America has been pushed into thinking that families shouldn't stay together. That it's okay to send your kids to boarding school, college 2000 miles away, and kick them out when they're 18. We're been brainwashed by the boob tube and Hollywood movies to think we have to be "self-sufficient" and living with your parents as an adult is lame and you're a loser if you do so. NONE of that hold true in non-wh1te countries. They've just been pushing this on wh1te nations to try to destroy us. The pushers of this horrific BS nonsense are the same ones that run the banks & own the media as well as Hollywood. THey wear tiny, round hats & rock back & forth while worshipping satan!

After losing my Dad when I was a kid to cancer, my Mom has always said “As long as I don’t hear the word “terminal” I can handle anything”. It has always helped put the worst moments in life in perspective. I’m so sad for everyone who has lost every-“thing”, but thank God they didn’t lose every-one. 🙏🏽
In 2016 I lost my mum - misdiagnosed at the hospital and they caused her death. She taught us value in family and our pets, not in posessions. Having lived around the world and evacuated for hurricanes and fires I understand the emotional toll. One of the houses we lived in was condemned so we had to move neighborhoods. In one of the countries we moved to, a shipping container that had everything in it was stolen, our entire family had everything in there, keepsakes, furniture, everything to live all gone. When you lose everything, you learn to appreciate even the tiniest of things. Back then I had a small suitcase of clothes but nothing more. I tried to understand how people could be so horrible and take everything we had. So it angers me when I hear about looters and hope the government makes an example of them, they should face a long jail sentence.
I agree. If we have our loved ones we can face the struggles. Over 25 people have died in this fire, those people were special and loved, each of them.

That is such BS that the insurance companies just started cancelling coverages when it started getting hot. These folks probably already paid THOUSANDS of dollars into those policies - only to get cancelled when they needed it the most. That should be illegal. My heart goes out to all of these people!
That’s not what happened. And it’s not hot. The companies did a cost base analysis. They recognized that newsom and the environmental agencies aren’t allowing for proper management. They were cutting funding. They wouldn’t bury power lines. They left a main reservoir dry for a year. They knew this was coming yet they did not prepare at all. Complete negligence. The insurance companies, to avoid financial ruin, took away the coverage. It was a ticking time bomb and they knew that, and acted accordingly. If only newsom had. And the rest of the DEI fires that are in charge. Bunch of useless far left activist idiots. Not enough water. Not enough firemen. Terrible leadership. And so on.

My hometown. It really was a lovely community. Back in the day everyone knew everyone. Backyard barbecues, days on the beach...It's heartbreaking to see all the landmarks of my youth wiped out.
Devastating for these people who have lost so much. Just because we comment here doesn't mean we don't care or comment on many other life changing disasters all around the World and help when we can.
Last update as of this writing is 16000 structures damaged, 24 confirmed dead, USD52B worth of damages. Only 1 is contained 100%, many people are still missing and many structures are still under threat by current and new fires. Arrests have been made of looters and people who are starting fires (yes!).
Shocking to see how the houses are more combustible than the trees and gardens around them. The interview talks about the entire landscape being changed. If you look at the Paradise Campfire area in LA that had the massive 2018 fire that area never recovered. It's mostly now just vacant blocks of land with only a driveway to every prove a house was once there
That is so sad… I had a dear friend from college that lived in Paradise. I tried to get in touch with him a few years ago, but didn’t have any luck. I’m pretty sure all I had was his parents landline phone number which I’m sure is no longer in service if they moved far away. The reason why the trees stand is because they were being watered by nearby sprinklers, so they had plenty of water in them. The ones that burned were the ones that were dried up and weren’t being watered.
Direct energy weapon ( microwave) doesn’t affect organic matter, that’s why the foliage is fine and it also does not melt plastic or anything blue but it does melt tubs and toilets and glass out of home and cars. Regular forest fires do not do that. Agenda 2030. WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM SAYS “ you will own nothing and be happy” Gavin is a young global leader g global leader from world economic forum, no wonder he’s smiling.
@@MostCommentsOnRUclipsAreAiBOTS I am sorry that you weren't able to connect with your friend. Perhas signing up with Been verified or other "people finders" would help. However, your assessment regarding trees is contested by Robert Brame, a man with four decades of experience as an arborist. For one thing, trees that carry a heavy load of water can still burn - they burn from the inside out. Also the steep prices people pay to the water utility companies mean that many of us Californians rarely water our trees. 20 years ago, it was normal to have autumn rains start by mid September. In 2018, in Paradise, there had been little rain since the prior spring - some 7 months earlier. It really means something that such dry trees did not burn up even when next to houses turned to dust.
@@marymahar8446 Very true. Many families who have lived in the Palisades are generational. Their grandparents built early on then their parents inherited and now the current folks, their children. Pacific Palisades was a beautiful little city with beautiful views, solid community and safe all around. I am very sad to see just how devastating the winds and the fires have been. I am born and raised here in SoCal and have never, ever seen anything like these horrible fires.
@@heather6668 u aint taking stuff or money to the grave but u are answerable for ur relationships infront of almight allah better learn before its too late its a temporary world
@@heather6668 Gibson's net worth is over $400 million though, easy for him to say a $15 million house and possessions is nothing. So the rich ones are fine and hopefully most of the others had homeowners insurance and eventually they'll be fine. Also 25 people died, well RIP to all the real victims.
@@metalmike570 Yes the dead are more important than anything anyone lost. Gibson may be worth that but those who are not directors, producers or get a percentage of the box office are not worth that kind of money. Yes you can rebuild if you have enough but it's not just about rebuilding and money. Thankfully, many of those richer people will also help the others who cannot afford to do so.
I left LA years ago. Pretty much the only reason was the heat. I just couldn't take year round summer. I just got back from visiting family two weeks ago and it was 78 degrees.. in the winter. It never rains. Just seems to be an odd place for millions of people.
We get lots of burned out LA transplants in the county next door (Ventura) I'm betting some will flee to Thousand Oaks & Agoura, where on earth do you put 200K displaced people that are evacuated right now? The firefighters take up all of the hotel rooms, where do people go? BTW, it's the local govt that manages water supply and we had flooding rains the year before so they felt confident in repairing those reservoirs (you can't ignore repairs or you have an Oroville burst Dam situation during atmospheric rivers) but that was a bridge too far for our infamous Santa Ana winds. I was in a fire in 2018, joining Cal Fires community program has helped along with mitigation efforts that these folks weren't required to make (clearing brush 200 ft from all dwellings, etc) due to their affluence. We are not allowed to waste water on lawns and landscaping but these folks don't have that requirement thanks to their wealth so this needs to be dealt with (water limits on the upper crust or we suffer the consequences) and that includes golf courses and other nonsense that wastes a valuable, limited resource like water.
We are not supposed to put our hope and security on things of this world. Yes, you earned, worked, home, yet, this world will pass away, but the word of the Lord Remains. Thank God you all are safe and alive. God is in control..
That comment at 6:05 is so sweet about his boys. He's grounded even though his home is decimated. Lots of love to everyone who has been impacted in the fires
I'm so sorry Jay, I'm heartbroken for you. I'm from LA but am also an expat living in the UK for 14 years now. Watching my hometown burn to the ground is excruciating. I wish you all the best.
I go back tomorrow morning to see if my parents house is still standing. I was there Tuesday to rescue their cats which I brought back to my house. Even if the house is still standing, so much will change, it will never be the same. None of this had to happen. I can't tell you the amount of times my parents have called about homeless people starting bonfires in the canyon.
They are not wild fires arsonists have been arrested and let go. I am not sure why some people are calling it wild fires and the fire insurance was canceled before the fires and there was no water n the reservoir for a year and New some is now in talks with real estate agents to make apartments and 15 minute cities why doesnt everyone know that?
i literally read some comments about how homeless ppl start fires and a lady commented tht no one notices or cared but she tried to stop the fire somewhere infront of a building in new york where a lady was set on fire in the subwayy
@@AenaMustafaBBA262-e5o can you believe idiots did fireworks in the palisades bush area on NYE which started a fire, which they believe flared up and started this?? How absolutely moronic do you have to be to not know that the drought ridden land was just waiting for that spark!
Actually, you don't want your house to be standing in these scenarios. I learned this from the Fort McMurray fire in 2016. Insurance paid only for homes burned down, but homes that were intact were still damaged, and needed to be renovated on the owner's cost.
5:00 I would be TOO salty looking across and seeing the other places fully intact. So now not only can he not get insured, he has to continue to pay mortgage on the land that doesn't lose any value ALONG with paying for a new place.
If god was good or even sane these natural disasters wouldn't happen in the first place. Innocent children wouldn't starve, suffer, get killed. People wouldn't have their lives destroyed out of nowhere. Animals wouldn't be dealt unimaginable cruelties. If there is a god, it is one evil and sadistic god who gets pleasure out of making creatures suffer. God idn't good to say nothing of merciful
I have to give a shout out to Hilton Hotels/Amex and airB&B who have donated 20 thousand rooms for people who have lost their homes. Larger employers are reimbursing any emergency lodging the employee has to purchase. Palisades as I remember it was the most 'neighborhoody' place I ever visited in California. You had neighbors, kids playing on the street. Yes, wealthy area, but homes are homes. This man and what he lost is an example, they are not sticks and bricks, they are places that people have made memories, stored memories, give you something good to return to at the end of the day. the safety was wiped out. May those insurance companies be destroyed, the disgusting greedy management staff must be prosecuted.
😢 sorry jay and everyone affected! We welcome you to canada our dears this is really traumatizing! On positive side we are happy that you are a live and kids are okey. Warm hugs from Canada 🇨🇦 Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bon voyage to australia or 🇨🇦 if wish to come We love you all 🇨🇦 canada
@@otggoddess2415 Sure. Because every major world event, human suffering, and catastrophe are planned by the elites/insurance companies, right? 😉 Seriously, take some time to learn more about the sheer scope of the fires. Reflect on your thoughts and let go of this conspiracy nonsense-it only makes you miserable and doesn’t come across as very intelligent. Yes, there are a few things fishy with the pumps. But this fire was absolutely out of control with those hurricane-like winds. If they had been able to fly and drop water consistently, it wouldn’t have been like this. Also, if there had been little to no wind, the fire would never have gotten this big. Anyhow. Lets hope the next two days won´t be like they forecasted. :/
The insurance companies cancelled insurance after the arid weather. Obviously they knew that wildfires were highly likely & did not want to pay out. So the government must have known too!
Everyone knows. It's climate change. We've been warned for decades. We've had catastrophic floods, hurricanes, droughts, and fires. More frequent and more severe. This is a direct result of human inaction.
What a racket these insurance companies are. Have you paying for insurance, and if and when you should unfortunately need them, they don't want to pay. Fking sharks.
Actually it's the local government ruining the resiviors meant for firefighting. The insurance cap that the state implemented... You can't pump water if there's no water to poop pump
My heart BREAKS for this family and everyone that lost their homes/Livelihood/EVERYTHING, in these terrible fires. I am completely shocked at the magnitude of these losses. I went through Hurricane Ian in 2022 in Fort Myers, we also lost a lot, even though our homes were damaged, we at least could "salvage" treasured items. I am SO SO sorry for every person that are, and will continue to recover from this tragedy. Sadly, it is a long long process to get through, I do hope that the help you get, doesn't "disappear" quickly?, there is NO quick fix for this. Prayers, love and support to everyone suffering.

I cannot understand how there are seemingly untouched houses next to ones that are in complete rubble, is it just wind changes? I don't live in an area that experiences any natural disasters luckily, but incase of a house fire I have a 'memories box' which has all my important and sentimental things in it, stored so I can grab it easily and go. I could never understand how it feels to lose a home but my heart breaks for everyone in this situation right now 💔
No matter what disaster … losing your home is devastating. It’s going to take them years, just the little things like, your favourite book you got for Christmas from someone special…it can be replaced but it’s not the same. Or you could be making something and think of something you need and had but don’t now. All these things trigger you, like watching this triggered me. I am so heartbroken for everyone over there, I have walked them shoes , I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. God bless you all . ❤from 🇦🇺
It's different, sweetie. Rich people can just book a hotel or own other houses in other places. But there are people who can't afford anything after this apocalyptic wildfire fire. They can't afford food, shelter or even clothes and they become completely homeless people.
@@farhiayusuf2424 Yes, they can book a hotel but many are left with nothing but what they're wearing. Even if you can replace things, it's still devastating. There are things lost that cannot be replaced no matter how much money you have.
@@farhiayusuf2424 no, it hits everyone involved hard because no matter who they are, they will all have lost things that are simply irreplaceable. That hurts all who are affected. One group may be able to recover quicker, or even over time recover but that’s why we should all be here to help one another so all can recover not sit here demonising one group because they may have more. People have lost their humanity! Look at the muppet going on about Palestine!!! Why can’t people look to help all in need instead of singling out their group as the only ones deserving?
I'm so sorry for the loss. Prayers for the LA fire victims and people in Gaza who are suffering way worse than this. Please keep the people of Gaza in your thoughts as well.
My heart goes out to every one of you. Watching this on tv was heart breaking. Truly grateful so many people didn’t perish in the fires. One life is too many who lost their lives. Fire is terrifying. I pray that this never happens again. God bless you all ❤❤❤❤
@@JRPLAWOffice True but if they've been paid for the year then they should be made to honour that. Maybe monthly payments are treated as month to month - funny how though if you pay by the month and need to make a claim you have to pay for the remainder of the year. Could be different there I guess. I don't live in the States
The insurance companies didn't cancel polices after "the hottest summer on record". The insurance companies canceled the polices after they did a risk assessment and saw the state was not doing anything to mitigate fire risk and saw the potential disaster waiting to happen. Nothing to do with canceling due to "climate change".
There’s little the state can do to “mitigate” this kind of event, short of mandating that all structures be constructed of masonry, with metal roofs and fire shutters. The Santa Ana winds will always blow and fires will always follow them. Unfortunately, like many other cities, the original settlers fundamentally picked a lousy place to construct a major city…
@@PhilosopherKing73 Totally agree. It's a beautiful place but fraught with challenges - not only the propensity for wildfire, but water has always been fought over, and never mind the Big Earthquake that is inevitable. The destruction and loss of life will be a hundredfold to what we see here.
They knew there were fires in the area. Why not pack up a box of essential docs, photos, laptops, etc in advance just in case instead of waiting like sausages?
California wildfires demand immediate, large-scale action. Deploy aerial water tankers and fire retardants to contain the flames in high-risk areas. Establish firebreaks by clearing vegetation and using controlled burns to prevent further spread. Mobilize firefighters and emergency crews with advanced equipment to tackle the flames from multiple fronts. Use real-time satellite and drone data to track fire movement and plan strategic interventions. Evacuate threatened communities swiftly and provide shelters with necessary resources. Long-term, focus on improving forest management, reducing dry vegetation, and addressing climate change impacts. Unity, speed, and innovation are crucial to saving lives and restoring California’s landscapes. 🌲🔥
It looks just like Lahaina. Unless you managed to sneak back into Lahaina to see your home shortly after the fire without getting caught, you had to wait months to get clearance to get in. The first time we were legally allowed in was sometime in mid-late October. My heart and prayers are with you all.
They didn't need DEW for this. They just wait for the Santa Ana winds that come every year and get to work. Check this out from 60 years ago for comparison: LAFD: "Design For Disaster" - The Story of the Bel Air Conflagration | 1962
Only take away from this is to be grateful, reality can become very disturbing very fast in many different ways. RIP to the ones who lost their lives. God bless everyone who made it out alive, me just a stranger wish you all the best
I love that he said he needs to get the kids back to nan and pop. My heart just broke for him. We lost everything when wildfire swept through our city in 2016. Everything comes into a very clear perspective in the coming weeks after a fire. My advice is keep moving forward, dont look in the rearview mirror at all.

FEMA will give you 43K if you're lucky, your insurance will cover the rest.....many don't have or are underinsured for actual losses.

Last update as of this writing is 16000 structures damaged, 24 confirmed dead, USD52B worth of damages. Only 1 is contained 100%, many people are still missing and many structures are still under threat by current and new fires. Arrests have been made of looters and people who are starting fires (yes!).
Shocking to see how the houses are more combustible than the trees and gardens around them. The interview talks about the entire landscape being changed. If you look at the Paradise Campfire area in LA that had the massive 2018 fire that area never recovered. It's mostly now just vacant blocks of land with only a driveway to every prove a house was once there
That is so sad… I had a dear friend from college that lived in Paradise. I tried to get in touch with him a few years ago, but didn’t have any luck. I’m pretty sure all I had was his parents landline phone number which I’m sure is no longer in service if they moved far away. The reason why the trees stand is because they were being watered by nearby sprinklers, so they had plenty of water in them. The ones that burned were the ones that were dried up and weren’t being watered.
Direct energy weapon ( microwave) doesn’t affect organic matter, that’s why the foliage is fine and it also does not melt plastic or anything blue but it does melt tubs and toilets and glass out of home and cars. Regular forest fires do not do that. Agenda 2030.

However, your assessment regarding trees is contested by Robert Brame, a man with four decades of experience as an arborist. For one thing, trees that carry a heavy load of water can still burn - they burn from the inside out. Also the steep prices people pay to the water utility companies mean that many of us Californians rarely water our trees. 20 years ago, it was normal to have autumn rains start by mid September. In 2018, in Paradise, there had been little rain since the prior spring - some 7 months earlier. It really means something that such dry trees did not burn up even when next to houses turned to dust.

I left LA years ago. Pretty much the only reason was the heat. I just couldn't take year round summer. I just got back from visiting family two weeks ago and it was 78 degrees.. in the winter. It never rains. Just seems to be an odd place for millions of people.
I love winter, the cold and snow. Plus all of the other seasons too.
We get lots of burned out LA transplants in the county next door (Ventura) I'm betting some will flee to Thousand Oaks & Agoura, where on earth do you put 200K displaced people that are evacuated right now? The firefighters take up all of the hotel rooms, where do people go? BTW, it's the local govt that manages water supply and we had flooding rains the year before so they felt confident in repairing those reservoirs (you can't ignore repairs or you have an Oroville burst Dam situation during atmospheric rivers) but that was a bridge too far for our infamous Santa Ana winds. I was in a fire in 2018, joining Cal Fires community program has helped along with mitigation efforts that these folks weren't required to make (clearing brush 200 ft from all dwellings, etc) due to their affluence. We are not allowed to waste water on lawns and landscaping but these folks don't have that requirement thanks to their wealth so this needs to be dealt with (water limits on the upper crust or we suffer the consequences) and that includes golf courses and other nonsense that wastes a valuable, limited resource like water.
I love the weather there. We're all different.

I go back tomorrow morning to see if my parents house is still standing. I was there Tuesday to rescue their cats which I brought back to my house. Even if the house is still standing, so much will change, it will never be the same. None of this had to happen. I can't tell you the amount of times my parents have called about homeless people starting bonfires in the canyon.
They are not wild fires arsonists have been arrested and let go.

Actually, you don't want your house to be standing in these scenarios. I learned this from the Fort McMurray fire in 2016. Insurance paid only for homes burned down, but homes that were intact were still damaged, and needed to be renovated on the owner's cost.

I have to give a shout out to Hilton Hotels/Amex and airB&B who have donated 20 thousand rooms for people who have lost their homes. Larger employers are reimbursing any emergency lodging the employee has to purchase. Palisades as I remember it was the most 'neighborhoody' place I ever visited in California. You had neighbors, kids playing on the street. Yes, wealthy area, but homes are homes. This man and what he lost is an example, they are not sticks and bricks, they are places that people have made memories, stored memories, give you something good to return to at the end of the day. the safety was wiped out.

Yes, there are a few things fishy with the pumps. But this fire was absolutely out of control with those hurricane-like winds. If they had been able to fly and drop water consistently, it wouldn’t have been like this. Also, if there had been little to no wind, the fire would never have gotten this big.

The insurance companies cancelled insurance after the arid weather. Obviously they knew that wildfires were highly likely & did not want to pay out. So the government must have known too!
Everyone knows. It's climate change. We've been warned for decades. We've had catastrophic floods, hurricanes, droughts, and fires. More frequent and more severe. This is a direct result of human inaction.

The insurance issue in California is no joke. Insurance companies are eager to drop homeowners the first chance they get because there's too much risk
But they should never be allowed to cancel existing policies that have been paid for.
@heather6668 in my experience, they can choose not to renew once the term that they paid for is up.
So everyone should carry a loan or line of credit on home so that it will be covered.
@@JRPLAWOffice True but if they've been paid for the year then they should be made to honour that. Maybe monthly payments are treated as month to month - funny how though if you pay by the month and need to make a claim you have to pay for the remainder of the year.

Land grab it is...Those poor people
A man named "Beni Oren" posted his own video on his X page showing himself and his accomplice starting the LA Fire.
Really ill have to go look him up
The insurance companies didn't cancel polices after "the hottest summer on record". The insurance companies canceled the polices after they did a risk assessment and saw the state was not doing anything to mitigate fire risk and saw the potential disaster waiting to happen.
Nothing to do with canceling due to "climate change".
This is what people are not understanding!
And they probably didn't cancel, it will be either you're not meeting the terms you agreed rendering the policy void.
Or they don't renew that policy
There’s little the state can do to “mitigate” this kind of event, short of mandating that all structures be constructed of masonry, with metal roofs and fire shutters. The Santa Ana winds will always blow and fires will always follow them. Unfortunately, like many other cities, the original settlers fundamentally picked a lousy place to construct a major city…
@@PhilosopherKing73 Totally agree. It's a beautiful place but fraught with challenges - not only the propensity for wildfire, but water has always been fought over, and never mind the Big Earthquake that is inevitable. The destruction and loss of life will be a hundredfold to what we see here.

They knew there were fires in the area. Why not pack up a box of essential docs, photos, laptops, etc in advance just in case instead of waiting like sausages?
Denial.

You can only be grateful to be alive when something this bad happens.
California wildfires demand immediate, large-scale action. Deploy aerial water tankers and fire retardants to contain the flames in high-risk areas. Establish firebreaks by clearing vegetation and using controlled burns to prevent further spread. Mobilize firefighters and emergency crews with advanced equipment to tackle the flames from multiple fronts. Use real-time satellite and drone data to track fire movement and plan strategic interventions. Evacuate threatened communities swiftly and provide shelters with necessary resources. Long-term, focus on improving forest management, reducing dry vegetation, and addressing climate change impacts. Unity, speed, and innovation are crucial to saving lives and restoring California’s landscapes. 🌲🔥
