"Run For Your Life": Thousands Flee As Wildfires Spread Across California (Pix)

Three major wildfires that began Tuesday continued to spread unabated across 🇺🇸 Los Angeles County early Wednesday, propelled by powerful winds, as authorities ordered the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and warned the situation could worsen in the morning.

Three major wildfires—the Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and the Hurst Fire—now cover nearly 4,500 acres of area around Los Angeles County, with 0% of the fires contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

A major traffic jam was reported in the area as tens of thousands of people attempted to flee the fire—including some who reportedly abandoned their vehicles on the road—which prevented emergency vehicles from reaching the affected areas.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency on Tuesday night as he urged residents to heed the evacuation order and said, “This is a highly dangerous windstorm creating extreme fire risk, and we’re not out of the woods.”

Newsom’s office also said the state had secured a “Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to help ensure the availability of vital resources” to tackle all three fires.

The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning (warm temperatures, strong winds and low humidity) for Southern California that spans from Tuesday to Wednesday in the Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and from Tuesday to Thursday in the San Bernadino, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties.

From plane crashes every 3 days to chemical spills to hurricanes to floodings every day.

The specs of light in the photos are from the oil in Eucalyptus trees. They could easily end the wildfires by replacing the trees, which are highly flammable because of the volatile oil that permeates them, but they don't. The Australians are in exactly the same situation. It's utter madness that California and Australia keep fighting the oil fueled fires every year and risking lives instead of just getting rid of the accursed trees.

US is just too susceptible to wildfire 🔥

Their wood-made houses and gas pipes to various household will will continue to make uncontrollable wildfires a recurring event.

At least make dem make bricks cheaper....this will reduce the incidence of wildfire events to a certain extent
