An aerial photo is bringing into focus just how devastating the California wildfires truly are. The pic shows a large section of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles County with almost no homes standing. It looks like the area has been nuked.
Take a look.
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ 🚨 HOLY CRAP. Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles is GONE. 📸 @KitKarzen
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ 🚨 #BREAKING: Up to 75% of Pacific Palisades has been completely leveled by fires, per ABC7.
This is terrifying.
There is no end in sight, as the fire is STILL spreading, and is 0% contained.
Air assets are stretched incredibly thin, as other fires continue popping up in the region.

Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ Unfortunately, it’s very real. Pacific Palisades is no more.
SouthHamptonUpper1 (@SouthHampUpper1) ~ Appears to be at Bashford and Hartsell. 30 square blocks wiped out.
Reportedly 75% of the town has been wiped out. With fires mostly uncontained and no water to battle the flames, that percentage is sure to go up.
Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) ~ Wow. There is literally nothing left.
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ And it’s not over. I fear there will be nothing left in Pacific Palisades by the time this is over.
USA_What_the_Hell! (@USA_WTH) ~ I don't know about all those people. But, I would take it as a sign and get the hell out of that state.
We can’t imagine many of these people will stay behind to rebuild, especially with incompetent Democrat leadership that refuses to do anything to stop it from all happening again.
AlphaFođť•Ź ( @Alphafox78 ) ~ If only there was some way this could have been avoided ...
There was ...
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ Maybe electing leaders who aren’t willing to let Californians DlE just so they can fulfill their own political ambitions. That’d be a good start.
Cory Corson (@Cory_Corson) ~ This didn’t need to happen, it just goes to show what terrible things can happen with bad leadership and policies.
Eric B (@Oflululemon) ~ Pacific Palisades is unrecognizable. This is devastation on a scale that’s hard to comprehend. Sending love to everyone affected — stay safe.
The legacy media is desperately trying to shift responsibility away from the Democrat Party which is clearly to blame for all the destruction. Many hope this is a wake-up call for voters to abandon the party. But, we’re not getting our hopes up.
