LA fires caused by sun flares?
Okay, I was watching the news feed today and realized that the forest fire looked like the surface of the sun. That's how bad it was.

Then I remembered ... these fires are corresonding 100% with the solar storm.

Hmmmmmmmm ......

LA veddy veddy weird place.

9. exactly and who needs sunflares when arsonists and idiots who can't

10. Yes...the fire in Ramona which merged with the Camp Pendleton fire
that had been burning since last week was caused by a guy who went hunting. Arson is also the cause of the Big Bear fire and is suspected in a couple others...Simi included.

14. no...
just the perfect combination for a big fire....

Decades of bad forest management, leading to overgrowth...

Wet spring leading to lots of brush growth....

Dry, hot summer leading to drying....

Hot autumn combined with strong Santa Ana winds...

A spark....
