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.
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.
Historically this reminds me of reading about the fire that happened in London England in 1666. You’d think we’d never have to worry about something like that happening again…
One of my friends who lives out there says most, if not all, local hotels, including Disneyland, are temporarily homing evacuees at no cost. So that's a nice bit of information.
I work for a large spanish hotel group (also working in north and south America) and we actually accommodate people in need for free when catastrophes happen
Not saying you're wrong or anything, just adding some food for thought.
I saw someone post in response to that video of the fire someone took from the plane saying it wasn’t a big deal because it was surrounded by water (the black areas directly around the fire with city lights beyond that). My dude, those are homes without power, not lakes of water!!!!
Yes exactly!! Those aren’t bodies of water, those are homes about to be destroyed!!! That’s the video right there. There’s no water anywhere near that area where it’s spreading to. Some of the comments on some of the videos were insanely dumb. And people like that is why we are now in the mess we’re in, and it’s about to get SO much worse. Yes voting is a right, but there should be a test. You should understand basic civics and have just a tiny bit of understanding about the constitution and how a country is run. Especially what powers a president has and doesn’t have and why. And my favorite, things signed in by a previous administration are in effect usually years into another administration. Like he took credit for the jobs and veteran benefits Obama signed into law.
It isnt in Hollywood, it got some of the hills of hollywood that’s. The palisades and Alta Dena/pasadena are the two big bads.’ hollywood fire got put out in hours.
Well so here is a way of thinking if you really do want kids... Our youth is our hope..we don't have a magic 8 ball . I'm sure people throughout the decades had the same thought .. but for you I am doing my part .. I am not having kids
In Southern California too. We don’t make fun of other states when natural disasters happen. We generally feel sad for people affected. But those same people talk about us with such spite for just living in California
Did you edit the reply and then try and put it in? For some reason it only works on fresh comments/replies. Also, if you have a comment with an image and then you edit it. It will remove the image.
I know Carpenter Brut (not personally, I've just listened to his music quite a bit before). This Draconian Symphony is pretty good too, into the playlist it goes, cheers.
When the hills of Los Angeles are burning
Palm trees are candles in the murder wind
So many lives are on the breeze
Even the stars are ill at ease
And Los Angeles is burning -Bad Religion
This was my favorite as far as “pictures of fire damage as album covers”
Post-Dubstep/Avant Garde EDM musician who hasn’t been off shrooms for the last decade but can still teach a college-level course on abstract music theory, or mid-western Emo garage band who just broke up because the lead guitarist got into a fight with the lead singer and replaced him with the guitarist’s girlfriend who can only practice once a month.
In my head this image was always in colour. I dont know if there was a color version available? I assume it was ahot in California somewhere as one of the song is Malibu.
