Researcher since 2009 re bare o'head aluminum power lines ability to spark ferocious PREVENTABLE wildfires in strong hot dry winds. DMs open now, 11jan25

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

Good fire investigators, quizzed by tech-savvy journos w good #BSfilters, are IMO likely to discover 1 or more #LAFires were sparked by aluminum incendiaries from o'head power lines. Historical .au evidence re #line_slap: https://t.co/Z9rXZwwYXj #LAFires @LADWP

@newscientist @jess_marnich Someone tell that to #thetaliban #Afghanistan

Cruel but fair. 😂

Scott Morrison says he is struggling with every inch of his being not to go on a two-week holiday to Hawaii, wait for the Los Angeles fires to be over, and then fly to the city to forcibly shake someone’s hand.

@sunriseseachday @LisaDNews You ain't seen nothing yet. #dystopia on steroids is slated to kick off on 1/20. Sit down shut up and hang on.

@islandlulu @sandibachom Indigenous tribes probably told the first Euro invaders not to settle in such a tormenting place. Never been, but good days must outweigh bad ones.

Pigeon pair nesting for many weeks in my grape vine, sheltered in patio. Sad to report that three hatchling pigeons had to be buried today. Parents had departed 2 days ago. No sign of life, bad odour, fly blown, eeeew! #birdflu? One success last year, same nest.

@sandibachom @cfa_updates #bushfire #wildfire #fireprevention #gfdi #ffdi #climatechange @CommissionerEMV under the old CFA Act. Rees coulda marched into power company control centre and ordered them to cut rural power 2009-2-7 under S. 30 (1) (d) exercising his auth to PREVENT fires. Can U?

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@sandibachom the take home message is shut off electric power whenever #SantaAnaWinds gusting to over 55mph and the power lines, with luck, WILL NOT SPARK, so will not ignite fast fires with ember attacks. #fireprevention #LosAngelesFires /4

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

err, the vid is actually here https://t.co/wfqpqGjh2X it's 13 years since I posted that. #nuclearsafety or #nookuler_safebreaker or free nuclear energy from that fusion reactor in the sky?

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@RNBreakfast Prof Tony Irwin, ANU: "Fukushima-Daiichi reactors had H2 explosions." BUT #3 looked exactly what I'd expect of #DCH direct containment heating predicted in '80s by CONTAIN modeling of #GE_Mk1. H2 isnt black! This was MOX fuel, it badly contaminated #USSRonaldReagan

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

Note STRETCHED contrast but ONLY to offset the atmospheric haze from a very long-distance telephoto media monitoring shot of the stricken Fuku-Daiichi reactors. I turned 50Hz fields of interlaced .au TV capture into lo_res 288p frames in this 25fps slomo derivative. #analogPAL

@NWSLosAngeles @Live2teachLives ... the sensible version

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@NWSLosAngeles @Live2teachLives does the above help? Map detail ^^^

@nenshi @cathmckenna United stand, divided fall.

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@SashaBaroneMN @ScuderiaFerrari @Charles_Leclerc @LewisHamilton yep if that img was an angle grinder sparking furiously I guess ..... ;-) OTOH how about the Eaton fire "possibly" being ignited by #line_slap #clashing or other faulting of power lines hit by fierce #SantaAnaWind gusts? #electricitydistribution #Al_incendiaries

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

sorry @sachastrebe for spam. My target was @SachaStrebe . Pray for LA.

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@sachastrebe thanks. First hand eyewitness accounts, video footage with intact metadata should be reported to local fire investigators, who are duty bound to impartially assess all possible causes,eg dry lightning, arson, and incendiary Al particles at ~3500°F #lafires

The angels are grieving, weeping, crying for LA, in its existential crisis today. This 2014 img I snapped at a @ClimateGuardia event on the steps of the https://t.co/IMewcfdf6m legislature almost a decade ago. #LAFirestorm2025 #lafires2025 @agreenever not in shot but 1 of them.

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@lilsquirt72 @LosAngelesATF FYI how South Australia mitigates fire risk from #line_slap during #SantaAna type winds. Since ~1983! After your objective evidence gathering, this may or may not be relevant to #lafires2025. Start here for 10mins approx https://t.co/irhT4gosGK

[Michael Gunter @voltscommissar]

@lilsquirt72 Agreed, we are all gonna fry, but let's not rush. There's compelling evidence from South Australia that wildfire ignitions from powerlines are PREVENTABLE. Too hot dry and windy? So cut power until wind drops <63km/hr! #QED link next .../2
