Dixie wildfire becomes the largest in California history, torching 482,000 acres and forcing thousands to evacuate

The Dixie Fire in Northern California has become the largest wildfire in the state's history.

The fire has torn through more than 487,00 acres in Butte, Plumas, Tehama and Lassen counties and has been ongoing for more than 27 days.

Close to 6,000 personnel have been assigned to fight off the devastating fire, but only 25percent of the blaze has been contained, officials have said.

At least 893 structures have been damaged, and 12,000 people have been evacuated. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.


Dixie might have originated when a tree fell on one of the power lines of the Pacific Gas & Electric Company on July 13. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection were called to put out the initially small fire but poor roads and an unauthorized drone prevented the department from successfully mitigating the fire before darkness fell.

On July 22, Dixie merged with the Fly Fire, while firefighters battled inclement weather conditions. Four firefighters were hurt when they were struck by a fallen branch.

Firefighters have had to deal with people reluctant to leave - some of whom pulled guns on them - even as the wildfire continues to spread. Their refusals meant that firefighters spent precious time loading people into cars to ferry them out, said Jake Cagle, an incident management operations section chief.

'We have firefighters that are getting guns pulled out on them, because people don't want to evacuate,' he said.

The Dixie Fire progressed through July and was briefly contained, before major wind exacerbated the blaze.

The Pacific Gas & Electric Company was ordered to provide details on the circumstances around the fire to a federal judge by August 16.

More land has burned in the Dixie Fire than in the Creek Fire, in which 379,895 acres had scorched by the time it was 100% contained on Christmas Eve.

At least 163 water tenders have been employed in attempts to contain Dixie, but the unforgiving blaze has incinerated 75percent of the structures in the town of Greenville.

The fire, fueled by bone-dry vegetation and 40 mph gusts, raged through the community of Greenville, leveling most of its historic downtown and leaving blocks of homes in ashes.

Terrible ! So terrible!

We need to Understand that GOD controls the Weather ( Job 37:5-13).
HE Does it for 3 reasons
I.For Punishment
II.For His Land
III.For Mercy

The Extreme Weather we are witnessing now is Clearly for Punishment.
What is Happening is GOD ALMIGHTY Warning an Unbelieving and Unrepentant World that Judgement is Coming.

The way out for the People and Nations is not technology, green emissions, Climate this or climate that. The way out is to cry out to GOD for Mercy and do away with everything evil.
Failure to do this, Expect Greater Disatrous Disaters in the Nations.

Humans are powerless before God The Almighty!

Rightly Isaiah 40:15 says: Look! The nations are like a drop from a bucket, And as the film of dust on the scales they are regarded. Look! He lifts up the islands like fine dust.

What the many Natural disasters going on has shown is that, if God desires to end humanity, nothing can stop him. Hence Job 34: 14,15 beautifully speaks of it this way: If he fixes his attention on them (humans), If he gathers their spirit and breath to himself, All humans would perish together, And mankind would return to the dust.

It is therefore instructive that all who have Ears hear what the Spirit says by repenting in dust and ashes and turning to God through Christ while there's still time.

For like the days of Noah, that day will come instantly upon all who dwell on the surface of the earth.

Its amazing isn't it. How a book people claim were written by "unlearned goat herders" turned out to be some sort of "scientists" who could predict the rising distresses and increase in calamities globally before the time of the end.

The so called learned ones will tell you it has always been happening. But meteorologists say otherwise.

It is well.

This dolt uses his alternate accounts to create doomsday topics so that he can use his main account to spread lies when it reaches front page. He's the owner of Holiness2100 and Holinessforever accounts. Check the comments on the topics created with these accounts, you must see him conveniently sitting atop the comments section. What type of precher employs deception if his intentions are noble? All this guy wants to do on this website is spread fear and propaganda, lies and false prophecies. From his defeated conspiracy theories about covid which he predicted to be the end of the world, to his false prophecies about Donald Trump and the United States election. All his lies have been failing. Now he's resorted to scouring the web for natural disasters and anomalies in order to spread his usual bile.
