I'm glad James Wood got out ok.
Early yesterday, hours before things began heating up, local KTLA ran a prophetic story headlined, “100-mph wind, fire danger, rain and snow in ‘bizarre’ Southern California forecast.” It was literally a perfect storm of rain, snow, high winds, and dry air all creating a mega-fire hazard. The combination also made it crazy difficult for emergency responders, such as firefighters trying to traverse icy roadways. The worst-case scenario appears to have come true. Los Angeles is burning.
This morning, the New York Times ran a live update thread on the fires headlined, “Southern California Wildfires Live Updates: Officials Warn the Worst Is Still to Come.” Mandatory evacuations are in place and are still evolving as the fire moves quickly over thousands of acres. More than 30,000 people have fled, often abandoning cars right on California highways and running for it on foot. Many structures have already been destroyed as increasingly dense urban areas are consumed. The Times reported, “an unknown number of homes have been destroyed along the Pacific Coast.”
The scenes posted to social media are nothing short of apocalyptic.
We pray for the people of Los Angeles.
The hot takes are well underway. Be cautious, read critically, keep skeptical, and don’t leap to any conclusions. But we do know that, despite the perilous weather conditions, LA’s Mayor Karen Bass was away on vacation in Ghana, which I was not aware had a holiday venue. There are credible rumors that due to Mayor Bass’s budget cuts, the county’s fire reservoirs were not refilled and so hydrants were dry (but still, rumors).
Luckily, LA’s fire chief Kristin Crowley has been lauded as both the first woman and the first lesbian fire chief in LA’s history. And she is on video saying her top priority for the fire department was even more diversity. Many people are looking closely for signs of DEI incompetence.
Contrary to the federal government’s response to the hurricane disaster in Western North Carolina, in LA County, even while the disaster rages, FEMA has already responded. Governor Newsom says that he’s already received two federal relief packages and has spoken several times with President Biden.
We’ll all be paying very close attention to the similarities and contrasts with the federal government’s response to the disaster in North Carolina.
