FIRES OF HELL : Thousands flee California wildfire bigger than New York City as shocking pictures show blaze destroying towns

THOUSANDS were forced to evacuate as a devastating wildfire that's larger than New York City ripped through parts of California.

The Dixie Fire has already destroyed 278,000 acres and is only 35 percent contained as shocking pictures show intense flames leveling the town of Greenville.

The blaze is burning around 250 miles northeast of San Francisco.

Around 2,400 people had evacuated their homes in Placer County and another 4,200 people were under evacuation orders in Nevada County.

And, at least 5,400 firefighters are tackling the raging inferno.

Homes were devastated as the blaze ripped through historic buildings and properties.

Striking images show a gas station, hotel, and bar burning to the ground.

Abandoned cars are covered in ash and firefighters have been pictured at the scene clearing debris.

It’s reported that 67 homes in Greenville have been destroyed since the blaze broke out on July 14. No injuries or deaths have been reported.

The blaze generated a towering smoke plume that was visible around at least 70miles away.

Fire chief Mike Wink said the column rose 30,000 feet in the air.

Dawn Garofalo watched the cloud grow from the west side of the lake, where she fled with a dog and two horses, from a friend’s property near Greenville.

She said: "There’s only one way in and one way out. I didn’t want to be stuck up there if the fire came through."

Pandora Valle, a spokesperson at the US Forest Service, told the San Francisco Chronicle that "firefighters are fighting for the town of Greenville".

Residents were warned of bone-dry conditions and wind speeds of up to 40mph were forecast.

Crews are warning that the blaze could cause potentially more devastation.

Shannon Prather, of the US Forest Service, said: “I think we definitely have a few hard days ahead of us.”

Another wildfire, the so-called River Fire has torched around 1,400 acres in Placer and Nevada counties.

And, the McFarland Fire, which was sparked by a lightning strike, has threatened remote homes located in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Heat warnings have been issued across Southern California for much of the week, especially in mountain and desert regions.

It’s reported that there are at least 25 active blazes in Montana, 21 in Idaho, and 13 in Oregon.

Meanwhile, there are at least 11 fires burning in California, according to the latest statistics.

RAGING INFERNOS

In Hawaii, crews gained control of the 160-square kilometer Mana Road blaze that had destroyed at least two homes on the island.

Last month, it was reported that more than 80 blazes raged across the West Coast.

The Bootleg Fire in Oregon has destroyed at least 400,000 acres of land but firefighters are said to making "good progress" as it is 84 percent contained, according to ABC7.

Experts warned of fire tornadoes as infernos destroyed more than 300,000 acres of land in Oregon and changed weather patterns.

Marcus Kauffman, of the state’s forestry department, said the intensity of the flames can cause the wind to go around it – creating swirling clouds of heat known as fire tornadoes.

Scientists feared that a megadrought could unleash a climate catastrophe as Americans continue to battle with the intense heat.

In July, temperatures in Las Vegas hit 117F and the mercury soared to 121F in Portland, Seattle, and Lytton – a small town in British Columbia.

The National Weather Service recorded that Washington state was in “exceptional drought” – the first time since the Drought Monitor began in 2000.

"The World is in Total Shambles"
The brother above hit the nail on the spot.

We are Currently living in a time JESUS referred to as Birth pains.
JESUS Likened the Last days events like to a Pregnant woman in Labour. As the Days of Delivery comes close, the pain increases in both Frequency and Inrensity, until the baby comes.

So it is in these Last of the Last of days. As we get closest to the D-Day, the Earthquakes, Draught, Famines, Floods, Fires and all the birth pains will be more Frequent and Intense. All the signs are Manifesting around the World right before us.

There is Nothing more Important to the World Inhabitants today than the Gospel of JESUS Christ. JESUS is Coming!
Whatever we are witnessing now is "Testing the Mic" to what will be here After the RAPTURE.

Make your Choice for JESUS thisday. The Choice is yours.

shocked


One thing I’ve discovered about these white people is that they rarely talk about their negatives, even when they want to, they just show it briefly and quickly move on from it.

I mean, I watch CNN almost all day both at the office and when I get to the house but you hardly see this fire or even the raging gun shootings across the US, but I come to Nairaland and see it and feel lost.

Oga, God didn't create us to come here on earth and be waiting for Him to come and lift us from earth, otherwise He'd have taken us to heaven straight. Apart from writing terrifying posts everyday on nairaland, what else are you doing to make life easy for the next person?

I see… anyways someone will claim these annual fires in California is a sign of the end of the world.

Serving God doesn’t mean should put your God given brain on press pause.

Why is this happening in a sophisticated society like the US? Can't they use their sophistication to prevent or even curb this disaster.

Disasters like this have happened long long ago

This doesn’t indicate anything. For example, Mount Vesuvius volcanic eruption killed a lot of people in Pompeii (I think) of the ancient Roman Empire. Countless natural disasters and plagues followed, like the bubonic plague of the 1500s in Europe.

Anyways, no temple to desecrate in Israel…nothing dey happen.

The Gospel of THE KINGDOM (Matthew 24 v 14) and THE ETERNAL GOSPEL (Revelation 14 v 6-7) hasn’t reached the ears of all mankind either. So calm down and stop crying wolf where there’s none.
