A massive fire erupted Saturday along the 14 Freeway in San Canyon, California. 30- to 50-mph winds ensured the quick spread of the fire, which soon reached Angeles National Forest. Since then more than 3,000 firefighters have fought the blaze, which has destroyed more than 35,000 acres, containing 25 percent as of Tuesday morning. Powerful photos of the blaze, dubbed the “sand fire,” have been flooding social media. Check out 20 such photos below and see more on Instagram #sandfire.
Scary and dangerous but so fascinating and beautiful. I felt so helpless looking at the town below. #sandfire #santaclarita

Great picture from the San Fernando Valley by Scott Kolanach. Blazing skies and miles and miles of nature burning up between days of policial conventions. If any picture defined our month right now, this picture of the liquor store neon clown with his drum is the single best. Body language may say one thing, but….. #sandfire #sanfernandovalley #clown #circusliquor #fire #scottkolanach #blazing #blazingskies #losangeles #california

#SandFire #Farrakhan warns “Now it’s your(whites) TIME to SUFFER the CONSEQUENCES of your EVIL. And even though there’s a CHANCE for you to ESCAPE those consequences. Because what you did was Divinely given to you to do—and you have fulfilled your role. NOW, The Mercy of God is asking you IF you would like to be a part of that which He makes new? OR do you still want to fight God over your place? If you do, this is your END. Now, when you were in Arabia, after you were made Caucasian and you started making trouble there, the King rounded up all that we could find, and drove you across the desert, 2,200 miles into the hills and the cavesides of Europe where you went absolutely savage. It was 2,000 years that you were in the caves and hillsides of Europe until #Moses came to civilize you. But the Honorable #ElijahMuhammad said that some of the Caucasians were hidden by the Original People in Arabia, and they grew right up under us. And your #Bible teaches you in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 6, verse 2 that: the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair, and took them to be wives—and race-mixing began on the Arabian Peninsula. By the time Moses came there were hundreds of thousands, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad said, of Caucasians on that Arabian Peninsula! And one among them was a King among them; he was called Pharaoun… And he was so smart and so tricky, he was about to trick the king of Arabia! But they caught up with him and his tricks, and they were about to destroy them; they said, “You have to leave here…,” so they asked the King, Pharaoun: “Where would you like to go?” And he said he would like to go to #Egypt. It wasn’t called Egypt at that time, but that’s how the Caucasians got into Egypt: They were SENT there. And then The Pharaoh of Egypt enslaved them! And Moses, then, had Two Jobs: He had to bring the cavy out of West Asia, Europe as it is now called; and He had to guide the Caucasians that were in Egypt out of Egypt—they were just a few hundred thousand in number.” @louisfarrakhan : The Time and What Must be Done pt 19 #barlovento #Afrovenezuelan #NicolasMaduro @zendaya
