- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The wildfires in California have forced at least 179,000 people to evacuate as at least three of the five fires continue to roar. FEMA officials are prepared to provide federal aid to those affected as local officials battle the blazes and looting. CBS News Bay Area meteorologist Jessica Burch has more on the weather forecast, and CBS News' Nikole Killion reports on the federal response.

Running towards a fire to steal from people traumatized is absolutely NUTS
It's immoral, too.
It happened to me. And I've had a GoFund Me up to recover my losses for a really long time; with zero support. And the government not only did nothing; they made matters so much worse. They sent people to their deaths. My experience in Maui.
That's no different from anyone taking advantage of anyone who is in a vulnerable position. Insurance companies. Employers who abuse their employees. Giant corporations that hike up fees just because they can. Companies who employ people in poverty and abuse them. Narcissistic personalities do that. Ra//pists. Child mole//sters. I'm not condoning the looters. Just telling you that barracudas target vulnerable people and situations for their own gain, and they do that every day. The looters are just the easier to blame because they are usually poor and uneducated and disenfranchised. Again, I'm not condoning looters or the corporate giants or a government that take advantage of the public.
...usual characters....
Think of it as a donation
Looters after such a devastating disaster, have to be the lowest of the low .
Really? The USA military has looted several countries.
Liberals in a nutshell
@@LifeWithRilla Was it Trump who didn't pay his contractors?
@@fallenskybirdStop getting your news from The View
agreed
Looting during a natural disaster needs to be considered a felony.
These immoral's just think 'I'll get in there while the pickens are good!'
Correction: ALL LOOTING
In emergency, isn't it moral to get food/water from an abandoned house????
Never would have happened under Bidens leadership
In California ! you can loot up to 1500$ for free. You will not get charged and no one will say a thing.
I am so very sorry for the 90 year old man that lost his home to the fire. A home he had lived in all his life. My heart goes out to him.
He was privileged his entire life. He should be grateful for all he had in this life.
While I am sorry for the 90 year old man , also sorry for that 40 year old couple with children who lost their house and every belonging and now have to rebuilt from scratch.
Regards from Kids in Gaza ! ( who never going to live a life )
@@anahata2009 what he said is also the truth that like the classic nursery song said life is just a dream.
@@Tailionis Some people just work hard while others are reparation seekers who are lazy and don't want to work for anything in life and like to cry racism.
For those looting should not see daylight ever.
Agreed BUT sadly It's LA, theyll see the light tomorrow morning when they're released 😂
💯
Yeah just like trump who was convicted on 34 felonies and tried to overthrow the government but hasn't spent a day in jail
Same for the bidens and their administration
😂😂😂😂😂 good luck
FEMA - make sure California receives the same great support as North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and others affected by Helena -
Don't forget Hawaii
What support? Lol. These folks are so rich they will probably go to their Florida home or something.
@@interpolisawesomea lot of rent- controlled apartments in this area
@@interpolisawesome Nice attitude there champ, zero compassion from you.
FEMA is effectively kicking people out of their hotels here in NC right now, saying they're done paying for them. We have people sleeping in tents in the freezing cold and there's a big snow coming tomorrow. Please be praying for us 🙏 I'll be praying for socal. Can't imagine going through a fire.
Who in the right mind would be looting during a fire? 🤔
opportunitists. Happens all the time.
It's called a fire sale silly
Per usual they have no clue
Nothing left to loot..what can they take ..ashes?
@@jasondauenbaugh Probably those evacuated but not burned.
I’m sorry to anyone who lost homes. We will do our best to rebuild as quickly as possible
Yea right. California doesn't arrest criminals. 🙄
Good luck on insurance claims 😮
The companies are bankrupting from all the disasters around the country.
A lot of the people in California can't get insurance for fires bc they are Soo common.
Hahaahha they are bankrupting bc they actually believe its smart to pay ceos 20x what they deserve. Lmao
Insurance won't pay much compared to ACTUAL losses. It's a big scam you are forced into buying. If they actually paid out what they should, it would work, but if you've ever know anyone who has lost everything in a house fire, then you know what these insurance companies do.
and good luck getting help from fema their broke or will offer $750 like they did to the helene survivors
Smartest cmment yet
FEMA promised me a temporary home or RV back in late October and I still haven’t received it; they promised to fund me to rebuild my bridge and I received like 1/10th the cost (Insurance doesn’t cover private bridge) My home is gradually failing since Helene undermined the foundation yet neither FEMA or Insurance is doing anything as their bureaucracy keeps dancing the two step with contractors. I bet they race to completely finance and rebuild LA asap, because LA is a million X more important than the Appalachians. Which I might add is Class and regional prejudice
Was thinking the same thing on them helping those who have the means themselves to do it themselves....it's how this economic system has Always worked tho sadly,only eyes+ears stayed closed is all. Whoever feeds the greed the most is of course catered to in a trickle up pyramid type of usury system ... We can't stay blind 2 what its been much longer I would hope. Whatever is fed grows,if not it can no longer exist.. Its been our consumerism that created it+keeps it growing and is why which are catered to,it's like an investment sadly
Yup, even though they really dont need it theyll get every single penny for their multi million dollar homes and this just becomes an upgrade situation while people with nothing have to fight for every single dime and recieve next to nothing.
I thought the same. I really hope not. FEMA gave me zero nothing but gave some people crumbs.
The people who dodge the most taxes receive the largest rewards. Welcome to America.
you probably applied, if you did you need not rant here! Go after FEMA!
Sad how some people are. Risk getting burned to a crisp for someone else’s belongings. Sad!!!! Condolences to the families that have lost loved ones.
Looting in California. Shocker
It happens everywhere. 🙄
A baseless and completely inaccurate comment. Shocker
Prayers to our friends in California.
Prays to our freinds of PALESTINE 🇵🇸 FREE FREE PALESTINE. WHAT YOU DO WITH OTHERS IT COMES BACK TO YOU BY THE GRACE OF ALLAH ALMIGHTY.
I'm in California..😀
Here comes that $750 , like the folks in Hawaii got....
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Yeah...RIGHT!!! 😂😂😂
But you can loot up to 1500$ and you will not get charged by law. Stealing is possible upto 1500$
@@rootreddragonsomeone didn’t get the memo. It’s now a felony to shoplift
@@HungrySlothDEFCON1 If they change the law then good for everyone and good for me too. Everything is possible in California while Dems are in the power.
California will get more than enough money from Biden and FEMA will help their own . Dale is too white & poor to see a dime but watch the rich get their share .
That is very commendable of Airbnb to provide housing. I'm impressed
Arrests only occur when the poor loot from the rich. Never when the rich loot from the poor and sick.
And that's mainly because the poor in the barrios and hoods hold to their snitches get stitches mentality and don't cooperate with police. I can't make this stuff up.
When the poor rob the rich its a crime, when the rich rob the poor its "business" as usual 😂
That'll be the next four years.
Indeed. It is evil to make money off the sick. That's Capitalism.
@@dvader3263you mean it's been the last 4 years! Where the hell you been?
Looters should do at least 10 years 🤬🤬🤬 Simple minded idiots.
STK, simple
Looters should be fair game in a situation like this. I'm sick and tired of people acting like wild animals the first chance they get.
But hey, how do you blame them if they aren't held accountable? If you knew you could go take money from the bank with zero consequences, I think we'd all form a duffle bag line.
Responsibility and accountability start at the top. Like parents who raise awful children.
To feed them for 10 years?😊
Appreciate the weather person reporting with the appropriate tone for such a tragic news event.
Don’t think this was a natural disaster
Zelensky just received 500 million dollars few hours ago 😢 what a clown world 😅
So? the Billionaire Fascists have taken over our government and are in the process of screwing Americans out of Billions!
І скільки з цих грошей підуть або дойдуть в Україну? Можливо цього пожару і не було би якщоб в наших військових було би достатньо зброї, а не ковдри і подушки які давав Обама коли починалась війна. Тиж розомієш що в світі все взаємозвязано?
Why don't you mention the billions that Israel has received for decades
Prayers up for everyone affected by this; especially the 91 year old man in the video.
💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢😢😢 my heart breaks for my state.
Prayers for the people in California.
yea like praying really helps
SAVE THE PETS AND ANIMALS❗️❗️❗️
The work boot store was untouched by the looters
Don't be so generous. They'd loot that and sell that too since they don't find a use for it
LOLOL!
Smarten up! Haven't you ever heard of EBAY?! 😂
Looters in California are not choosey.
So was the book store
Failing
Everyone
Miserably
Again
They didn’t failed me. It’s pretty straight forward. Anyone with even average intelligence that can read shouldn’t have a problem navigating the agency,submitting applications and going through claim processes.
Nice ring
@JNosewicz7569 750 to Lahaina an no rebuilding started.
My total respect and empathy for the 90 yr old man loses dale. Worked his whole life, day in day out, time he spent away from his family year after year to provide, gone in a snap. Stay strong sir.
Heartless!
I'm from Wisconsin. I am willing to protect and will help out residents.
Pick me up on yer way out if Wi. I'm willing
I just signed up on Red Cross Volunteer. Midwesteners are salt of the earth and always willing to help!
FEMA promising aid sounds similar to the promise they gave North Carolina.
FEMA? for the RICH ????
just think about all the workers that must live locally in order to serve all these rich people. House cleaners, and gardeners, etc. THINK about it for a minute.
@@californianorma876 OVERTIME HERE THEY COME
I bet LA residents will get more help then Victim of Helen
Doubtful….why would you say that false bs….please just insure your home because FEMA will not help out fully replenishing your home.
We need to organize funds to help Paris Hilton, She lost her 3rd home. So many mansions lost, donate now!!!!
I know right? Where is this poor women going to go on Friday nights? Is she expected to drive an extra 5 minutes from her other mansion on club nights? That's just criminal to expect, wheres the worlds compassion? I mean come on that could be a tiny inconvenience, we can't have that please help this women 😂 I mean sure, hundreds of poor people won't get their homes back because we gotta make sure the funds go to the Hollywood darlings but that's a small price to pay to avoid slight miniscule headaches for the elites, priorities people 😂
Please
Post the people's faces and names who are looting. I would like to know
Im sure you would.. what you gonna do about it? Say it with me, NOT A DAMN THING
Prayers for all. 🙏🏼💚🩵💙
Homeless wont be charged with Arson or Looting.
You mean politicians..
Fema did little for Asheville
FEMA did NOTHING for Ashville.
The governor should be arrested for this gross negligence. But these fools will just re-elect him.
Ask the people in western North Carolina about FEMA. I hope they do better for California.
What is there to loot? Its literally scorched earth.
Safes
Trees still standing
There are homes evacuated that are not yet destroyed
Pacific palisades are basically all $1m-$3m+ . Very wealthy people live there with designer items, jewelry and safes.
Carrying a safe from a home on fire in PP.... suspicious 😮
Like we can trust FEMA
The real looters..
I bet the wealthy la people get more than 750 bucks
They don’t need money.
@genetung8590 they will get it anyway
How? Fire can start 8 different places at the same time?
This is California's North Carolina ' let's see how this one turns out .
Probably worse. They'll get $200k for their $2M value home.
We gave North Carolina the shirts off our backs ---- what are you going to give us?
This couldn’t be happening to a better governor
Cannot believe how people can take advantage of folks on such situation…
Guess who
Just use a tax write off we all know government bends knee to you guys
Or are you not smart enough to figure that out
This Breaks my heart.. I am praying from the eastcoast
Amazing heroism and tragic loss. Being an outsider watching from Europe, this seems to happen every year? If so, why?
It’s a dessert. In a 20+ year drought. With a vegetation overgrowth and more than 10 million people. Add the Santa Ana winds and a small spark will light the whole thing. Climate change isn’t just a theory. We’re living through it as we speak.
Why did Germany shutdown all of their nuclear power plants? Stupid people are in charge everywhere.
Government incompetence. The Mayor cut the Fire Department budget by 17 million dollars.
@arneliakshort You should have stopped at, "It's a desert." Skip your B.S. about Climate Change 😂
Do some real journalism and tell everyone why these fires can't be stopped.
Why don't you tell us, Ivan, since you're an expert in conspiracy theories with your Q-quack honorary degree. 🤔
There have been plenty of reports with critiques of the mayor and Newsome. This is just another piece of the story.
Geo-engineered!!!
Our governor invited Biden exactly when Newsom needed to cover disbalance in budget 60$ bn. He neede this emergency so badly, that’s why they didn’t shut it down from the very beginning 😮😮😢😢😢
Always nice to see that the Internet has made so many people more intelligent. 🎉
INVOICE the state of California for FEMA assistance. The extent of destruction is a direct result of gross negligence by leadership. Need to start holding states accountable.
Newsom needs to go! Governor should know better than to blame it on the “local folks”. If you have any decency left, you should quit, Newsom.
Lord be with the families of the 5 that have lost their lives. Prayers from Oklahoma!
As a lifelong liberal Democrat it's sad to me to see the FEMA decrepancies between the mega rich Malibu/Hollywood elites response and the pitiful help the hurricane flood victim received.
II it's only been one day. They barely responded, plus they are attending to victims of an urban fire along usable paved roads and standing infrastructure, unlike the rural areas that were most impacted by Helene, much which were washed away. Plus, they had to wait until water receded.
Attending to victims of winds and floods are much more lengthy compared to attending to victims of winds and fire.
Elections have consequences! You get what you vote for!
Doubt that you're a liberal. Liberals don't talk like that nor would they mention that they're liberal in the first place.
Youre right, FEMA isnt telling firefighters to leave because they have it under control, right? FEMA isnt turning AirBNB aid away huh? Well see how many people living in tents that lost their homes FEMA tells to pound sand - here's a few hundred bucks good luck. 👍
FEMA will give you $750.
Awful situation.
God's punishment knows no bounds for the sins of America.
Gavin Trudeau needs to resign and pro DEI Bass too!
bot-bot-bot
Home ownership the biggest Myth that ever was.
Thankfully I've never owned a home
You’ll get your 700 dollars
If you qualify
Where was the help for North Carolina!!!? Despicable!
Good, please save your children from this ugly situation 🙏
Let him save the animals first 🙏🏼 only 5 humans passed.
Many have lost everything .
And there’s scumbags or whatever you call them trying to take whatever Is left. Sad!
Any PICS of the looters?? Of coarse not
Politicians to blame for this. The greenies who didnt think you should clear 'brush'. The stupid woman who defunded fire depts etc. Hope you all sleep well at night
Deanne Criswell FEMA director: they are going to talk a big game. But in the long run they are going to do crud . People in Tennessee & North Carolina are still waiting for help !
Extremely sad. God bless everyone in California and speedy recovery
Do you know who’s biggest looters!
Investment firm.
We’re going to take advantage of all those people who had their fire insurance canceled
Yup but you see MORE THAN ENOUGH people commenting about arresting the small fish.. just know the people who make the comments probably own a store and help our government with their war on the common man
I am sorry to anyone who lost homes
I hope people will feel for Gaza how they have lost their roof ,children and homes.
From what was said, to even be in the area looking at the destruction can be considered looting if one does not live there.
HELP APPALACHIA.
If anything I hope it creates awareness of how many people who have lost everything because they can’t afford rent etc also have a trauma response. If anything good can come out of this maybe they’ll realize that yes bad things can just happen…
I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! but thank you for being so optimistic.. words of wisdom for you, people are stuck in their ways and won't change YOU better adpat
Apparently 42 square miles on fire??? That's a lot of land flattened...
It's always been a DESERT! It's just reverting to It's natural state! 😅
Fire has right to defend itself
Thank you to the people, nonprofits and companies like Air BnB for supporting those who lost their homes!!!! 💜 (also thanks to the fire fighters)
This is the darkest day when Los Angeles became a mirror of Stalingrad.
...we are from the government an we are here to help you .
Scarier than a Stephen King novel.
I feel for the people of California My wife’s side has lots of family there and they have been lucky so far God bless California and keep everyone safe
Just the beginning be prepared
Prayers to my friend on Fire🙏♥️
Wait till the squatters move in ! It takes 7 months to get a order to get them out and thats just a written notice to vacate.
Just MOVE TO YOUR 15TH HOME mr. JEFFERSON what the issue?
FEMA has the funds to help CA, but not NC? Got it
keep voting democrat ladies.
Weird how dems are responsible for natural disasters in Cali, but also responsible for natural disasters in Florida. Thankfully Trump will be in office in just under 2 weeks and natural disasters will immediately cease across the nation. Can't wait.
Yeah, and never mention accountability for the disastrous inability to protect the American taxpayer in California!
They will get the $750 check IF ! They qualify, just like NC
The people in Hawaii needed help, the people in North Carolina, Florida and Georgia needed help. Why would you think California would be any different? We will see where they find money.
DEI fire chief needs to be fired.
Unbelievable looting??? HEARTLESS.
Whose son or daughter wakes up and says let’s enrich ourselves by capitalizing on other peoples life horrors. Who is making these humans?
"Could it be...satan?!".
@ 🤣🤔
Your so out of touch it's not even funny.. the fact you think somebody who is looting even speaks like that speaks volumes upon you who's to even say that they have homes and you also say wake up what if they're homeless and have been up for days?
You don't know so stay in your place
It’s not looting , it’s reparations .
The issue of looting is so insignificant when the entirety of southern California is turning into an ash tray.
Agreed
I know
But they will have hou believe it's the biggest issue at hand... at least the comments suggest that... AGAIN PRIVILEGE
FEMA promises $750 each so that should help you build back
FEMA should only give 700 dollars like they did to the people in the Carolina's who lost everything in the floods 😢
That was Maui.
If the homeowners voted for Kamala !
That's exactly what we expect ....not much! Just like the firefighting a big fat zero. Had to try saving my own house at the risk of arrest because no one was doing anything!
$750 was immediate, no forms, no waiting. Money for food, gas. Per person? It’s not a maximum, it’s a floor to help with the next few days.
No Mike $700 was the initial payment and a further $213m has been allocated to households in Carolina for disaster relief. And while we are on the subject Trump has Billions and Musk $400 billions. All we heard from Trump is that Newsom didnt sign a water bill that did not exist while Musk is busy trying to get Nazi's freed from jail. How much money are they giving? ........crickets
Prayers go out to all those who have lost their homes.
🙏
Why didn’t Airbnb step up with North Carolina also?
Blah blah blah you don’t prosecute criminals
You can't even stand up for yourself.. I literally take the words you say and they go in 1 ear and out the other.
But they needed new shoes and new TVs. Its society's fault, not theirs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
They were looking for diapers and bread😂😂
