(The) Hellscape Armageddon Inferno Thread

Knowing so many probably didn’t have fire insurance, which hedge fund is gonna buy up all the land for Pennies on the dollar?

 

Heartbreaking

 

Several - but you can always count on Blackstone to circle the wagons.

 

I’ve been watching too many Arvin Haddad videos on YouTube lately. Gonna have a bunch of new content in the coming years

 

Christ

 

Looks like a cat 5 came through

 

Eaton ? One of my wife’s best friends old house in LA before she moved to Indy is dust. Wild stuff

 

Bunch of local news streams here https://thedesk.net/live/

 

Jesus

 

That might be the Pacific Palisades Bowl Mobile Estates neighborhood.

 

I fucking hate all of the ghouls pushing extreme, right wing bullshit and misinformation re: these fires. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous and makes me so goddam mad.

I don't want to derail this thread but I've dealt with it at work and I'm fucking tired of it.

I hope everyone here is safe

 

At least 5 deceased now from Eaton - I don't remember the exact metric but the fire moved absurdly fast.

 

A Song of Ice and Fire is actually about the US this week

 

Hollywood Hills is extremely tough to navigate too, lots of narrow winding roads

 

The new one is pretty close to me. Literally managed to get one on the NW, NE and now direct North.

 

Yea Hills roads you're one accident or poorly parked car away from being stranded.

 

reminds me of the 2017 Napa fires and the coffee park neighborhood

 

Lived on Berry Drive in Studio City Hills for a few years, can't imagine getting out easily in a situation like this

 

The non-existent cell reception when trying to get down is always a blast as well.

 

Downed power lines from the winds the culprit for starting these things?

 

often is - our power infrastructure is outdated as hell.

one of our recent big ones was flat out arson - so never rule anything out.

 

A lot of times it’s a homeless encampment

 

I lived there before cell phones but yeah

 

That's what happened when the freeway viaduct was all fucked up, right?

 

Yes, that was a shitshow where wind was a factor and that was with like 15-20 mph winds.

 

Any Steve Gutenberg updates ?

 

only put it on CNN to see if they had live coverage of this and they still had the First Take format playing the blame game and debating Trump’s comments with ‘both sides’. This country sucks so much

 

I've been streaming KTLA for the last two days, pretty good coverage

 

Also their insistence on covering which celebrities have been impacted instead of providing, idk, news about the fires.

First four articles - go fuck yourself:

 

Guttenberg was actually doing good work yesterday trying to clear Palisades Drive for first responders

 

This is a very good app (watch duty). Pulls in data from all of the official sources. Article about it: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/los-angeles-fires-watch-duty-app-updates-rcna186782

 

That's accurate which is part of why he's beloved - but come the fuck on, your top 4 articles are all related to celebrities or your own staff.

 

Real shame if more people w his attitudes make out ok than decent people

 

What a lad

 

only positive of this was a reason to watch Olga (and apparently Dani Ruberti) again

and that some americans realize masks are apparently not woke in fires

 

Yes, Watchduty is good app for folks to have that live in western states.

 

Welp - just got my first notification that I'm now in a recommended evacuation area which means they haven't remotely contained the hills fire.

 

Are you a wildland firefighter?

 

He stocked up on the firefighter gear LAFD sold on facebook marketplace and dabbles - let him live his life The Banks

We'll take all the halp we can get
