Joe Rogan’s prediction about a catastrophic wildfire in Los Angeles has resurfaced following the devastating Pacific Palisades Fire. The podcaster, who moved from California to Texas in 2020, cited wildfires as one of his main reasons for leaving the state. Rogan, who experienced three evacuations during his time in LA, once shared a firefighter’s chilling warning that the “right wind” and “right conditions” could spark a fire that would burn through the city to the ocean.
In past episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan described witnessing fires destroy homes near his property and often expressed concerns about California’s susceptibility to wildfires, worsened by climate change. Guests on his show, including environmental experts, had also warned that the frequency and intensity of such fires could escalate dramatically in the coming decades.
The Pacific Palisades Fire has validated these fears, with thousands evacuated and homes destroyed. Additionally, homeowners in fire-prone areas are finding it increasingly difficult to secure insurance, leaving many without coverage for their losses.
Rogan’s earlier remarks have sparked discussions about climate resilience and preparation, particularly as Los Angeles faces mounting challenges from natural disasters. His decision to relocate has reignited debates about the sustainability of living in wildfire-prone regions.
