A Northern California fire has become the most destructive in the state's modern history, killing at least nine people and wiping out much of an entire town.

A quarter of a million people have been forced from their homes statewide as the Camp Fire in the north and two other major fires -- Woolsey and Hill -- in Southern California burned this weekend.

1. Trump won't help them

[Stuart G]

2. I sure hope you are wrong...Federal help is necessary ...nt

3. Trump tweets 'gross mismanagement of forests' is to blame for California wildfires

“Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!,” he added.

He's willing to punish California for being a blue state

[Stuart G]

4. Worst fire in California history...250,000 evacuations,,and all he can do is "blame"

Think about it...all the homes destroyed..

What a sick piece of sh*t..my apologies to sh*t

[PasadenaTrudy]

7. Fuck him

we will get through this

8. The fires didn't start in State forests.

And only maybe 5% of the forests in California are State forests, the rest are either National forests or leased Federal land.
Brush fires typically start on either private or county property, or on easments.

So, if anyone is lax on forest management, it's probably the Federal Government or Private landowners.

9. This one may (Camp Fire) well be on PG&E, again.

There were reports of a line issue near the origin of the fire at the time it started.

My mom probably is about to lose her home tonight. They've told her to prepare for the worst outcome. Fuck Trump! He has no idea what he's talking about!

[Onward AND Upward]

23. So sorry to hear about your Mom's situation...

Here in the smoke filled burbs, I'm thinking good thoughts for her and you.

5. True - it's a deep blue state

With 3,000,000 (at least) illegal voters (in other words-brown skinned) who cost him the popular vote in 2016. I’m sure he’s gleeful.

[Stuart G]

6. If he is.."gleeful" about this fire, then he needs to be locked up immediately..nt

[clementine613]

19. This is his responsibility...

They happened on his watch. He should have to pay for each and every one of those deaths.

[Socal31]

10. Not good.

I have a missing uncle in Paradise

[CountAllVotes]

11. I know some people over there too

A 97 year old father and his son. No idea. None. indeed

[Socal31]

12. Hugs.

The video going around of a man walking up onto a bunch of cars full of people who didn't make it. I would never watch it again, but it makes it so real. He makes a comment that one person didnt get out with him because they ran back into the house for something extremely unnecessary.

Horrible 36hr period.

[Liberty Belle]

18. Check #CampFire - people are positng photos of people they found as well as those missing.

There was a man around 94 someone found and they don't know who his family is.

[The Figment]

13. Just updated...

23 dead as of 6pm Pacific.

I have no words

Imagine the number of homes burned down. dozens? hundreds?

20. Is Trump Ever Going To Be Held To Account For This?

He's responsible for things that happen in the US under his watch. But the government, under his control, will never indict or try him for these deaths. SMH

[Brother Buzz]

21. Bummer, the North Winds kicked back in today

My Magic 8-Ball says all the containment they eked out yesterday is lost.

[The Figment]

22. Real time info here...2:30 Sunday

[Onward AND Upward]

24. He has now sunk lower than EVER...

There are videos of people trapped in their vehicles, stuck in traffic, with flames all around them, as the anguished voices of their children ask about the increasing fire and heat.

Some were found dead in those vehicles.

Some were seen getting out of the trapped vehicles, and running down the road, flames all around, with their children in their arms.

A couple who got out just in time, saw a man on the road, in front of their house, trying to out run the flames with an infant in his arms.

How many housebound and elderly had no one to come for them, because access was already cutoff?

We are dealing with pure EVIL in the White House. If there was any doubt before today, let there be none now.

25. Locking
