A disaster on so many levels.

These fires are no joke! I live in San Diego in a townhouse directly on a canyon. It's a tinderbox waiting to explode. The HOA's insurance dropped coverage on 135 units in our complex. I'm buying insurance individually to protect my home until the HOA get's its sh!t together. So much for the association fees I pay. I know people in LA who've lost their homes and everything in them. Fires are more of a threat than any earthquake IMO. Homeless people living in these open canyons are starting campfires to stay warm and cook food at night. Gov. Newscum is a joke and should have been spending money to clean up these fire hazards and move homeless people away from these areas. Piss poor government in LA also defunded the fire department by $17 million. Newscum is spending $100 billion on highspeed rail that will service no one! Don't get me started on water management. California politicians are a woke joke. Newscum's term is over in 2026 & he terms out. Hopefully the population will wake up and vote in another Ronnie Reagan to turn things around. The only good to come from this is people will see how poorly Newscum managed the state & he will not be on the presidential ballot come 2028.

Games mean nothing in the grand perspective.

It's hard to believe that some of these fire hydrants were either completely dry or had very low water pressure.

I feel bad for the fire fighters, too; they are doing all they can do and they are undermanned and working extremely long shifts (sometimes 24-48 hours).

Left San Diego over 30 years ago over water and price of real estate concerns. Probably best move I've ever made

I hate to break it to you, but the way the climate is trending, much of the SW United States will become more and more uninhabitable in the next 30-50 years. Lack and water being the main concern, but the constant threat of wildfires because people keep building up in the mountains. People definitely pay a price for having great weather year round.

No, there is no climate change. The orange man's MAGA cult says so. End of story. Or end of civilization. Both, I guess.

DT will be the hero though by annexing Canada, invading Greenland and the Panama Canal, ending the National Weather Service, deporting millions, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico after himself. After all, he did discover it . . . on a fourth-grader's map the other day.

Scientists--those quacks--having been warning of climate change and the water crisis for at least half a century. But Ronnie Reagan, George HW Bush, George W. Bush, and the MAGA man did nothing. And here we are. But probably not for much longer.

There's plenty of water in CA. The Sierra's have so much snow to fill reservoirs, but our great gov. Newscum let's 95% of it flow right into the Pacific ocean.

If you would have owned real estate here 30 years ago & held, you'd be a very wealthy man today.

Iowa is still scheduled to play in LA Tuesday and Friday.

The release that follows indicates that it was Northwestern's decision to not travel to LA.

Iowa, for now, is scheduled to fly out Sunday (per Fran).
