  1. GOOD!👍🏾 HALLELUJAH! 👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉

  2. Every day is a nightmare

  3. World is on fire, and it will only get worst! We waste our lives collecting crap that it will be gone in an instance and nothing we can do! Enjoy life and collect less.

  4. Just a reminder that "ARSON" is not climate change!

  5. If this isn't proof against anti-white global terrorism all over the world I don't know what is.

    How many fires are these international criminals going to set in white communities before we do something?

  6. I hope the rain comes and stop the fires

  7. *I USE THE WORLDS SMALLEST SPOON TO SHOVEL ALL THE MANURE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!!* — ROSEANNE BARR

  8. This fire started Friday afternoon, 185 homes was destroyed n medical lake, wa.

  9. Smart to be wearing those face masks.
    Not just so you dont choke or caugh.
    I am finding out the "residue" from the stuff burning up can expose you and lead possibly to a mish mash of nuerologocal long term problems.
    Possibly even dementia!

  10. Washington state government agencies showing their true level of competence.

  11. Jesus said this was coming. The earth shall burn with ferverent heat. Read john 3.3. You must be born again, if you put your faith in Jesus, you are born again, dont wait, tomorrow is not promised.

  12. Joel 2:30 in the Bible And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke.

  13. That race of people are going through..

  14. To avoid death by these punishments from God hurricane wildfires heatwave more mag 6 earthquake tsunami volcano lightnings hailstones tornadoes meteorite North and South Americans to convert to Islam August 22, 2023.

  15. Prayers go out for everyone and please keep safe ❤

  16. I don't get why they don't do seasonal burn offs to prevent fires and stop building among pine trees and thick vegetation although I understand and love being surrounded by nature but these fires can seriously be prevented from being as furious and uncontrollable as they are .

  17. I’m born and raised in Toledo Washington so I hope everyone’s okay

  18. Thanks Lord for your peace
    Thanks Lord for your salvation

  19. Everyone hates and spits Jesus christ in the face so therefore humanity and their disgusting sins must be punished

  20. Plan to do 15 min city’s?!

  21. Stop your whining……..2 weeks on from the Maui fires and still 850 people are missing. Normally most of those people are found within a week………If 800 plus people have died in those wildfires it would have been the largest death toll by wildfires in recent memory. To give you a comparison The Campfire Wildfire in Cali killed under 100 people.

  22. America is on 🔥
    Like never before

  23. Devastating! The smoke could be seen all the way to the Olympic Peninsula and the smell of smoke awful!

  24. Why homes are burning not just regular empty land land?

  25. Crazy these fires just starting out of no we’re …

  26. Praying you guys get some rain, enough to smother these fires.

  27. Hopefully Les and Kathleen King have lost their house. Absolutely horrid people.

  28. Land mismanagement. We have the same thing going on in Michigan. They have been tearing out beaver dams and man made dams so we now have floods and droughts, just like in the west. The E.U.P. and Northern Michigan has not had a fire since 1920 so when it burns it will destroy everything. Only a matter of time before we have a big burn.

  29. Biden's poll numbers crashing with every bribery, extortion, embezzlement and bunko reveal, is it any surprise their Hottest Day on Record! was an AI Computer Simulation stunt? Then the Lahaina Fire. Now more forest fires than lightning strikes. Is arson out of control? The DNC Summer of Love solution: burn the house down to save it.

  30. Are people really surprised? People who are ok will just watch and do nothing. Inwanna say 70% of America cant and wont do anything to help. Survival of the economically ok!

  31. To be honest the Grey fire only got as big as it did because they didn't and still are not even fighting the fire. The are focusing solely on the structures. That isn't trying to containers the fires!

  32. This is arson. People are spotting people attempting to set fires. People are staying in their homes bc someone driving a water truck is driving through secured areas and robbing people.

  33. Isn't this something! Canada, Maui, this place. When will it end? Never

  34. Do they use the 747 Boeing water bombers?

  35. จึงวิเคราะได้ว่ามาแรงคือไฟน้ำต้องแรงเช่นกันถึง6เท่า/เปอร์เซนต

  36. Shocker?NOT. Why does it seem to be fires are where homes are mostly. It's interesting how that's happening. Tragic actually.
