As someone who lost everything in the fire that destroyed Paradise, California 5 years ago, I feel their pain. Hopefully all will be safe.

[ajlacostewm]

Why are they blaming the hot weather for the fire, and not the idiot who flicked a cigarette out the window?

[christostomas]

Thank you to Turkey, Israel and Italy for rushing to help Rhodes!

[starvedbaby]

Why are the bottoms of the little trees blurred and most of the other stuff, also where is the fires ?? Do you see them??

[HarrisonHanson-hyor]

I actually live in Rhode Island & woke up, read this & asked myself how long have I been asleep?!? 😳🤯😳🤯

[sunnysanwar]

I thought it says Rhode Island, as in the US northeast - I was like, wow, that’s a powerful wildfire across the Atlantic

The Bible is coming true more and more each day!! Good will be considered bad and bad will be considered good, family will turn on each other even kill each other, devastation and disasters will be all over the world more and more. These are all signs of the end of time!! I pray people wake up and give themself to Jesus!!

At first I thought this was about Rhode Island and Newport, etc....
My bad. 🥴

[pennytallfeather]

GOD Bless these people, am so sorry u are going though this horrible time

[joshuaederer]

Then…the government swoops in and claims the land.

[debbie]

I’ve heard “grease” fires are really dangerous to put out and you’re not supposed to throw water on them..

[wickedkotton]

i lost my home and all but my life in a wildfire in 2014 now im a wildland fire fighter have a new home and seems only right to make a living fighting what took most from me

[ucapt-itvf]

😢😢😢 I missed Rhodes, such beautiful island . I hope those free roaming peacocks 🦚 are safe😢 and the monastery 😢

[louiselevine]

Been there…so sorry. God be with these people

[HurricanePatrick]

Anyone else read that as Rhode Island?

[JohnSmith-lyqp]

Let me guess. We're going to scream climate change until there's a new grifting tax?

[luiszuluaga]

From the cradle of modern civilization and empire to sky high unemployment and inflation and the fires which actually have been happening longer than people seem to understand. I don’t wish this for anyone.

[leonbridges]

It will not be water but fire this time. 🖤👽

[KingoftheCountry]

Dang hell really has been unleashed on earth.. I blame women for getting out of control 😂

[torablack]

on the bright side a bunch of Morels are probably going to grow in that area next year.
