An astonishing plume, seen from the east. It was perhaps the 90's when I last saw something this large to to the west.
This is why you daily a raptor or trx or comparable…
Never know when have to battle ram a Tesla and off road to save your life.
I lived in Los Angeles for 20 years and always wondered what would happen if they had an emergency in a high traffic area!!
Maybe only a few cars ahead panicked and because they blocked traffic behind them, they endangered dozens of lives and those lives were forced to run from their vehicles.
As devastating as this is (God have mercy on these people) there was one driver at the very front of this tangled mess of steel...that could have kept going and none of this would have happened.
Palisades is losing the fire battle and chaos all over
Jeez this looks apocalyptic. Blessings to everybody in the area, stay safe.
The sight of abandoned cars lining these streets shows just how terrifyingly fast this fire forced people to make unthinkable decisions tonight.
There was a lot of conspiracy for wild fire in LA OC county. But Palisades is the first I've seen in this scale. It's one of those areas where artificial fire is really hard to come by.
Holy shit this is terrifying. I remember being stuck in my car pregnant as a hurricane came barreling in at me, time running out. Hope to god I never experience it again
This reminds me too much of what happened where I live. My heart goes out to you all. Get out now, stay out, and Godspeed.
All you need is a few cars to decide it’s too dangerous to proceed and you have gridlock followed by panic.
We need to reckon with climate change — seriously & urgently — fund state & federal forestry agencies, & wildland firefighters, in earnest. Everything else is empty talk & a betrayal to victims & those who put their lives on the line fighting fire.
That’s what happened to us and there was only 1 way out and everybody left their cars and took off on foot and we were trapped behind cars! Firefighters on bulldozers came through and start pushing cars all the way!
Hawaii emergency services should take note that people were not forced to stay in their cars and roads weren’t blocked. Additionally water wasn’t turned off and emergency alerts were active
How convenient that the day that a windstorm was predicted; there was a fire.
Definitely not a conspiracy theory!
After seeing the people of Paradise and Maui flee in panic, I certainly understand abandoning the car.
For EVERYONE!
For EVERYONE!
This is a good example of why, depending on what caused the fire, significant monetary damages can be available to evacuees even if they ultimately lost no property in a wildfire.
I don’t see one Cybertruck. Maybe they put it in Bioweapon Defense Mode and got out?
Okay but why? I mean reporters are literally walking around? A few cars blocked the road, intentionally, to intentionally block other cars.
Or did we forget about Hawaii already
Now imagine having an electric vehicle and no time to wait for it to charge because 100mph winds shifted. They are sitting ducks.
Too bad my Mercedes-Benz was damaged by the fire started by the Third Reich.
They will be able to apply for a $700 FEMA voucher, and if they are approved they should be all set.
Climate change is a bullshit narrative. It’s spending money on forest management. Climate change is determined by what the natural earth wants to do. These fires all over the world produces 30,000 years of C02 carbon of human emissions. Humans and cows are a pin prick compared.

Shame on LA and California. My family and friends were caught up in this and luckily escaped with their lives. They knew these winds were coming. Have we learned nothing the Paradise and Lahaina fires?! 
Now sadly elites in Calif will see what the poor souls in Maui and NC and TN have been going thru!
Pray for California. It's bad. I'm in glendale very close. Wind never been strong as it's now wind gust of 90mph. My side fence is gone. If you have pool, put it on service mode. Don't run it tomorrow till it is clean.
There is never a plan to warn and save lives. I learned this from someone I followed who survived the Malibu fire.
The news said police told them to abandon their cars. Then when the emergency crews couldn't get through, people on here called them selfish. We need to have more empathy for people in a crisis. There is chaos, panic and multiple people telling them different things at once.
I think that I saw this scene in The Walking Dead. Abandoned streets, abandoned cars. Also, in The Last of Us.
Lord, Jesus, please protect all these people who are going through this nightmare. It looks something out of a movie, but it's scary to see it irl.
And it’s purely coincidental that the fires happened to start just a few hours before the forecasted huge wind storm tonite. Interesting, and sad.
Panicked or were ordered by LAFD to abandon their cars? Get the truth out there!!!
Praying everyone gets out safely. So very horrifying to watch. I can’t imagine how scary it must have been.
It’s a war zone…so heartbreaking, praying for all our brave firemen & police and all who have homes 
in the area. 
in the area. 
Doesn’t help with a bunch of insurance companies that already pulled out of California.
I’ve lived in Cali for 60 years and have never seen a fire move so quickly.
I encouraged my neighbors on Facebook to make sure to scope out at least 2 exits from their home. Live in a cul de sac it’s not possible.
Completely untrue, the people in the cars were ordered by the police to get out and move down the road on foot because traffic was gridlocked. people were not “panicking” or “abandoning” their cars. Please stop spreading false stories
Every car represents someone too selfish to pull their car off the road before abandoning it.
Every car represents someone who took their keys so someone else couldn't move their car out of the way.
Every car represents a lack of planning and preparedness and insurance payouts.
IAM watching TV and why is the news reporting right in it,, never seen them get that close before
They were told to abandon their vehicles by first responders.
No one panicked & fled on foot. The state ordered people to get out of their cars & walk to the ocean
So scary. I hope everyone made it out safely.
In 2008, my family and I once had a sudden mandatory evacuation, and the traffic was horrific. It took us 2 to leave our town. Thank God.

You write a book about climate change? 
Your reporting is clearly worthless. Go home.

College educated humans didn’t know what to do in a time of climate change. Go figure.
Rake the forests and clear the brush so fires don't spread...Far Left Environmentalists have ruined California...
Hopefully the world will forget about them the same way everyone has forgotten about East Palestine or North Carolina. Hopefully the Palisades residents are triple vaxxed tho. #Safety
100 miles an hour winds.
What a great time for His Putridness to be retaking the reins of government.
Good thing the US just elected a climate change denier.
Things will definitely get better, smh
