Starting on January 7, 2025, an ongoing series of catastrophic wildfires have affected the Los Angeles metropolitan area and surrounding regions. The fires have been exacerbated by very low humidity, dry conditions, and hurricane-force Santa Ana winds that in some places have exceeded 80–100 miles per hour (130–160 km/h). As of January 10, the wildfires have killed 11 people,[3] forced nearly 180,000 more to evacuate, and destroyed or damaged more than 13,400 structures. Most of the damage has been done by the two largest fires: the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire.[4]

Er bringt es schon auf den Punkt, nur glaube ich nicht, dass #NSABook a la #Facebook nun der Hord des freien Denkens ohne CIA/NSA-Ueberwachung ist.
