COBB, Calif. (KCRA) —A fast-moving wildfire burning in Lake County exploded to 50,000 acres and has destroyed hundreds of homes, Cal Fire officials said.

Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said more than 100 homes were destroyed by a wildfire that exploded in size within hours. That number was updated into the hundreds Sunday afternoon.

Berlant said wind gusts that reached up to 30 mph sent embers raining down on homes.

“seriously, i can’t believe people actually believe God had anything to do with sending the fire. thats nuts. sorry, but it is.”

Yes, as tragic as it is, God played no part in it. But as others have noted, the moronic “environmentalists” are the proximate cause of this disaster. Years ago, my father owned coin-operated laundries in Calistoga, Middletown and Lakeport. We used to go up there weekly to service them. It is beautiful country and I am truly saddened by what has happened.

They defy G-d at their own peril.

So God doesn't let good Christians homes burn down? And you know who in this area is a good Christian and who isn't?

God brings judgment when people/cities/nations rebel against Him.

Sure glad I don’t go to your “church.” Your and “stockpirate’s comments are despicable!
The God I worship doesn’t indiscriminately burn people out!

I mentioned what is in the Bible. Nothing more. God judges.

"And for the sizable minority of people in NorCal who DON’T spit in God’s face, I guess they’re just “collateral damage?”"

And your point is what? You don't like what i said or you refuse to read God's word and see what He says about the behavior of California?

So what do you think Sarah would say to you about your comments?

I’ll just bet you think God had something to do with that crane falling on the people in Mecca too!

Pretty early in the day to be drinking isn’t it? I’ve got a ton of friends who’ve lost their homes and businesses in the past 24 hours and you’re being a fool....

Get a clue.

The left control the major population centers LA, SF, and SAC. Get away from the coast for the most part it is conservative. Those losing their homes most likely did not vote for Obama.

My Bible doesn't mention California at all. It does mention Pharisees. How's it feel to be so much holier than the residents of Northern California...?
