THE LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES

Jan 1, 2025 – G4 CLASS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Auroras spilled across the Arctic Circle, spreading as far south as Mexico, Colorado and Arizona during an intense geomagnetic storm.

Jan. 4, 2024 – G1 CLASS GEOMAGNETIC STORM – As predicted, a CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on (0445 UTC) 6 hours of bright auroras were mainly confined inside the Arctic Circle.

JAN 5, 2025 – HEAVY SNOW HITS THE UK – Thousands left without power. Manchester Airport and Liverpool Airport closed for several hours due to snow this morning, urging passengers to check with their airlines for the latest flight information while their teams work to clear the snow.

Jan 5 2025 – HEAVY SNOW HITS THE USA – one of the strongest winter storms in more than a decade. The storms span from Colorado to Washington, D.C., and the worst of it is still to come across the Midwest and Mid-South before heading east toward Philadelphia and the I-95 corridor.

Jan 4-10 2025 – SANTA ANNA WINDS – The 2nd geomagnetic storm increased the momentum of the moving air mass, and the Coreolis Force, curved the air mass trajectory towards LA, pushing back the high velocity interface with the mid latitude air mass until the electrified air mass reached LA where high winds and static charges ignited the fires.

January 7 to 31 – THE LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES – A series of 7 destructive wildfires affected the Los Angeles area. The fires were exacerbated by drought conditions, low humidity, a buildup of vegetation from the previous winter, and hurricane-force Santa Ana winds, which in some places reached 100 miles per hour. As of January 31, the wildfires have killed at least 29 people, forced more than 200,000 to evacuate, and destroyed more than 18,000 homes and structures.
