The firefighting in the Los Angeles area continues with a moderate respite in the Santa Anna winds. However, the death toll continues to rise.
(The Guardian) The death toll from the Eaton and Palisades fires that have consumed large swathes of Los Angeles county – and are still less than 30% contained – has risen to 24, according to medical examiners.
The county of Los Angeles medical examiner published a list of fatalities without giving details of any identities. Eight of the dead were found in the Palisades fire zone, and 16 in the Eaton fire zone, the document said.
Officials in California warned on Sunday that strengthening winds in the coming days threatened to expand the destruction through the city that has already seen many neighborhoods erased. More than 1,800 total structures had been destroyed by the two fires with upwards of 10,000 damaged.
Three wildfires were still burning Sunday in Los Angeles county, where more than 150,000 people remained under an evacuation warning. Firefighters said shifting Santa Ana winds could blow the Palisades fire, which has razed almost 24,000 acres, back on itself towards the coast.
At a news conference on Sunday afternoon, officials said more than 4,700 personnel were assigned to stopping the blazes from spreading as winds are forecast to pick up again from tonight through Wednesday. (read more)
We’ve all seen V’s of geese migrating north & south. At the point of that V pattern is the leader, and the geese rotate this duty among each other as they migrate. So whoever’s on point has to guide the flock through that section of the migration. If he gets it wrong, it could mean suffering and death for all of them, so it’s a serious responsibility. If he screws it up badly enough, the rest of the flock may kill him for it.
Then you look at California. Dozens are dead, that we know of. Yet the politicians continue smiling and winking.
File this under, “Too outrageous to be true, but it sure wouldn’t surprise me..”

Wow. Just Fing Wow
Besides P Trump, who has been doggedly warning Newsom and the L.A. mayor about how volatile the environment is to rapid fire destruction especially with insufficient fire fighting response. Were any employed by the city or state and then ignored. There must have been some forest experts in L.A. that saw the reality of what could happen. Did they all remain silent so they wouldn’t be accused of supporting Trump’s advice.
Whatever the answer is, L.A. has become an incompetent 3rd world city in many ways. It was inevitable with wokeism, DEI, anti Trumpism and so on.

“Joe Biden’s administration has offered a mere $770 in “one-time payments” to individuals devastated by the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles…”
Frickin’ unbelievable, some of those homes were worth millions. $770 is a tiny weeny drop in the bucket, they need food, housing, household goods, clothes, etc etc. Wow, $20 more than people in NC & TN.
The Olympics will be just dandy….
