    The Camp fire wiped out the town, killed at least 85 people, and scorched 150,000 acres. But in the face of a dark new reality, shellshocked residents are displaying resilience

They are paying me $95 per hour, and the most important thing regarding it is the fact that I am not that tech-savvy, they only required standard awareness of internet and plain typing skill...Awesome thing about this gig is the more free time I got to spend with my family. I am able to spend quality time with my relatives and buddies and take care of my babies and also going on family vacation along with them very frequently. Don't miss this chance and make sure to react rapidly. Let me show you what I do... *growthbig92­.­c­o­m*

    It’s absolutely breath taking to know that these people literally lost everything in such a short amount of time. I live a few hours away from Paradise and even the smoke was seen here. For Thanksgiving my family and I drove down to Chico, and with the help of several of our friends, we fed all of the fire evacuees warm Thanksgiving meals. We ended up feeding almost 3,000 people. Seeing the aftermath of so much devastation was so crazy I can’t even imagine what these people went through right in front of them. Stay strong Paradise.

      Fire is weird. There is no rhyme or reason to it, as you drive through the devastation, there’s one home burned to the ground and one home standing. Or one home standing and across the street the homes are all gone but trees still standing. You have to see it to believe it. But as you drive into my home town of Magalia Ca, all the trees are burned and gone, it’s bare, burned, and neighborhoods are burned to the ground, then you have a few business that are standing and everything around them including other businesses are gone, burned to the ground.

    Moved there 1975. Heartbroken and shocked. One day normal and the next day everything changed. Living 15 minutes away by Lime Saddle Marina, so Paradise was the place to shop and say hi to local people. Now today and since the day the fire started sharing the pain of loss and destruction myself along with most of my friends. New young families losing their first homes and elderlies I may not ever see again, we would talk and joke in Safeway. Every store was run with friendliness and concern if one needed something. Nothing was better than to sit outside underneath the trees and hear the geese flying over, and hearing neighbors laughing. The memories are fond and shaded with grief. The communities in the mountains are shattered and yet the people are strong and will continue on.

    I'm from Paradise. My wife and I have lived there for more than 35 years. On Nov 8th about 8:00 am I stepped out back, coffee in hand. I smelled smoke but that's not uncommon, there's lots of wood stoves around here. The wind was howling, I was sure a tree branch would fall on a line somewhere and we'd lose power. That often happens here with windstorms and all these Ponderosa pine. I noticed an odd reddish-brown color in the sky to the east. The color was almost identical to the color of the soil here, so my first thought was it's a dust storm. Then the phone rang, our son saying there's a fire on Pence road, it looks bad. Immediately I knew what that color in the sky was was, it's smoke! My wife and I started grabbing photos and important papers, but within 10 minutes the house was being pelted by burning embers. We grabbed our dog and jumped in the car, but as we turned the corner I could see flames 2 blocks away. This fire was already in town and it had strong winds on it! We were 3 blocks from the home when we spotted a woman on the side of the road. The smoke was so thick I almost didn't see her. She was terrified and quickly hopped into the back seat. We turned the next corner and joined the line of traffic moving way too slow. In my mirror I saw nothing but flames. As we sat there the fire quickly overtook us on both sides, burning homes, churches, businesses. That's the way it went, for the next hour, driving at 5 mph down Elliott to Skyway and out of town with everything around us on fire.

    Here is a comment on the recent government report on the effects of climate change:
    "This season’s Camp Fire in California has caused unimaginable destruction and has inspired numerous discussions about the impact of climate change on wildfires-and for good reason. In the Western states and Alaska, large forest fires have indeed increased over the past few decades. They’re burning millions of acres more land now than they did in the 1980s. It’s often difficult to parse out the effects of climate versus the effects of human land use and management on wildfires, but scientists generally agree that hotter and drier conditions are part of the cause."

She had been told that one of the lines on her property was arcing or sparking on trees. I don't think it was fixed obviously before it started the fire. To add to this, Jerry Brown the idiot Governor, Vetoed a Bill to clear lots of brush up in the forests. It is a combination of factors, but poor forest management is also a big part of it. I live here and just stood at the drug store a few months back as a fire raged over the hills where I live. It's a tinderbox here. I feel bad for the victims also.

    Trump still thinks there is no dangerous climate change and it's OK to withdraw from Paris agreement

      An agreement that is non-binding and no one outside of Western nations follows. Yeah, that will solve "climate change".

      Does it seem like anyone but the EU can actually make it happen? I mean come on!

      @Commentator541 5 лет назад

      And the EU can do it because they live off of tourism! Imagine if all production came back from china. No waaay would it ever be accomplished.

    My blood boils reading these IGNORANT conspiracy comments. There are scientific reasons why a lot of these trees will survive or last more than dry homes. This is not a joke. I live 40 miles from here. This has been true horrible shock, devastation, and tragedy for more people that you can imagine. Please have compassion. The amount of devastation up here is literally unbelievable

      If the devastation is so unbelievable, Why don't you want to know the truth about the fire?

      Do some research and you will see how this is not a conspiracy theory, just a conspiracy.

      @@ChrisInToon The camper was a jet powered drone [most likely Lockheed] with mounded DEW weapon system; our best guess that night to get the fire storm going most likely had 12 to as many as 25 birds in the sky. That is why there is so many blue light sightings.

    I lost my home. The only home I have ever had on this earth. I still cry myself to sleep wanting to go home. The fire has given me ptsd smoke as my trigger. Thinking my home is gone knowing I won’t see my friends for years haunts my nightmares. Thankfully my family has the money to rebuild thankfully my father known as “Toomey Framing” is well known enough to get asked already. I’m so thankful I have the resources to rebuild. My thoughts are prayers go out to everyone who needs help.

    I was personally affected by this fire.
    The camp fire was a direct energy weapons attack, most likely to be from an Athena DEW. Forest fires don't travel at 327mph which is how fast CAL fire says the camp fire spread, almost 500 fps. This & the wine country fires are uninvestigated crimes & the removal of the burned out destruction was covering up that crime. Investigation into who is involved needs to be taken seriously.

      @Will the Black Friday Bushfires 1939 incinerated 5,000,000 acres in two days. By spreading that is meant in all directions and not just forward.
      A beam of energy would have been scattered by the extreme amount of particulates in the air from the smoke.
      Please cite your source for Calfire stating that the fire spread at 327mph.
