No compassion there! 😢 It sounds like another fun day at the news desk raking in the money.

"heat index" is not actual temperature, but "what it feels like when combined with humidity"...

I pray 🤲 our lord to safe California to bring the rain 🌧 🙏 🙌 ❤️

The funny (not so much) fact is that California has been doing Cloudseeding. I was able to easily find a Cloudseeding company with an easy search located in Santa Barbara, with the dates of their completed and scheduled cloudseedings and results.

Why don’t they use their weather-manipulating technology to bring rainstorms over the now 5th largest fire innCA history?

NATURAL DISASTERS: "California frequently experiences natural disasters such as wildfires, floods, earthquakes, and landslides. Residents should be prepared for these environmental hazards, which are often exacerbated by extreme weather events and climate change."

California typically experiences the largest number of wildfires and acres burned annually compared to other states in the United States.

California is also frequently cited as the state that experiences the most severe and widespread droughts in the United States.

Annual earthquake damages in the US are estimated at $14.7 billion, up from $7.5 billion in 2017. California accounts for $9.6 billion of the annual losses, followed by Washington ($1.2 billion) and Oregon ($745 million). San Andreas - are you also waking up?

Shouldn't have attacked on October 7th! Mess around find out!

First I watch every day and get filled with love, thanks. NOW!, our government can and won't put all of these wild fires out, by choice. Come on people, we can send ships to space and still don't think capturing sand, ocean or lake water to put out the biggest pollutant? That needs to happen for farms, homes, nature and our lives. This is insane...MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

Cloud seeding since 1946. Faster way to stop or slow a forest fire.
