January 8Jan 8 Every year of 2020's has been a giant shitshow. This year is starting off with a giant middle finger. At this rate, we'll be lucky to see 2030. Edited January 8Jan 8 by crash_davis
January 8Jan 8 Probably too soon, but I can't stop thinking about how fucked any property owner is for insurance in California. This is unreal.

Watching the news about 20 minutes ago, showed a lady spraying her house down in Altadena to try to avoid the house on fire next door spreading to her house. She got the hell out when the 50 foot pine tree in her back yard totally blew up in flames.

January 8Jan 8 Watching the press conference of LA City and County officials right now and the Sheriff just warned against looting

January 8Jan 8 This is absolutely terrifying. Is the local medical infrastucture sufficient to deal with what appears to be a very large number of injuries?
January 8Jan 8 Private firefighters? How would that work? “Hey Chief! We just got a call from someone willing to pay top dollar! Should we start pulling the hoses and head over there?” Edited January 8Jan 8 by HornPhD Adding color
January 8Jan 8 You guys can go ahead and delete those posts about looting. It was stated above I am evil for thinking about those things and the good people of LA would never loot/rob. 1 minute ago, HornPhD said: Private firefighters? How would that work? Up above @Brisketexan said he pisses a lot. Send him and about 10 kegs of beer.
January 8Jan 8 1 minute ago, HornPhD said: Private firefighters? How would that work? Kim Kardashian hired a private firefighter team when there was a blaze last year. I guess you hire people from outside of LA or from Northern California who have experience fighting wildfires.

That situation seems like it would be planned in advance. Not something you want to start inquiring about when the building next door is on fire. Who gets priority access to the hydrants in residential neighborhoods?
January 8Jan 8 from my post Katrina experience, jumping on a rental before prices go up is a great idea that you should share with any of your neighbors who’s homes did not make it.

This is the shit that scares me about living in central Texas because it’s coming and I know we’re not ready.

All those houses going up in the cedar forests and along ravines are safe. We go the highland lakes. Oh wait.

January 8Jan 8 3 minutes ago, Rip76 said: Is there seriously no (or very little) hydrant water in LA? In the press conference, it sounded like they said some water tanks in Palisades went dry overnight due to the firefighters relying on municipal water supplies. They were then later able to push water through a different trunk line. Don't quote me on that.
