The fiery devastation is reminiscent of what Sodom must have looked like after Hashem destroyed it. Hmmmm…

We do not understand the ways of Hashem. To think or especially to write and speak about our own theories as to why Hashem caused this to happen is , forgive me, foolish.

Many Jews lived in the burned out areas, and there were a number of thriving Chabad Shuls. Many Persian Jewish refugees from Iran lived there. Horrible tragedy.

So according to some commentators on this site, when natural disasters happen in Blue states, it is G-d’s wrath. Yet when natural disasters happened in Red states last summer and fall, it was Democrats controlling the weather to interfere with elections. Gotcha!

Regarding the fire hydrants going dry, the New York City Fire Department has a backup contingency plan, in case such a situation occurs near the East River, Hudson River, and Harlem River. The NYFD fire boats can draw water from those areas, and spray water into fires, which are in close proximity.

The liberal mindset to me is mindboggling. They have been warning for years already how its not just climate change but a climate crisis. The science has said that we should expect more wildfires and hurricanes. Now kind of the epicenter of wildfires is CA which is known to have dry almost deserts like climates. Why wouldn’t they better prepare for something like this? Isn’t this what they themselves warned about? Is all that talk just to scare people but no action? They did a simliar thing during covid. We had a quieter summer but the science said once the winter comes another strand will arrive. Then winter came and we still had no plan how to deal with it. Whats the point of these warnings if not to prepare for disasters? (I am not saying that republican’s would do better. But they aren’t the ones predicting these things)

Even Sdom itself would NOT have been destroyed if they had 10 tzaddikim. From what is posted here, there were many more than 10 innocent victims. Those misguided kanoyim who glee at this tragedy as if it’s another Sdom, are wrong on so many levels.

Looks like the strong winds, looks like the droughts, the global warming, blah blah blah. Try to explain it away. I see it as Hashem’s limit of ארך אפים ran out, and is doing a good, long awaited for, ביעור חמץ. Sympathies to the minority of the good folks caught up in this mess. Maybe it’s time to leave that evil, immoral, atheistic and anti G-D hellhole.

Insurance premiums go up for eveyone -not only the alleged reshayim who lost their homes. In this regard at least, even self riteous “Heshy” was hit by this calamity. Nu Heshy, according to what you said too many times it’s an onesh for chillul Shabbos. Are you saying vidui for *your* chilul Shabbos ???

Here in monsey we organized a minyan to pray that Hollywood and its lefty atheistic movie stars get the wrath of Heaven and get destroyed like Sodom as they are the biggest promoters of gays and trans in the world. Let’s all answer Amein

Its amazing that the MAGA sons of pharoah are celebrating this catastrope. No doubt HaShem is watching closely to see who gloats over this horrid event – and HE may take HIS eternal revenge on those who are happy as to the suffering of so many others.
