The fires devouring the Ventura and Santa Clarita highways and hills are racing toward the 405 Freeway.
The busiest freeway in the country has been closed.
The commute is down, the road is closed.
It's pretty terrifying what the fires look like.
See this tweet from a commuster driving north on the 405:
Driving through the valley of the shadow of death this morning, also known as the Sepulveda pass of the 405 where wildfires are raging. #abc7eyewitness #wildfires #SkirballFire pic.twitter.com/G6daomkw29— Caitlin Oishi (@caitlinerin) December 6, 2017
This is insane.
I would have never believed that a fire of this magnitude would engulf key sections of Los Angeles County. The state of California is in complete ruins as it is, and now we have public safety officers and leaders who cannot assure our own safety!
This is insane. When does this corrupt malfeasance and incompetence end? California lawmakers were supposed to be raising money from bonds to store water to prepare for these unprecedented droughts, dry spells, and fires. We experienced an epic rainfall earlier this year, and yet there's no water to put out these fires.
No one is taking concentrated steps to irrigate the dry areas throughout the state of California. Isn't it stunning that the most liberal sections of California, the West Los Angeles area and the Bay Area, have endured some of the most devastating wildfires in the state's history? They have voted for and pushed for the anti-safety, anti-environmental laws, and now they are experiencing the direct consequences for these poor decisions.
