Crazy, this world is burning figuratively and realistically

[phantomninja]

Cali for real has like 5 wildfires a year it feels like. I dont know how they even have any forest left at this point.

[IntheCloudsEver]

That’s always a scary feeling to have. The pictures of those homes…reduced to nothing. I wouldn’t wish that on anybody 💜I hope people were able to get what they needed most and get out

Well that's it, insurance companies leaving California and dropping policy.

All this could have been avoided if the forests were properly managed. What a pity.

[davidcontreras]

It rains a lot and then a lot of fires remember this last time was 30-35 years ago.

[SpaTelliteAM]

Does the news have more solutions for each tragety?

[kingsleynwofe]

Are these fires starting on their own or what? Why are other African countries hotter than America not suffering same thing?

[asmaben]

Good to see just how effectively Gary Newson has managed the State...it is not like they couldn't see it coming...no prevention at all... but they have to fund Ukraine First

[PrggyWade]

Have there been serious investigations begun on fires this year in California?
Too many people have lost loved ones and homes. This must come to an end. This cannot keep on year after year. What is this?
This human suffering must stop. After all, this is America. We have all the tools for cessation of this.

Reign of fire (a movie by Rob bowman 2002)

[petrusromanus]

Kamala Harris should command and fight California fire in fireman suit.

[ChelsieMorganTonight]

I don’t think that his burning car has caused all of this….

[Dude-zzom]

Een logische gedachte zou zijn dat hij de auto daar kwijt wilde. Het lijkt mij niet logisch opzettelijk een brandende auto te gebruiken om een bosbrand te willen veroorzaken. Het was volgens mij weer zo'n domme actie die toevallig voor een groter vuur zorgde dan verwacht..
