Glad they were able to escape. Was the instruction to evacuate late? Did the fire spread too rapidly to give residents announcement to leave?
-
The fire moved too fast. it started at 6:30 am and was up to 7000 acres in hours. Fire moved too fast.
-
Oh my God!
-
It's insane. A town of 37k is gone. Fire is still moving fast.
-
My cousin lives there and I hope she made it out safe...... Praying for you all in Paradise.
-
I hope she's alright.
-
Thank you! They are safe, thank God. The situation in Paradise is horrible tho. My heart goes out to everyone out there.

While our president gives priority on the border, American families lose their homes to fires. Great work!!

The reason why CA has catastrophic wildfires is due to horrible liberal policies of protecting trees at any cost. This is a CA problem, not a federal one.

Hi. Don't be an complete tool, ok? I lived in Plumas County (right next to Butte) for years. I was literally just explaining the patchwork mountains and logging to my Midwestern wife two days ago, before this fire started. You're clueless.pic.twitter.com/3bCIJyI3B6

And here are the mountains on the other side of the highway. Educate yourself before you stick your foot in your mouth.pic.twitter.com/d7AyNZ5cMS

Absolutely amazing considering that the area on fire is heavily logged. Are you suggesting that they clear cut the mountains rather than cutting in cyclical patches which maintains the integrity of the land?

I am suggesting you stop being so obtuse. The smartest people in the world in wildfire management and forest management publish reports and give California advice which we continually fail to follow.

Just found out I lost my home. My partner is a wild land fighter and fought the Carr fire and Delta and now we lose our place to a fire. No warning at all. So angry right now. Unacceptable
