  1. I say get the money 💰

  2. It's climate change. Call it what it is. You are doing humanity and all Life a disservice by mincing your words and because you are fearful to call spade a spade.

  3. Happy Passover! Got BLOOD?

  4. Illinois had a fire warning either yesterday or today. It was so wild. I don’t think anything happened but we only see that in California tbh

  5. This world will soon end. A better world is near but it's going get uglier before all this severe weather conditions come to its conclusion-end. 🎒🌿

  6. Two and half miles per hour meaning fire fighters can attack the fire from a distance of 50 miles away from any residential Areas meaning in other words within 20 hours residential Areas are going to be not only safe but cut off from the spread of the fire. the speed of Fire , is the fire Chief containment time before Fire reaches any residential Areas. The most important is human life and property . Understanding the direction of the fire as well as the speed of the fire , the density of the fire .

  7. If the fire is moving towards residential Areas , Fire fighters should focus on how to Cut the fire from reaching residential Areas . Cutting logs and Bushes while there's a plenty of water on the Ground near by residential Areas. I'm not a Fire fighters expert , but I rely upon my Logic and my common sense.

  8. How is it possible to Cut the fire spread by timing meaning by understanding the speed of the fire direction movement , fire fighters can not only slow down speed of the fire but also cut tree logs by machinery as well as the Grass , Roots , Clear the Ground from any Dry and or Green Grass , Clear the Ground Area by cutting logs and by making Access roads for fire fighters by Ground and I wonder if it is possible .

  9. Indiana and Philadelphia got some fires too

  10. I didn't realize New Jersey had these type fires? Maybe I haven't paid much attention But , no, never heard of it before,

  12. Today was 87 degrees in early April. This is EXTREMELY unnatural.

  13. Ecclesiasticus 39:29 KJV
