My brother in laws house burned down. He is ok, but his family lost everything.
How do you seed "clouds" with humidity @ 5%?
It hasn't rained in what, 8 months? You cannot simply make rain. Also, women and black people aren't the problem when the tax dollars are diverted away from fire and rescue. But hey, there weren't any fires or loss of life/property when white men were in charge.
As much as we complain about rain and snow, at least we don't have to worry about wildfires.
Yes, but it’s impossible to cause heavy rain like we have in the south.
Southern Cali is a desert. The atmosphere is too dry. You can’t seed clouds without clouds. It takes an incredible amount of energy to provide that area in all layers of the atmosphere.
Plus, with the high population and the draining of all natural lakes and reservoirs, they don’t have enough moisture in the air from evaporation.
This is exactly what man-made climate change looks like. Wildfires can be natural and usually help create better soil for agricultural growth. But instead, they have built numerous structures and ruined the ecosystem that when wild fires breakout like this, there are zero natural barriers to fight it.

Oh, we do have wildfires in NC, but we also have numerous natural resources to counter them.
Which is a great thing.
but at least y'all don't have no wildfires spreading all around fast with houses catching on fire like what's going on now in CA.

I agree with you...hopefully they point out their lack of required prerequisites rather than just showing a picture as if thats good enough to show their incompetence
respect Mother nature she’s a force to be reckoned with
500M, shit he doesn't know the value of some of them homes up there.
Some of those homes can easily worth 500M apiece.
I'm guessing that the aid is for something like food and temporary shelter etc...
People still haven't learned about mother nature usually have to learn the hard way.
That's kinda normal for the Santa Ana winds from what I've come to understand. They come and go throughout a calendar year.

Fact Check: Did Los Angeles Cut Fire Department Funding by $17.6M?
Several social media users have made posts accusing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of reducing funding for the Los Angeles Fire Department in the wake of the fast-moving fires.
Fact Check: Did Los Angeles Cut Fire Department Funding by $17.6M?
Firefighters in Los Angeles are battling multiple wildfires that have forced thousands to flee their homes.
www.newsweek.com
…The proposal included $814,281,952 for the fire department—with $77,957,494 for salaries and $41,324,458 for expenses.
This amounted to a decrease of $22,909,285 since the department's funding for the 2023-2024 fiscal year was $837,191,237. The estimated expenditures for that year were more than $903 million, according to the document.
The adopted budget for the 2024-2025 fiscal year increased the amount for the fire department to $819,637,423, according to a summary on the city administrative officer's website. That meant the department's funding saw a decrease of $17,553,814, rather than almost $23 million.
Bass signed the budget in June.
Her office noted that the budget funds the hiring of firefighters and continues the Emergency Appointment Paramedic Program since the majority of calls to the fire department are related to medical emergencies.
"This budget serves as a reset, in part by continuing to hire for critical positions including police officers and firefighters while eliminating some of the department's vacant positions, thereby prioritizing our City family over empty desks," she said in a statement at the time….

Of course bitchass Republicans would try and use this to blame DEI. 17mil from a budget of 800mil is barely nothing. These the same muthafuckas that deny climate change though...Fact Check: Did Los Angeles Cut Fire Department Funding by $17.6M?
