Opinion California on fire

[RoastBeast]

I haven't been keeping up on it but I wonder if he lack of water pressure has anything to do with people leaving their sprinklers on? I know if I had to evacuate, I'd turn my sprinklers toward my house and let them run.

It's ridiculous to hear the Democrats blame "Global Warming" and then the Left Cult brainlessly mimics them with the excuse.

This website has always sucked. Never seen a website taken down so often and it's basically unusable on my phone now with constant ads refreshing it while I type.

There really is no choice but to use the brave browser. The site is unusable on Chrome

there are like five separate fires at this point, up to 30 miles apart I believe (briefly saw the map of fires on a news report). As far as I'm aware, the hydrants didnt pulled from a reserve that is not capable of fighting wild fires + do not have nearly enough to fight the fires. I've always thought of those places as sketchy places to live, the terrain is impossible, and streets too narrow to be a barrier. You probably need some foaming action/mud or clay to prevent the moisture lost, sprinklers would need to be mounted at the top of the homes to be effective (many multi level homes in the area). Even then, the sheer heat would make you leave the area, those fires were raging.

You're welcome to if you want. But my comment remains. There is a risk building in certain areas people have to acknowledge. Preparedness can only go so far toward mitigation.

However, in this particular case investigations need to be done to see if negligence reaches the level for criminal prosecution of those in authority and who bear responsibility for not meeting a proper level of preparedness.

Here's the thing though...Cali burns. Everyone knows that yet people still build there and live there. Everyone knows the State must provide robust measures to deal with fires cause...Cali burns. Are those robust measures secured from the exorbitant taxes paid there? Apparently not and once again...Cali burns.

Who could have possibly foreseen this?

The fact they were woefully unprepared to the fight the fires and neglected regular maintenance on forest areas near the city are criminal negligence. I'm a civil engineer/contractor... and there's methods of calculating the volume of water required to fight fires. In fact, most neighborhood development water supply systems are designed for peak flow for addressing fires.

I saw the Head of Cali Water Management say that they depleted the storage of 3 million gallons in less than a day. 3 million gallons is nothing. Water plants here in Houston have at least one usually have two 3-5 million ground water tanks. Harris County is building three pump stations that have multiple 15 million gallon tanks. BTW - This lady makes $750K per year. What the fuck is she doing? Like everyone else in California government... nothing. More worthless than tits on a warthog as my dad used to say.

Obviously they severely underestimated the volume required.

We all know what happened. California is bureaucratic nightmare. They bend the knee to the radical environmental groups, so nothing gets done.... Fuck that, they can't even get started. Californa voters approved billions to increase water supply over a decade ago and not one project has even started.

Having all the preparations in place may not have completely stopped this fire, but they sure as hell wouldn't have ran out of water completel and had to give up and let the fire burn complete neighborhoods unabated.

First off... This is complete bullshit. More lying right to your face. I build water plants and pump stations for a living. Every water plant/pump station has back up generators just for this reason. These generators run 30-60 minutes per weeks as standard maintenance and verify they're working properly.





Governments in California are completely incompetent and are guilty of gross negligence.

This is the City of Houston's newest Water Treatment Plant. My company had 4 phases of this project.

Each of those tanks are 15 million gallons each... For a total of 60 million gallons.

This plant transfers water to the west side in Katy and Cypress to pump stations that have 30 million gallons storage each. During the wet season, they can fill all of these tanks for the high demand summer season.

What I'm getting at is that there's solutions... And with California having some of the highest taxes in the nation, there's zero excuse to not do everything possible.

Fucking piece of shit Trump making up lies and politicizing a disaster... fucking fat femmy cunt he is.


Trump blamed Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the wildfire crisis – claiming in a social media post that Newsom “refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way.”

Facts First: This is false. Newsom has never refused to sign a “water restoration declaration.” In fact, there is no such document, as Newsom’s office said on social media on Wednesday and experts on California water policy confirmed.

“There was no ‘water restoration declaration’ for him to sign,” Jeffrey Mount, a senior fellow in the Water Policy Center at the Public Policy Institute of California think tank, said in a Wednesday interview.

Threads like this show how the majority of Trump supporters are just little kids who love shit talking.

YEAH DEDDY TRUMP, GIT THE DEMS, GET THE LIBARDS, GET SLEEP JOE

USUALLY in times of crisis you offer condolences and support, not more shit talking. Dumb fucks, all of you.

So your solution is literally thoughts and prayers

Yeah that'll stop the tragedy from reoccurring

I saw a lot of people saying the hurricanes were man made. I haven’t heard much about these winds being man made, just that the leaves weren’t raked in the forest.

Where did you hear this? lol

You never saw those CT’s? I mean, who knows what else those people believe, but even Marjorie Taylor Greene, as hurricane Helene was bearing down on the US, was saying “they” control the weather.

Where did you hear this? lol

Marjorie Taylor Greene doubles down on weather comments after backlash

The Georgia lawmaker has a history of accusing people, without strong evidence, of using technology to start natural disasters.

Imagine this tubbalard carrying a burn victim out while lecturing them. Maybe having a laugh with the rest of the squadron about it.

No surprise this insanity is happening when you have clowns like this absolute jerk of a fire chief and that catatonic drooling moron mayor Webb in charge

This just isn't true. It could be that a single storage center with 3 million gallons was depleted, but that's nowhere near all the reserves in LA County. Not even close.
