Oh, man. Prayers for all in its path and for fire fighters. What a symbol of loss and climate change, should the Tahoe basin burn.

You and the Sierra Club are too blame, don’t assume we as humans are causing this! Get it?

    Wow. That's a shockingly ignorant comment from someone who clearly doesn't understand science.

      I'm not ignorant. and I get enough so-called science that I don't trust your BS climate change, or magnetic vaccines so the government can track me or cancer causing 5G wireless. I'm 68 and haven't gotten covid yet, and haven't given it to anyone here in Murphy's. Just let me live my life, preach in my church and keep my guns.

        Oh, dear. This guy is the full package. The Republicans have found their Governor to replace Newsom with!

        Ironic if he were to be hit by an electric car being driven by an Afghani refugee.

        But back on topic.. Tragic news for our brothers and sisters in the Tahoe Area. There but for the grace of Allah go I, I suppose. Prayers for the higher fighters and those displaced..

          I bet your main concern today is "I hope the suicide bomber that killed our troops was wearing a mask" "Would hate for them to catch COVID"

          I just want all you libtard flatlanders out of here. We can take care of ourselves. You come up here every weekend with your fancy cars... well, we don't want you. We used to have a nice little God-fearing community, now I've got people of all different colors and religions all over my store every weekend asking for 'vegan this' or 'low carb' that. WE DON'T NEED YOU IN SONORA.

            You're being sarcastic. You honestly don't believe any of this that you're saying. We're not falling for it.

              Honestly? I think I know this guy. And he is EXACTLY this way. I won't say the name of the shop but think 'just off Washington, Near Gold". You know who I'm talking about.

            Dude - please stop telling people you're a republican. We're frantically trying to rebuild the brand away from the crazy nut job wing. After getting our asses kicked in the last election we need to project an image of sanity. And this doesn't help..

    Why would you say that? Now is not the time for sprew your political views while the bloody state is on fire. And because nobody else seems to have shared the news, I suppose I have to.

    Climate change? That was us. Democrats. Republicas. Chinese. Canadians. Finnish. All of us.
