Should we compare this to the hurricanes hitting Florida and Georgia? Or perhaps the invasion of Iraq?

Actually it's part of his parole conditions.

The water pressure also failed during the 1961 Bel Air and Topanga Fires.

In the years after, LAFD and DWP planned a number of improvements, for those specific areas, to make sure that never happened again.
One of those improvements was the construction of the Santa Ynez Reservoir, built expressly for emergencies in the Pacific Palisades.
That reservoir was empty last week.

OneIronRat learns the meaning of the word Drought.

The question is WHO is putting up the money to cover his liability in the case?

Is it Trump?

Jeff once again looks like an idiot.

Same as every other day.

syco, clown, --------, angrylittlegirl...........is is possible you all lack the brains and social skills to recognize self-deprecating humor when it's painfully obvious?

#72 | Posted by eberly

Based on Jeff's posting history, no.

You're delusional. Everyone knows I'm Wile E Coyote level genius. I'll drop an anvil on your head and giggle while doing it.

God damn it, Jeff. Your shrink told you not to go off the medication.

I think the song "Pretty Fly" by the Offspring was written about you:

"He may not have a clue and he may not have style
But everything he lacks, well, he makes up in denial"

I own all of you. Yesterday I made Twoothy cry with minimal effort.

#48 | Posted by BellRinger

You got fact checked into oblivion like usual.

Everyone thinks you're an idiot.

A Monson,

I'd demolish you if we ever met in person. Last night, I made Twoothy cry, just with my keyboard. In person, I'd have you in the middle of a picker bush with your dad all angry and limping after me.

When you get your ankle monitor off and can leave the house, let us know.

Don't worry. We won't schedule anything within 300 feet of a school just to make sure you don't violate parole.

Seriously, you sound like a 13 year old...as usual.

" Jeff, you truly are an idiot and a liar.

And you are an --------. No way that state can't build a reservoir, with all of the annual mountain snow melt in 45 years. That's absurd.

Quit defending the indefensible.

#24 | Posted by BellRinger

Jeff, the new expert on collecting snow melt, is here to correct us all!

...and ignore all the facts presented...

Typical Jeff.

JEFF, YOU STUPID HACK. DO YOU THINK THE CURRENT SNOW MELT JUST DISAPPEARS? IT ALREADY RUNS OFF INTO SACREMENTO AND SAN JOAQUIN RIVERS WHICH ARE ALREADY BEING TAPPED FOR WATER RESERVES. AND THE SNOW MELT HAS BEEN DECREASING. BETTER YET, THE RIVERS BEING FED ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STATE AND WHERE THE NEW RESERVOIR IS BEING BUILT.

AND THE RESERVOIR WOULDN'T EFFECT THE FIRE FIGHTING EFFORT. IT'S 450 MILES AWAY.

You are a god damn idiot who refuses to look up even the most basic facts. People like you shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Yes. Usually it's called wildfire season. This one is just more newsworthy since it's burning LA rather than some random hillside.

#31 | Posted by REDIAL

Except...this isn't wildfire season in California. That's June and July maybe until October/November.

" Well Jeff, California didn't have a major drought from the late 70's until about 2007. So there wasn't a huge need for a reservoir."

Setting aside the increase in population.

Rolling blackouts and brownouts happen in that state But, gotta prioritize the Delta Smelt over the citizens.

#14 | Posted by BellRinger

Same old, same old for Jeff.

Ignore when planning started for the new reservoir.

Ignore the recent droughts causing water issues rather than population growth.

Ignore the cost, water rights fights, and potential location of a reservoir.

Ignore that a new reservoir won't change water prices.

Ignore that the reservoir would not effect fire hydrants or fire fighting.

Change the topic to energy and a fish.

Jeff, you truly are an idiot and a liar.

I see....I stand corrected. Thanks.

-You left out extreme and highly abnormal winter drought in that area.

Is that mutually exclusive of the humidity? What's the significance of drought separate from low humidity?

humidity can be measured.....how do we measure drought?

I'm just asking...not arguing.

#23 | Posted by eberly

From what I can tell, yes, very different from humidity.

They use a variety of indices to measure drought. The big factors are Precipitation, Temperature, Streamflow, Soil moisture and Snowpack. But the indices lag behind wildfire conditions and actual drought conditions obviously.

Obviously the big one for that area are Precipitation and Soil Moisture. Both are incredibly and unusually low.

Then you toss in the 40-80 mph winds...

Don't you just love how all these experts in water management suddenly emerged from under the rocks like scorpions. Look at how much they care about California suddenly!

#9 | Posted by donnerboy

This is why Google is our friend. We can go check what the experts are actually saying.

Jeff doesn't do that. He goes off his vast knowledge of water management from 4Chan memes and Sean Hannity.

You spend most of your time biting ankles. That alone makes me smarter than you.
I posted this opinion piece because I viewed it as pretty balanced.
Your only response was a personal attack.

#5 | Posted by BellRinger

Sycophant,
The last time California built a water reservoir was 1979. This state spends far more accommodating illegal immigrants that it does on forest and water management.

#6 | Posted by BellRinger

Someone has to fact check you because your idea of "Balanced" is completely Fact Free.

Well Jeff, California didn't have a major drought from the late 70's until about 2007. So there wasn't a huge need for a reservoir.

The new reservoir plan started in 1996 however. This isn't the 50's. The easy sources of water are all already tapped. So this one required a lot more planning.

So a new reservoir is insanely expensive, there are very few sites to build them, and there is huge competition for the water. It likely won't lower water prices.

In fact, the new potential sites are so rare, that the new reservoir IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ------- STATE. It would have NO effect on the wildfires.

Fact Checked into Oblivion Again. We done here?

Ah yes, climate change is fake. These huge changes in the weather are...magic!

The insanely abnormal winter drought is...magic!

Sorry but the reservoir isn't enough to stop the fire. Convenient that your author left that out.

And filling the reservoir magically during an extreme drought isn't possible.

Jeff, you are one of the dumbest posters on this site.

look at this from a risk management perspective.....

several risk factors had to be present at the same time.

high winds
low humidity
fairly dense housing
billions of $$ of property at risk in the event of a wildfire

These are all factors that had to be present at the same time in order for this to happen, right?

IOW, if you remove any of those factors....the chance of this level of devastation occurring is significantly reduced or even eliminated.

#15 | Posted by eberly

You left out extreme and highly abnormal winter drought in that area.

No extreme drought, no massive wildfire.

But no, let's skip planning for climate change causing this on a regular basis in the future because climate change is fake, right?

Which ones? If a man is accused of something names should be known.

#47 | Posted by oneironaut

The names are known, you idiot.

I predict the Vikings will trade Darnold to the Steelers, or back to the Jets.

How?

Sam Darnold is a free agent after this season.

Another Kavanaugh style rapist hearing. Great. He'll probably make it.

While true, this guy actually paid a settlement to his accuser.
