I feel sorry for those people…. Don’t ever say you’ll never be homeless…. The ones I don’t feel bad for are the a****** trumpers that are climate change deniers
Bidens fault
Only God help you out ❤
Give the honor and glory to whom it is due… Almighty God.,
did he hold the hose to the blaze… no.
Then why did he let this happen?.
God bless you all ❤❤❤
I think God doesn’t like most of the people then.
California voters voted for this 😢 Have no clue why but they did 😢
Voted for what? Your comment don’t make a lick of sense.
@@scdelugeI guess they control the weather?
@scdeluge They elected bad leaders that made the really bad decisions to make this possible 🤔
Voted for what? Incel
🤡
Impeach the politicians
Newsom does this and expects you to vote 4 him for president 🤪
You’re a fool 🤪
Impeach trump already. Let’s go!
A republican set this fire i bet
Drain the swamp. 🇺🇲
I will NEVER understand how people can stand there among the destruction of a natural disaster and claim “praise JEEBUS our house was saved” while thousands of others lost EVERYTHING due to the disaster that JEEBUS LET HAPPEN!?!?!?!?
You don’t understand religion. But you don’t understand, after using a garden hose to battle lethal walls of flames, that they’d be grateful they managed to save their home?
@knblibra what YOU don’t understand is if it was such a BLESSING, the horrible events wouldn’t even happen!!
@hunglikeahorse—fly that’s a disingenuous argument. Your argument is one of “Is VS ought. We live in the real world, the world of IS. Life IS painful and full of suffering. That is because of the original sin and the devil. God is the salvation at the end of suffering. God is the hope and strength that gets you through suffering.
@knblibra that’s a disingenuous religion!!! And yeah we live in the REAL WORLD…. the reality that without MAN, religion is nothing!!
If your god is all-powerful… then he LET’S the bad things happen.
If he LET’S the bad things happen, he is as immoral as us humans are!!
❤❤❤
There was no water in the water hydrants, insurance dropped everyone right before the fires.
I have family and friends in LA, and I’m praying for them.
This has been repeated numerous times.
Karen Bass had JUST cut almost $20 million from fire dept. 🤬
@@toroverde9329 Its not true. Insurance has been flying drones and dropping you based on drone footage for years.
Hey, genius. Do you not understand that this is not a political issue? Please point me to the municipal water system that can effectively supply enough water to eradicate flames in 10,000 burning structures in 100-mph winds with NO air support. None. That system doesn’t exist.
You were not here. You have no concept of the strength of those winds. I’m a native Angeleno & have never EVER seen Santa Ana’s like that. Aircraft couldn’t fly in those conditions. It is simply impossible to supply adequate water pressure to that many hydrants simultaneously.
And Malibu/Palisades has a very unique system of pressure based on gravity. Simple physics and demand makes it impossible to supply that amount to that many locations simultaneously.
Municipal water systems aren’t designed to fight wildfire. The cost to equip municipalities to survive a 100-yr event like this would be prohibitive. And the tax payer doesn’t like funding infrastructure they never see and will likely never use.
STOP BLAMING this tragedy on the Governor, the Mayor, the Democrats, etc.
My entire neighborhood is gone. Altadena is/was a very special community full of hardworking people. Stop trying to play politics with others’ tragedy. We won’t be used for your propaganda. It infuriates me to see these lies being spread.
This is heartbreaking enough. You’re not part of this nightmare, we don’t need you speaking for us, especially when so woefully uninformed on the basics of municipal water systems, civil engineering and simple physics.
@@jasonjones759There could’ve been 200 fire trucks and that wouldn’t matter. 100-mph winds with 10k structures burning and no air support is physically impossible.
There’s not a municipal water system on this planet that could handle that pressure load. Please point me to your system design/battle plan that would have magically produced enough municipal water pressure for this massive fire fight while also supplying millions with potable water. It’s physically possible, technically but no bond measure would ever pass requesting the astronomical price tag required to achieve this readiness for an event of this magnitude. Infrastructural isn’t designed to withstand 100-yr events. Get your facts straight and stop the blame.
Don’t understand municipal water systems? Don’t understand the intricacies of civil and infrastructural design and engineering? Keep your nonsense propaganda to yourself. We’re in enough pain without our tragedy being used to fuel this propaganda.
Why are you thanking a “god” that burned your house down?
Stop voting for Democrats!!! They Do Not Care About YOU!!!
I bet a republican set this fire
Dope for you guys for keeping the last guy in GOD BLESS EVERYONE
1 house saved i guess that’s a victory, to you.
Bitumen roof, Well done .
God didn’t care whose house burns
My heart bleeds for you all god bless help with these people you the only one who can do this amene❤❤❤❤❤
How are insurance companies getting away with dropping people right before crises happens 😅
@opallapis7347 because they dropped coverage due to GOVERNMENT policies. And no one knew when the crisis would happen, but everyone knew that it WOULD happen. CA government didn’t prepare for this at all, knowing full well the risks. They didn’t negotiate with the insurance companies, who needed to raise rates due to increased costs. The government said, “either give ppl insurance rates that guarantee you go into bankruptcy, or don’t give them insurance at all.” The insurance companies chose not at all.
The same reason why they cut the CFD budget by close to 18 million.. Tie up loose ends 🧐.. connect the dots
They didn’t drop them “right” before. It’s been done slowly over years. Look up insurance drones in california.
@@knblibra Nothing but lies insurance companies have declined homeowners because they decided it was too risky to insure homes in fire prown areas which has nothing to do with the CA government.
The federal government deregulated insurance during the first Trump administration, leaving all oversight up to the states. California responded by limiting companies ability to perform risk assessment and raise premiums concurrent to the increasing risk. Insurance companies responded by either leaving the state entirely or significantly increasing criteria for coverage. 60+% of Pacific Palisades was dropped from coverage within the last year.
Thank you for this wonderful testimony and the miracles. Your faith in GOD didn’t let you stand ashamed.GOD send angels to assist you and the LA fire fighters.
Why are they news reporters dressed as firemen hmmmm. I understand safety measures but this is truly strange imo
The jacket is protecting them they’re not dressing like firemen
Imbeciles still believe in a god. There is no end to human stupidity is there.
You stood up and fought the fire and think your neighbors helped and God
I hope these folks come out of this safe.
Its all part of the plan
Higher Power? His Name is Jesus 🙏❤️🙏
All that smoke they’re inhaling can’t be good.
How did the insurance companies know weeks before to drop everyone????????
Never hesitate to thank God!
Why would a higher power help him and no one else? What a weird way to look at the world
They dont have water?? These people don’t have wells???
Thank newsom and the terrible mayor that cut the fire dept 20 million 👍
Gods judgment
First time I’ve heard people thanking God and thats nice
May God bless all effected by the 🔥🙏
You get what you vote for
Oh now California wa ts to acknowledge God. Hope it lasts maybe then your state will stop burning every single yr.
Amen! Jesus is Lord!
Thank you for acknowledging God God is the one that took care of you😊
