I'm so sorry to hear about your loss and all the devastation...these fires are terrible but we will rebuild...

I'm pretty sure that was you I saw on PCH a couple months ago...gave me a wave, near the Palisades area. We've never met, but please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Kenneth Fire was about a mile away from me...thankfully the winds blew the other direction.

Approximately 8:30pm, last Tuesday night 1/7, on the top of Piuma looking towards the Palisades Fire

The community has been so supportive - I loved waving to Shelbys although now people are going to look at me funny since I won't be driving one. That's where the car was in the garage - good luck in finding it. Dealing with comps at the moment.

That's OK. I ride motorcycles a lot. When I'm in an automobile I tend to still wave at passing bikes

First - sorry to hear of your total loss of essentially everything you (and many many others) had….

I hope you can (somehow) be made whole again both from a physical aspect, but mentally too - it’s A LOT to not only take in but to go through when the damage is beyond words.

That pic is devastating to see. The only thing I can see is on the left side what may be the steel seat frame sticking out of the rubble.

Very sorry to hear and see anyone going through such a tragedy.

I’m not sure exactly how a coastal state right off the Pacific Ocean actually runs out of water, but what do I know.

Because ocean water is "salt" water.

Damn. I forgot. Its 2025. Desalinization hasn’t been invented yet.

Damn. I forgot. Its 2025. Desalinization hasn’t been invented yet.

Very expensive….and used for drinking, etc. Not firefighting.

I just came back from a cruise through the Panama Canal. They use water from the manmade Gatun Lake to control the locks. Why not just use water from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans? Care to guess?

CA should contact the Israeli’s. They’re doing it on a scale to turn desert in to fertile land for agriculture and the population. The cost of the infrastructure needed would be a pittance compared to the cost of the damage caused by the fire. I feel for those having to deal with this, op’s loss as well.

Cost to augment the water supply with desalination, I surmise, would be a mere fraction of the damage that was incurred and could have been paid for over time. Not having a better plan to utilize natural resources, process, store and logistically distribute water appropriately and without consideration of the obvious potential risk, simply amounts to gross mismanagement.

 

[Paul McWhiskey]

Mismanagement. It’s a great word. When completely understood it applies to the people who were in the position to manage.

Unfortunately there have not been any qualified people in those positions in that state for quite some time.

Because it’s salt water. Those lakes are freshwater.
