    God is teaching us that people with fake tits and rich assholes will rebuild next week after this is all over. See? Poor people, you need to learn from the example! Just get money from your dad’s account and buy a new house in LA Jolla!

    Isn’t it Burger King who is supposed to be the one with flame grilled burgers?

      McDonald’s had to step up their game somehow, but I think they went too far…

    This imgur links to a 854 x 482 pixels, 15 seconds, 3.79 MegaBytes, mp4 video with sound. Was film from behind some transparent panel ? ( maybe vehicle or shelter ? ) Shows McDonald Panels and Palm Trees on fire in high noisy wind.

    A gif that perfectly represents what it’s like in America these days.

      There’s audio, this is real-time.

      You can also see the vehicles in the background.

        Yes I know, this is just the sound my brain makes when it is pleading with my senses to tell me I’m not seeing what I’m seeing.

    Is this wind intensity caused by the fire?

      It can be, but I don’t think it’s the case here - we have Santa Anas with sustained 40mph winds and 100mph gusts in some areas, and that is without any fire. The wind is also caused by the air moving in from the inland deserts that is very dry (often <5% humidity) and hot as well due to compression heating.

      There are reports that the Palisades Fire grew from 10 acres when it began to 200 acres in just 12 minutes, due to conditions like this.

        That’s between 8 and 10 on the Beaufort scale, holy mother of holy mothers!

    Holy shit, I mean I’d already known palm trees are like candles but they are like firefrackers in harsh wind!
