"Brutal” and “relentless” were the words one California winemaker used after receiving evacuation alerts early Sunday morning. The Glass fire, which ignited just before 4 a.m. Sept. 27 near the community of Deer Park, quickly spread to the eastern foothills between Calistoga and St. Helena in the heart of Napa Valley. There are now multiple fires burning in Napa and Sonoma, which have consumed a total of 11,000 acres, with 0 percent 1containment, according to the state agency Cal Fire.

Wouldn’t surprise me. The Fuhrer Newsome is trying to transform the Californian republic into a socialist dictatorship and using climate change as the means to nationalize all industry. He is also using sexual identity politics to transform society away from the Nuclear Family into state controlled childcare and using the CCP Virus to outlaw religion. And Californian’s still sit on their butts and do nothing.

3 PM, 9/28/2020: At least 68,000 Sonoma County residents under evacuation orders:

A total of 33,870 people are under an evacuation orders in unincorporated parts of Sonoma County, according to Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick.

Combined with an estimated 35,550 residents ordered to evacuate in the city of Santa Rosa, more than 68,000 people have been forced to flee their homes as the out-of-control Sonoma County fire continues to burn.

Another 14,624 unincorporated county residents are under evacuation warnings, Essick said in a video update on Facebook.

“We have deputies in your neighborhood, conducting evacuations, leading you to safety and providing public information,” Essick said. “We have sought help from our local mutual aid partners, so you’ll see other Sonoma County law enforcement in the field helping our deputies.”

I wonder what kind of special fire protection is being directed to Pelosi properties in Napa.

Well said. It’s intentional, deliberate.
And if global warming is a reality why isn’t the world burning?

Wait three months for it to be mudslide season. Give everyone health care and schooling just to show Trump. Forest management who needs stinkin forest management? The biggest polluters in the world right now could be California.

As long as it only burns down Gov. Pretty Boy Newsom’s Winery I’m fine with it.

A few weeks ago, when smoke was really bad in San Jose and the sky was post-apocalyptic orange, I remember asking a co-worker if that was what nuclear winter looked like.

I wonder if their spotted owl has anything resembling a habitat left at this point.

Yeah, logging and prescribed burns were SOOOOO much worse....

Also off Highway 128 is the Pumpjack Winery, which Newsom founded and co-owns. The winery sits about 4 miles south of the Glass Fire evacuation zone, which ends on Highway 128 at Sage Valley Road. The evacuation zone extends down to the west of Newsom’s winery, as well.

First words out of my mouth when I heard this in CA. today, I hope and pray that the BITCH Pelosi’s entire home and vineyard burn to the ground along with her 13,000 dollar refrigerator and expensive ice cream!!
