Makes me think about Gaza,😭

Karma
May God be with all the first responders!
LA to Trump, United We Stand 💪💙🇺🇸💖
NBC working hard to blame this on global warming and MAGA Republicans. Give them time. Good fiction takes time to write.
Quick giving us all this fake news give us the real news what really happened
Maybe they shouldn't "rebuild" in those areas any more. This just keep getting worse every year. We must acknowledge climate change or these natural disasters are going to wipe us off the planet…the hurricanes, the fires, high winds, etc. Something has to change. We've had multiple biblical events within 12 months. God help all those affected. So so sad.
They cant win a war against a fire to save an American city, so why would they be able to win a war against Russia and China??
LA could get some tax relief for the city to rebuild. To build with fireproof materials and get water ready should another fire break out.
Human greeds why they need such a big house???? People are very greedy this days!!! Live simple and love GOD!!!!!
Its funny its 2 of the 3 nations Trump threathed, that are saving Los Angeles atm, Canadian Planes and Heli's and Mexican firefighters and materiel.
Lester holt always reading news with an air of excitement!! Smh.
Gaza
No water in the hydrants? How awful.
GAZA children’s are homeless in this winter time .
It was planned for the 2028 olympics
If California had a different governor the outcome would have been completely different.
The state of California should have been prepared… more firefighters more water and more funding.
Newscum must go!
When Golden Globe awards mocked GOD ! hollywood ashes and rubble is the effect
Luke 13:5 I tell you, nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall All likewise perish. Luke 13:35 Behold your house is left unto you desolate:
Netflix will be taking notes 😂
No one has talked about why the 1 reservoir was offline and had no water. Last year, holes were discovered in the floating cover. This allowed contaminants, dirt, bird droppings, and more to fall into water. This reservoir supplies drinking water to the Palisades. It had to be drained until the cover was replaced.
It would have had little effect even if filled. The problems are hurricane force winds, flying embers, and low water pressure from too many fire engines pulling water at same time. More fire engines, more firefighters, a filled reservoir, would not have changed the outcome. The fire in Palisades was already too big within minutes of fire engines arriving.
Yes, I am an Engineer…
i told u all.!have a quiet place and ask GOD foregiveness!
