Many note that God could have calling the attention of mens wickedness: mockery of God, blasphemy, materialism. Californias richest live in Pacific Palisade, Hollywood Hills - site of many apocalyptic fires.
Many say moonscape, apocalyptic. Many think it is Karma for siding with Israel in the war in Gaza, or for exploding the A bomb.
Could it be?
For me its simply mismanagement and wrong priorities for LA, CA leaders. It can be improved.
