Ehhh my big Mac is extra crispy and I only wanted it crispy!
That looks absolutely epic
A gif that perfectly represents what it’s like in America these days.
gif? It’s a still image for me on Voyager.
On Boost it’s a video with sound (really!).
Video with sound to me on voyager. Hit play?
Hm. Works on another device where I’m not logged in to an account. Couldn’t make out any settings that differ that might cause it.
No play button or anything. Just a static image.
Weird.
Needs someone driving by on their way to work
That’s a hot McFlurry
Sorry, ice cream machine broke
They can now legally be fixed by third parties.
Someone from the Hell department came to fix it!
Holy shit, I mean I’d already known palm trees are like candles but they are like firefrackers in harsh wind!
70mph wind gusts is barely shy of a CAT 1 hurricane. When we get those, we just shoulder shrug. But in Florida the wind is driving rain, not fucking FIRE.
Even worse, a hurricane doesn’t build on itself. More fire, more heat, more fire, more wind, more fire, rinse and repeat.
Firestorm. Now imagine trying to run away from the fire and being sucked back in by the vortex.
This is not actually a firestorm - the wind is external to the fire, it’s Santa Ana winds - hot dry desert air blowing in at high speed, any fire that starts in these conditions gets driven by these winds and spreads incredibly fast and is very hard to control.
“Would you like fires with that?”
“Would you like to supersize your fire for 50 cents extra?”
How much to take them back?
Is this wind intensity caused by the fire?
It can be, but I don’t think it’s the case here - we have Santa Anas with sustained 40mph winds and 100mph gusts in some areas, and that is without any fire. The wind is also caused by the air moving in from the inland deserts that is very dry (often <5% humidity) and hot as well due to compression heating.
There are reports that the Palisades Fire grew from 10 acres when it began to 200 acres in just 12 minutes, due to conditions like this.
That’s between 8 and 10 on the Beaufort scale, holy mother of holy mothers!
that looks so badass tho
Isn’t it Burger King who is supposed to be the one with flame grilled burgers?
McDonald’s had to step up their game somehow, but I think they went too far…
This is not a timelapse?
There’s audio, this is real-time.
You can also see the vehicles in the background.
Yes I know, this is just the sound my brain makes when it is pleading with my senses to tell me I’m not seeing what I’m seeing.
This is the Eaton Fire in Pasadena and surrounding areas - video from here
The real question is,
Is wafflehouse open?
(Or maybe wafflehouse doesn’t have any locations there because they know better…)
Edit: looks like the furthest west Waffle House in the contiguous “lower 48” states is in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nope, none in California.
