Los Angeles County is experiencing an apocalyptic situation with entire neighborhoods burning. Over 10,000 acres in Pacific Palisades alone have been affected, and the smoke everyone is breathing is being described as a toxic soup. Five people have already died, having been burned alive, and hundreds of homes have been scorched.

The most destructive fire in L.A. County history is still raging, with 0% of it contained.

The winds are intensifying the fire, with gusts up to 100 miles per hour. Despite the exhaustion of over 1400 firefighters, they remain determined to fight the blaze on the front lines. One of them proudly declares, "I've been awake for 96 hours, and I'm still standing." However, they are outnumbered and outfitted, making the battle even more challenging.

The fire department is facing a shortage of firefighters due to budget cuts by the mayor, who reduced funding by $20 million just months ago. Additionally, the department sent extra equipment to Ukraine, which could be useful now. However, the situation is even more dire as the fire hydrants are currently dry.

What is the reason for the lack of water coming out of the fire hydrants in Los Angeles? Despite experiencing two years of record rainfall, the city hasn't seen this much precipitation, year over year, since the 1800s.

A decade ago, California voted to spend billions on water storage and reservoirs. However, Governor Newsom hasn't finished building a single one yet.

Gavin was told by Trump to get it together regarding storing water in California this fall, as they hadn't done anything about it in a decade.
