Hughes Fire forces evacuations in Castaic

Mandatory evacuations are underway as the Hughes Fire explodes in the Castaic Lake area of Los Angeles County, just north of the Santa Clarita area. FOX 11 is live with Stu Mundel up in SkyFOX.

California fires have wreaked havoc on Los Angeles for weeks as crews battled several deadly massive blazes, including the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Kenneth Fire, Sunset Fire, Lidia Fire and Woodley Fire. Areas impacted included the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, Sylmar, Encino, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Hollywood Hills, West Hills, Acton and parts of Ventura County and Riverside County.

These fires can't be just " wild ", human is behind

2 hours 46 minutes. It’s a church not the Lake Hughes visitor center. It hasn’t been that way for 30 years. I’m so thankful the church is still standing!

The smoke alone will have you evacuate

[amythurman]

These fires and smoke are Really going to charge the atmosphere. Watch for changes in weather patterns towards the Midwest. This is what also causes the climate to shift. If anybody says that's not true then they're fools. Prayers for those facing all of this turmoil 😢🙏🏼

Where's LA private fire departments? They could have been cutting away the flammable brush and tumble weeds and waiting in the nearby wind and brush areas and then easily put the fire out with a reservoir full of water?

arson, fire doesn't start itself

"Are there specific types of excavators better suited for wildfire management?"

Hmmm wonder what happened to all those bird flu cases

"The focus of the paper is on how SRM could affect the formation of tropical cyclones. These are large storms that develop over tropical waters. They go by different names depending on where they develop – they are called hurricanes in the north Atlantic and northeast Pacific, typhoons in the northwest Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean."

There's a huge lake right by! I hope they are using it???

YOU CAN SEE IT MAHORAGA!
YOU CAN SEE MY CURSED TECHNIQUE!

“My concern is that the positive impacts for one region may motivate an individual to deploy solar geoengineering in a single hemisphere at the expense of severe negative impacts to another region."

[lobehold]

Certain geoengineering techniques could also have far-reaching and uneven impacts, creating real difficulties in identifying attribution in relation to extreme weather events. For example, solar geoengineering could cause droughts and disrupt monsoons, leading to a cascade of disastrous consequences.

"Turning over the soil with backhoes might be the key to slowing down wildfires."

" The dark blue line shows a scenario with an annual aerosol injection in the southern hemisphere, while red shows a scenario with an injection in the northern hemisphere. The graph also includes a climate scenario with no geoengineering (purple) and a scenario with an injection in both hemispheres (turquoise)."

I just heard that most of those inmates are still there; while, others were moved!!!! What about them? How are the fires affecting them?
