Hundreds of residents remained evacuated from the California coast Sunday as a wildfire burned up from a canyon near Big Sur, shutting part of the state's historic Pacific Coast Highway in both directions.

A reduction in strong winds allowed firefighters to gain better control of the flames early Sunday, Cecile Juliette, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, told The Associated Press. The blaze, known as the Colorado Fire, has burned through 700 acres and was 35% contained as of Sunday evening , according to CalFire.

  1. Remember God loves you!!!♥️
    John 3:16
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    please turn your life around and repent🙏
    the clock is ticking

    1. @Day Old Doughnuts you mean suffering and death are everywhere you look even animals who never sinned. And according to the book you and I are the same as say Ivan the terrible so it’s about death and we are all dying

    2. @Doug Cabell Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.
      Abraham Lincoln

      Take a step back and see what is good. What have you done to make something good today?

    3. ​@Day Old Doughnuts Our creator is not the evil, vengeful, egotistical butthead portrayed in the bible.
      You ever been dead? Until then, you’re all just guessing or holding onto somebody else’s guess.
      I’ve been there.

    4. @IcantSignIn if he was vengeful, we would not have the scripture written by his appointed prophets. What would be the point?

    5. @Day Old Doughnuts help veterans almost everyday since God isn’t helping them. Both with money and my time

    1. That’s the name of the canyon it started in. If you read the background, you would have seen that. Doing some research helps.

  2. You know about every other country in the world but don’t know what’s happening in your own country karmapayback

    1. They won’t because they want people to be this is 100% because of climate change and a way to continue to attack energy producers.

    2. @robert green , Not so. The fires have been an annual event California for very many decades. The info is online.

  3. I was stationed in Cali for a couple of years. Big Sur was one of my favorite places. I’m so sad to see this happen.

  4. They really need that giant fire fighting plane back up in the air and putting out fires or just let California burn mudslide earthquake it’s self till it’s no more

  5. We pray for all those that have been affected by this wildfire while in this desperate moment let keep earning Bitcoin is the future I started investing in Bitcoin last year and I am dept free now you can do it too I pray anyone reading this should be successful

  6. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
    But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant.
    For those who exalt themselves will be humbled,
    and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.

    YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IMAGE in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below.
    You shall not bow down to them, or worship them,
    for I the Lord your God am a jealous God,
    punishing the children for the sin of the parents
    up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
    but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me, and keep my commandments.

    If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

    AND WHEN YOU PRAY DO NOT BE LIKE THE HYPOCRITES, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, to be seen by others.
    Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

    BUT WHEN YOU PRAY, GO INTO YOUR ROOM,
    close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen.
    Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
    And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need, before you ask him.

    This, then, is how you should pray:

    Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
    Give us today our daily bread.
    And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
    And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

    For if you forgive other people when they sin against you,
    your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
    But if you do not forgive others their sins,
    your Father will not forgive your sins.

    “Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway”, we can use google search.
    These are the teachings,
    The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
    REPENT, and start doing what is right.

    If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples;
    then you will know the truth,
    and the truth will set you free.

    Yet a time is coming and has now come
    when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth,
    for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
    GOD IS SPIRIT, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.

    In the New Heaven and the New Earth,
    only Righteousness dwells.
    May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.

  7. Worked as a park ranger for 4 years.
    I am NOT gonna tell you in how many ways a forest fire can and has started or how to prevented.
    WHAT I AM gonna tell if one dumbass customer who said to me “You know it is the Democrats starting the fires. What better way to make money?”.
    I told him “I am glad you are not my accountant if that is your best idea”.
