Will L.A. fires cause Rams game to be moved out of the area?

[AZRams]

Pedro is a bit south of the danger.
1000 structures in Palisades alone have burned

This is going to bring the CA Insurance market to it's fucking knees. This is insane...

 

[AZRams]

Yep. My sister lives in Malibu (since the early 70's) and she says these are the strongest winds she's ever seen.

Pepperdine grad...what part of Malibu is she in?

Move the gm to State Farm stadium here in Arizona. Nice place…and the Cardinals aren’t using it.

I was gonna suggest Levi (based solely on proximity to me), but Cardinals stadium is the better stadium.

both seat around 65k. and SoFi over 70k

who gets the seats and who gets the refund?

Fuck if I know, but I’d get to go. Lol

6? Try practically every year.

Seriously? Wow..

That's nuts. Didn't imagine it was a yearly occurrence in LA.

Surprised they don't already have multiple forestry units on this by now? Sure some are being called up but usually don't they already show up by now for this season?

As you can tell I'm the reigning expert on forest fires! lol

Well while I feel for the people that lost their homes or worse. I also have to believe they knew the risk moving to an area where a wildfire is almost certain. Same goes with the insurance companies. This is why people pay insane premiums and deductibles. Insurance companies should have zero complaints.

Yes, we have fires almost every year, tornado's, hurricanes and disasters happen across the globe. This is the a disaster and the worst fire episode I have witnessed.

I can't imagine what the people are going through, Kids animals and the like, it is unfathomable to me to not be compassionate about anybody's loss of home. Many of the burnt homes are decades old. Fires in L.A is roulette it isn't only rich areas or hillsides, it is a higher risk but only one of many factors. 4 Fires in 1 day is an emergency and there just isn't at present time a way to be prepared for 4 fires and red flag wind events simultaneously.

They have pulled resources from up and down the coast but it takes time to organize

The fires somewhere around 6 years ago, maybe a bit more, were the really bad ones. I remember flying down the coast on a C-2 and the shit was on fire as far as you could see. But I suppose what they really care about are the expensive homes.

If only they had foreseen this annual situation and filled the fucking reservoir.

Yeah bro, that's another issue but it sounds like they have water so far. They did recently ask for us to conserve so maybe that has changed.

Potential loss of life and property wil always take precedent, vegetation generally comes back stronger and healthier "generally"

 

[Merlin]

I still have family in Cali, though they're in Long Beach and Big Bear (discounting clan up north). But damn man fires are terrifying. Here's hoping they get this shit under control.

 

[pvtdragon39]

Last I heard the Fires are maybe 9 miles away from Sofi? Wilshire Blvd sound right?

Yeah, sounds about right, Pali is about 10 from the Wood but it just depends on where exactly it is. I kinda think the fire is moving away from SoFi

 

[Psycho_X]

100 mph winds are crazy and will just eat anything up very quickly once a flame gets going. Just insane some of the footage I've seen and very scary. The one I was watching of the guy filming inside of his house gives me anxiety. Hope the dude got the F out of there... I'm very concerned about the dog.

This isn’t just burning homes in the hills and foothills, because of 60+ mph winds the embers are traveling and burning structure after structure in the flatlands, areas not considered fire risk areas. I’ve never seen anything like this.

That's kinda my thought process to... if this is a yearly occurrence or a major incident every 3-6 years or whatever how do they not already have people prepared etc?

Also I was seeing today that they ran out of water at the hydrants.

NFL monitoring L.A. fires ahead of Vikings-Rams

As wildfires continue to devastate several areas across Los Angeles, the NFL is monitoring the situation's potential impact on Monday night's wild-card playoff game between the Vikings and Rams at SoFi Stadium.

www.espn.com

“The air quality index in the area varied Wednesday from 150 to well above 300, depending on specific locations, with smoke and ash blanketing the region. A rating of 150 is considered "very unhealthy," according to the system used to measure air pollution. The air quality in Inglewood, California -- where SoFi Stadium is located -- was 281 as of Wednesday afternoon.”


Wait, it’s still Wednesday morning!

 

[rdlkgliders]

Cal Fire was sending support on Monday due to the high wind warning. There was a move to prepare for the possibility of fires.

I don't care if you know that you have moved to an area at risk whether it is storm induced emergencies from the Midwest to the South and the Eastern Seaboard or the fires and earthquakes in the West, losing your home due to an emergency is a travesty and all who are victims of these emergencies deserve compassion.

I never thought I would say it but the Monday night game now benefits our chances of a game being played in L.A
