#Wildfire #Louisiana #Weather
Why we can’t have nice things, climate change will be the end of a lot of comfort.
Over 100 years of ManKind meddling with Mother Nature. Dammed up rivers, drained swamps.
The elites cant be too worried about climate change with all these mysterious fires 🤔
The Earth is experiencing a fever, trying to shake the human virus.
That’s why you can’t mock or rejoice when people face adversities. People mocked New Orleans and they have been scrambling ever since.
Modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. Had your pride parades, now watch America burn.
They are just gonna burn the entire country down.
Now you can clearly see the difference in a Network journalist and a local bayou journalist. Major differences
When will we realize this is arsonist
It looks more and more like Trump will be the next President.
Nope. No global warming here.
Hopefully this tropical system will help stop drought conditions
You know what this says to me this isn’t a drought they’re using the draw as an excuse they burn this on purpose to get you to stop talking about the Maui fires that they set on purpose as a land grab. (OPRA) THIS WAS SET ON PURPOSE TO DISTRACT YOU SO THE YOU WILL LOOK OVER THERE NOT OVER THERE THEY DID IT AS A LAND-GRAB WE ALL KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON THIS IS TOTAL B******* I DON’T BELIEVE ANY OF
Another orchestrated drama…so sad.
It’s almost like climate change is real
Climate change and its consequences is all fake news.
Just ask Trump and any maga cultist.
That’s what they will tell you.
Don’t tell the Conservatives about this because I’m sure they’ll say it’s all a big coincidence.
THEY ARE LUCKY THEY HAVE A SHELTER TO GO TO , MOST ARE FULL OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS..
Signs of the times.
everyone says that every little thing is a ‘sign of the times’ but it’s only bcs ever since social media came out, they hear more stuff happening than they used to, when nothing really changed 😂 i live in Louisiana and I’m literally just chilling here there is no fire whatsoever atleast in my area. people have been saying it’s the end of the world for centuries, honestly forget pointing every little thing out and focus on sharing the gospel instead, believers keep getting too caught up in when the world will end to the point they forget why we are even created, just share the gospel, God has His own timing.
More climate change arson.
😔
Sending prayers for everyone
🙏
This nation has got to repent.. Keeping everyone here in Louisiana in our prayers 🙏🏽, us included, we are a few hours away from Derrider, but less than a hour from Forest Hill 💔
Where is the tooth fairy when she’s needed?
@Paul McManusGiving out quarters under kid’s pillows.
All by design. You will own nothing and you will be happy. IYKYK.
Billionaires/shadow government using their laser weapons in space again to displace and depopulate. There are more of us than them. Arise.
Done on purpose
Is anyone else starting to see a pattern around the world? I think we have a cluster of climate extremist fire bugs setting fires to make everyone into climate alarmists. The fires start at very convenient times with no explanation of how they started for most of the fires.
Yes, climate activists waved their hands and created major drought.
To believe your conspiracy theory, you just have to be ignorant of that fact that fires have always started naturally in the wild.
What’s a convenient time for fires? Fires happen in summer.
Natchitoches is my home prayer
How many people see these things and think these things are normal.
I been living here in Louisiana for 30 years and have never heard of wildfires here. And some people still don’t want to believe in climate change it has been unbelievably hot and it’s been a while since we had rain. That’s unheard of here cause we’re use to constant rain
Not climate change….read Revelation 8:7
Louisiana literally gets almost 1000 wild fires per year. Just because you live under a rock and don’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. To think that any part of this planet doesn’t get fires is moronic.
What can you say, climate change deniers love to say “it’s summer, it’s always been hot” while disregard how hot and how dry it has gotten
They WANT you to believe it’s climate change. Please open your eyes to the bigger picture!
Hey Northern journalists: Its pronounced Da -Rid -Er ( not Da Ride Er)
Deridder= [ Da Rid – Er] … you’re welcome journalist!
{You’re Welcome on the pronunciation accuracy.}
Mother Nature at work taking back what rightfully belongs to her.
Agenda 2030
More global warming propaganda 🤷♀️ yeah well it has been so hot and dry 🤣🤣🤣 weather history always repeats itself, always….
Suspicious fires 🔥 everywhere
Kinda strange this crazy event is happening in my home town 😢
Thank a Republican for the fires.
Thank God, the Corexit 9500 is finally burning off!
Film the sky!!!
Jesus christ who knows what’s going to come out of those woods.
done on purpose
As the republicans avoid the signs and science .
GOOD!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 HALLELUJAH!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😁😁😁😁😉😉😉😉😆😆😆😆📕📕📕📕📖📖📖📖
What in the world?!😲
Jesus said this was coming. The earth shall burn with ferverent heat. Read John 3.3. You must be born again, which means put your faith in Jesus, and he will give you the Holy spirit, NOW, you want to REPENT!!!! Call on him now, time is short.
They still say global warming is fictional and fake. You about yo start listening.
We usually have a storm a week if not more during summer, Haven’t seen Rain but one time so far since July where i’m at, its just too dry. Have a storm coming in the morning but its not going to help much or last but a few hours and hoping lightning doesn’t strike and catch something on fire closer to home. Already have one that started Yesterday about 50 miles away from here, scary stuff!
Government is working OT with all these fires 🧐
This is a planet take-down. Team Dark can’t flip the poles, so burn, baby, burn. Our sun is dying. This began in 2003. Trust in the heart core of your life, and love the people who love you.
just keep pumping the gas and oil, that’ll fix the problem! wow, what is prescilla on?
Global warming isn’t a joke.. 😢😢😢😢😊😊
Hawaii, humm, government fires..
I feel like we’re under attack
There’s no such thing as CLIMATE CHANGE…….said every republican they care about oil & gas donations MORE than YOU CONSTITUENTS. THATS A BIG F U TO THEIR VOTERS.
Some kind of systems should be developed to protect people lives and their properties from all kinds of fires. One of the possible system is a number of sprinklers installed around the properties and connected to a system of water tanks and pumps. The sprinklers can be activated remotely when needed. A microcomputer can also be attached to the pump that activates it when it reaches a certain degree of temperature.
😮
🔺God hates humans 😂😂
God is Love! ❤
Witches cackle as fires crackle…how bout a Lil fire.?..ScareCrow
There was a forest fire in Kentwood on highway 55 yesterday due to a lightning strike
Wow its like someone is manipulating the weather
The whole. Freaking world is catching on 🔥 fire…GOD BLESS ALL EFFECTED BY THIS TRAGIC EVENT 😥 BEST WISHES 👌
Fires happen in summer. Crazy.
It’s time to admit it, America is burning down. Time to turn to our Maker. If you know, you know🚶🏾♂️
Intentionally started I would imagine
Your imagination is indeed erroneous! 😢
Why all the fires? kinda like a premeditated murder…we are in a war with our own gov that is helping WEFs bring in the great reset. They do plan on owning 80% of the land wildland projects..
Better keep your area wet, maybe even a blue roof it helped those rich guys in hawaii never know
A few more fire filled super hot summers like this and Republicans will start to go green. And the benefit will include cleaner waters, more fishing, more woodlands and green spaces for camping and enjoying nature, cleaner air, and better lives with less cancer and other illnesses.
And yet the stupid people still deny climate change exist.
Louisiana is flooding from sea level rise yet it is burning? I don’t buy it.
Revelation 8:7 ……. one third of the earth, trees and grass will BURN
It’s difficult to feel the least bit sorry for Red states burning, etc. when they are filled with the very voters who’ve continuously elected science deniers since we were first told of the coming dangers of climate change in the 1980s… and now here we are 40 years later living what we were warned about. These same people refuse en masse to embrace greener energy alternatives and vote in people tied to oil and coal.
The Most High is making His presence known. Judgement is upon the world. APTTMHY!
It’s gonna be great watching the BLAXX get what they asked for
I wonder if the same space lasers that set Hawaii on fire were used here too.
Looks intentional
I wonder who set them? Global Warming began the climate scare, until the sea levels didn’t rise. Then Climate Change was used, until the dummies realized the climate always changes. Now someone is using fire, to spread the climate change scare. Now, we are going to be taxed on fire which is deliberately set, to further a fake agenda to get your money. And a lot of it.
To give you an idea of how they are pushing these wildfires, they are now listed on Google Maps. This is the first year ever that fires are on Google Maps. Just like with covid, it’s easy to tell when they are trying to use something to manipulate you.
Good more money to ukraine
Wildfires in Louisiana now? Thats insane, I lived there a couple decades ago and it was the most humid muggy wet place I have ever been. Soon the whole world is gonna be on fire.
That one place you lived was exactly how the rest of the state was. You lived in the entire state. You also missed the 800+ wild fires per year when you lived there.
after Maui Hawai , Louisiana is the next forest fire😢
Wth is going on
Yep best place to move to Russia. Examine their weather and noticed they don’t have all the problems America has. And won’t have those problems for decades to come
Arson
Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn’t care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness…
God does judge sin which is evil and if people don’t stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn’t mean He doesn’t love, it doesn’t mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn’t stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that’s sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don’t live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God’s wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God’s wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God’s wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God’s wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God’s wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua’s name 💕
Praise God thank You Yeshua
🙏
Arsonist
Bro why do people think this earth is going to get any better? This planet is fked. Thank God too.
NBC pushing that BS climate change narrative, when it’s really these sick so called “enviromentalists” causing these fires.
JON BEL that is a LIE. It was over 44 days of over 100 degrees back in the 30’s. Stop lying
Wildfires my @$$!!! This is arson.
Another land grab , by bill gates and Oprah winfrey 🤔
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that ” you only need a good job to become rich”. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don’t even know exists.
@Thomas AliThanks. I just searched her up and I’m super impressed with her qualifications, have contacted her through her Facebook page to know how I can start investing immediately…
Wow! I’m just shock you mentioned and recommended Mrs Beatrice O Wendy. I thought only few benefit from her services, I’m honestly surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony last month in CNBC news video.
@Bart JonesWell, you are saying the fact. My first investment with “Beatrice O Wendy” earned me $8000 profit.
One good stuff about women that trade stocks and forex they don’t dample with money taking a great account precautions and applying great risk management skill.
“This hot, this dry, this long” what a BS global warming propaganda of globalists, NWO agenda. All these fires all over the world are started on purpose by psychopaths to first destroy an area to get people off their land, steal their land, proclaim that land hazardous and off limits to people in order to force people into smart 15 min cities and establish “green” reclamation zones that would be off limit to people in accordance with agenda 2030 and the NWO sustainable development plan.
Climate change deniers – “it’s summer, it’s the south, it’s always been hot.”
“This is not human caused climate change, just a earth’s natural cycle, man cannot do anything to stop it”
This is another “Maui” situation. Smart cities incoming!
Why is no one ever seen these conditions!!??? Because was created !!
