Still going or calming down?
Wrong thread Genie, no big deal done that a number of times myself.
Huntington Beach is 30 miles or so down the coast though. It wouldn't be of much help here.
As far as L.A.’s water goes, (I can’t stand Newsome) but, to give him some credit, he fought hard to get a desalinization plant built in Huntington Beach - which was rejected by the ‘Coastal Commission’ (some Lib B.S. thing made up of a bunch of super Left old biddies) because of ‘possible risks to marine life’
That was like 3 years ago. Would've probably been built and up and running by now…..
I assume you live in the U.S. Where do you reside if you don't mind me asking it doesn't have to be city specific. I'm in South Florida myself as I've stated many times at this forum.California seems like a great place to live if you hate money and like drama
Look at the bright side.
Will the governor resign?
He'll never resign.More likely they use any political momentum to trigger yet another recall election.
It's easier for Republicans to win the governor's office with a recall election, making it a big California GOP strategy.
That's how Arnie won the governor race, it was a recall election.
Better to trigger recall than for him to resign.
Lots of vids of pets roaming around the fires and aftermath
Hopefully those ppl who knowingly left them behind had multiple properties burn down instead of just one
That’s why I stress the word “knowingly”I know we want to judge, but I maintain neither you nor I, and I'm a lot closer to the action than you, can possibly comprehend just what has happened this week and just what everyone has gone through.
Just as you sound like they left pets behind out of cruelty, it's just as equal that those pet owners loved their pets and what we are seeing is just how bad it got that some of pets are now roaming.
I can remember a fireman last summer telling me about a fire he was fighting in the foothills. Some pets panicked and ran away in the midst of the fire. People had to evacuate NOW, and couldn't even find their pets.
I have to think for every pet out there you see, there are a number of owners that did everything they could to save their pets, but some could do nothing.
It's sad, but unfair to pass judgement at this stage.
It's just not right. You think you feel emotions for the pets and the owners, how do you think some of those pet owners feel when they left without their family member?
Anger isn't needed here, and neither is sympathy, although some sympathy is warranted.
It's empathy you need here, and a lack of it could indicate antisocial behavior.
Wags, are you on the spectrum?
That’s why I stress the word “knowingly”
Sorry but when it comes to innocent animals & people who intentionally or foolishly harm them, i shown no mercy
I do understand that many were left behind with no choice, but surely that’s not the case with all
