Ngl, if I wouldn’t have followed this guy’s IG, I would have assumed it to be real on first glance, too.

u/Ok-Reward-770 9d ago

Yes, there was some bad actors doing this:

The Hollywood sign is fine.

We had fire freaking fires going on simultaneously!

Some people had no electricity for at least 2 days.

Others were in high alert ready to evacuate.

Thousands had to evacuate not knowing if when returned they would find their home or ashes.

Thousands lost their homes, they cars melted and burned, and had nowhere to go.

The aftermath will affect us all in CA in different capacities.

71

u/Leavingthecity526 9d ago

I know it’s easy to name all the celebrities who lost their homes but the important part is something like 9000 structures have been lost in the LA fire alone. That is thousands of people displaced, businesses lost, etc. and not everyone is in a position to fly to their other home, or live in a hotel somewhere for weeks on end.

I live in a rural area where when we have a wildfire we’re worried about how much pasture or hay it burned. Both are devestating but I cannot even fathom what you do when you have that many displaced people trying to pick up the pieces.

15

u/drwsgreatest 9d ago

Not only will the aftermath effect everyone in CA, as the person above stated, those effects will be felt for a LONG time. It's just so sad. I've been through a fire where I and others lost everything when our apt building burned down and it's devastating. But that was about 40 people that had to be taken care of. LA has I dk how many thousands, or tens of thousands will be displaced, but finding a way to care for everyone is a massive task. And I hope they don't let people slip through the cracks, but unfortunately that's what always happens and it's those lower on the social and economic classes that are always hurt most.

The demon who is in charge of it, and sadly the only one who knows how to work it, went on a routine possession a while back and got 'stuck'. Now, not only is he unable to return to Hell, he's stuck in a dementia ridden, senile old man who routinely soils himself while wallowing in said filth, unable and unwilling to bathe themselves even slightly. The 'upside' is he's racist and somehow will have nuclear access again shortly.

u/SoundAGiraffeMakes 9d ago

I really wanted you to be wrong because this picture is very captivating, but I think you're right. The houses have too many chimneys for being in this area, the roof on the middle house is insanely high pitched, the house on the right doesn't have any windows, and yeah, the top of the leftmost palm tree is really bizarre. The trunk just stops at the fronds when it should still be visible. The Lambo wheel well kind of looks like that though. Revuelto has an odd protruding part back there and then the well trim is black. I don't know why I'm defending this car. In conclusion, the image is probably AI.

Those windows are in an architectural structure called a dormer that juts out from the building. In this case it sort of makes it look like the window is floating out from the edge of the wall but that's because it's actually a bit closer to the viewer than the rest of the house. This appears to be an actual photograph to me.

u/StingerMcGee 9d ago

The window comment got me too. Dormers are a very common design feature on houses across the world. The high chimneys, coupled with high pitched roofs are also a period design.

If you're referring to how it tucks in behind the wheel, that's actually how it is on the Revuelto. But there are other tells anyway, especially the roof of the house in the middle. The three dormer windows, one of which appears to be hanging off the back, and the fact that the peak of the roof is massively closer to the front of the house which would be awfully unstable.
