExcessive consumption (for some) has a lot to do with this; also suburban sprawl-- auto-dependent cities; flying everywhere; and never-ending wars. All these increase CO2 emissions , and HEAT. #NotSustainable
ReplyDeleteHow's the Getty museum and its tunnels
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they create a barrier zone between the forest and the settlement s so this never happens ( like a buffer zone - flattened) so fires don't reach human settlements)
ReplyDeletewith the winds they had, it would have made no difference.
Deleteprobably easier to manage if there is a buffer zone
Deleteit would have required a huge buffer zone to counter those winds.
Deletethat's because you guys have smart city planners over there. Here, let's say it's debatable.
DeleteAustralia lucky 3.3 Capital & Marketing
Delete90-plus mile an hour winds carried blazing hot embers miles. The fire jumped the 101.
Deleteash & sparks get carried in the wind, doesn't take much to ignite something.
DeleteThis was never a forest fire. It is an urban brush fires with hurricane force 100 mph winds.
Deleteno they are busy building a huge wall across the state
DeleteYou have the correct idea, but it will take a lot more than fire breaks. Everything from better building codes, to zoning, to better fire fighting equipment will ease the situation, not totally prevent it.

ReplyDeleteYes very much destruction in Gaza than California

ReplyDeleteI see all kinds of comments, from jokes to conspiracy theories, but no one mentions the biblical term, the scriptures are being fulfilled, wake up. It's not Trump, it's not Putin, it's not anyone, what is written must be fulfilled,
ReplyDelete“My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children” (Hosea 4:6).
Did you offer prayers for the people of Palestine and Lebanon who suffered greatly due to the devastating conflicts fueled by US aid to Israel, resulting in the loss of thousands of innocent lives, including children and women?
ReplyDeleteno cuz no one cares. Deal.with your own government like we are ours
Deleteyour Govt has paid for the weapons that are destroying Gaza 😳 Obviously not too bright 🙄
DeleteIt seems that now you're experiencing the pain of devastation, a consequence of the evil actions. I suppose this is a lesson in the importance of accountability.
Deleteevil post
DeleteWhen US funded Israel to kill innocent women and children, that was cute right?
DeleteMy empathy for my fellow humans affected by the fires in LA derives from my life here in Australia 🇦🇺 where bush fires are are regular part of life. We know all to well the pain and loss fires can impact upon people and wildlife alike.

DeleteDo you still believe in a God that created humans? 😵💫 Wake up, we are in the XXI century and there is one thing called SCIENCE.
DeleteMaybe God will finish your profile.
DeleteWhat are people saying about the killing done in Palestine by the bombs supplied by the Americans
ReplyDeleteMoved by fire in forests and unmoved by a real holocaust happening in colonised Palestine= double standards.
ReplyDeletemy god, you people pimping this Gaza topic daily but none of you blinks when Assad, ISIS, Al Qaida massacre 100K or demolish the whole regain. There are no demonstrations and no sound is made…. The hypocrisy here 100%
DeleteISis, alqida, Assad, Israel are all neo nazis helped by the West. By the way Israel is Isis with kippah so stop the fuss.
Deleteif they did kill the Jews that were minding their own business while having a good time at an outdoor musical festival were murdered while not bothering anyone and the Palestinians voted the bad guys to take care if while they build tunnels ect
DeletePalestine is an occupied land since 1948 by a bunch of colonisers from different nationalities. Countries are not built on the basis of religion. The colonisers caused the slaughter of 300,000 Palestinians and the forced exile of 6 million innocents since 1948 the date of the invasion of Palestine.

Delete#Palestine
DeleteThe Palestinian people have endured numerous injustices throughout their history, particularly since 1948, which marked the beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the establishment of the State of Israel. While it is impossible to cover all the complexities of this ongoing conflict in a brief synopsis, here are some fundamental injustices the Palestinians have faced:
Nakba (1948): In 1948, the Nakba, or "catastrophe," took place when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes and villages during the creation of Israel. Many Palestinians lost their land, property, and livelihoods, resulting in long-lasting refugee crises.
Palestinian Displacement and Refugees: The forcing of the establishment of the apartheid sate in 1948 led to the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes, resulting in one of the largest refugee populations in the world. Palestinians were forced to leave their ancestral lands, leading to a protracted refugee crisis that continues today. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) was created to provide assistance to Palestinian refugees, but the issue of the right of return remains unresolved.
Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (1967): After the Six-Day War in 1967, the apartheid gun machines occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip, leading to decades of military control, restrictions on movement, and the establishment of settlements on Palestinian land.
Displacement and Home Demolitions: The colonisation has demolished Palestinian homes in the occupied territories, often citing security concerns, leading to the displacement of Palestinian families.
Blockade of Gaza: Since 2007, the Gaza Strip has been subjected to a strict blockade, causing severe humanitarian challenges, including limited access to food, clean water, and medical supplies.
Settlement Expansion: The coloniser's settlements have been constructed in the West Bank, considered illegal under international law, often at the expense of Palestinian communities and their land.
Discrimination: Palestinian citizens of colonising Israel face systemic discrimination in various aspects of life, including education, housing, and employment.
Checkpoints and Restrictions: Palestinians in the West Bank endure numerous checkpoints and barriers, affecting daily life, economic activities, and access to healthcare and education.
Violence and Conflict: The Palestinian independence struggle has led to cycles of violence, including military operations, bombings, and clashes that have resulted in the loss of many lives, with a disproportionate impact on Palestinian civilians.
Lack of Political Autonomy: The lack of a viable and sovereign Palestinian state has led to a continuous struggle for self-determination and statehood.
Failed Peace Initiatives: Despite numerous attempts at peace negotiations, the occupying colonising country shuns all the US resolutions, leaving Palestinians without a clear path to self-determination and justice.
Casualties: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has seen thousands of casualties, including both deaths and injuries. Palestinians, including civilians, have suffered a significant number of casualties during armed conflicts and periods of violence. Israeli civilians and security forces have also been victims of violence and attacks. The conflict has led to a tragic loss of life and has caused immense suffering on both sides. These casualties represent not just numbers but the profound human toll and suffering the conflict has caused over the years. The loss of innocent lives and the ongoing displacement of Palestinians are central issues that Western media and politics neglect.
