#2 Many celebs who backed Biden are getting the treatment the common folks of western North Carolina got. Though I doubt there's going to be fund raising efforts among the plebeians and Amish showing up to help rebuild. Karma.

Elon Musk announces SpaceX will provide free Starlink terminals in LA amid raging fires

Starlink is "the only reason we're able to hear and communicate with you guys right now because there's absolutely no cell service at all in this whole area."

Swalwell:
"This is so sad. Elon, I believe you want to help as much as I do. I'll use my post on Homeland Security Committee to have an open mind re: concerns over fire cause/response," Swalwell said when responding to the video Musk shared.

#5 "The nature of the wildfire problem changes a little bit from north to south… In both cases, you have the issue of air quality management districts that are under both federal and state mandate to clean up the air. That makes it difficult to have prescribed burns with the sort of frequency that needs to happen to be able to reduce the fuel load," Devore said.

What did they think would happen when they set the rules?

Yeah, they backed Newsom too. Karen Bass too. This is karma biting their butts.

From the link: City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping.

It's like I posted yesterday, the state is run by crooked morons...all Democrats. The way they've been running things, a catastrophe like this was inevitable. More of the same will no doubt follow, sad to say.

So far my family is unscathed but I can't say the same for some of our friends. Of course, the air quality all over southern California sucks but I still have hope the firestorm won't come to San Diego County. We've had our share of wild fires in previous years.
