“Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! God will exhaust His wrath upon them and no one will be able to escape so many afflictions together. Our Lady of La Salette 19 Sept. 1846 (Published by Mélanie 1879)
“What countries shall be preserved from such calamities? Where shall we go for refuge? I, in my turn, shall ask, What is the country that observes the commandments of God? What country is not influenced by human fear where the interest of the Church and the glory of God are at stake? (Ah, indeed! What country, what nation upon earth?) In behalf of my Superior and myself, I have often asked myself where we could go for refuge, had we the means for the journey and for our subsistence, on condition that no person were to know it? But I renounce these useless thoughts. We are very guilty! In consequence of this, it is necessary that a very great and terrible scourge should come to revive our faith, and to restore to us our very reason, which we have almost entirely lost. Mélanie
The homes of celebrities including Chrissy Teigen, Paris Hillton and Chelsea Handler, as well as a vineyard belonging to Rupert Murdoch, have been evacuated as LA firefighters struggle to put out fires that are ripping through the Los Angeles area.
Four Southern California wildfires were joined by a fifth outside Los Angeles's exclusive Bel Air neighborhood - where at least six properties have been destroyed - on Wednesday, as high winds spurred on the flames.
One well-to-do resident was seen having a fireman load up her Bentley as she prepared to flee the neighborhood - where homes cost an average of $3.3million - while firefighters tackled the fearsome blaze.
The growing fire was nearing several A-listers mansions including homes belonging to Teigen, Hilton, Handler, Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon, Maria Shriver and Heidi Klum.
'Never thought I'd get to actually play what I thought was a hypothetical game of what would you grab if there were a fire. So far all I have is Luna, some limited edition Oreos and my Spike TV award,' Teigen tweeted as she evacuated.
She added: 'We are fine and we will be fine. Thinking of everyone else affected and continuing my lifelong intense love of firefighters.'
And Handler tackled the fires with her usual wry humor, writing: 'Just evacuated my house. It's like Donald Trump is setting the world on fire. Literally and figuratively. Stay safe everyone. Dark times.'
Meanwhile Rupert Murdoch's vineyard estate - which is one of the most expensive within the Los Angeles city limits - was evacuated before blazes burned down a temperature-controlled wine storage shed holding an unknown amount of wine. Murdoch purchased the property in 2013 for $28.8million. Source
