Joe Rogan predicted the LA fires with scary accuracy in a podcast episode last year.

A clip of the podcast host has since gone viral after the wildfires broke out in California earlier this week.

As local firefighters continue to tackle the huge blaze, people were shocked to find a resurfaced clip of Rogan discussing the possibility of a similar disaster during a recording of his podcast last year.

In the clip, Rogan said: “I talked to a fireman once, this is one of the reasons it freaked me out, and he was telling me… he goes, ‘dude, one day it’s just going to be the right wind and fire is going to start in the right place and it’s going to burn through LA all the way to the ocean. There’s not a f***ing thing we can do about it’.

“I go, ‘really?’ and he goes, ‘yeah, we just get lucky with the wind. If the wind hits the wrong way, it’s just going to burn straight through LA and there’s not going to be a thing we could do about it because these fires are so big.”

Rogan went on to say that he was ‘talking about thousands of acres that are burning simultaneously with like 40 mile an hour winds and the winds just blow embers through the air and those embers are landing on roofs and those houses are going up and landing on bushes and those bushes are going up’.

He added: “Once it happens in a way that’s so spread out, there’s nothing they can do.”

Now, it seems like this grim prediction has unfortunately come true as the fires have started to spread amid a windstorm.

Speaking to The Washington Post, climatologist at the University of California John Abatzoglou said: “The fuels remain very available to burn as Southern California has yet to see the arrival of winter rains, leaving fuels parched after one of the warmest summers on record.

“If the region would have had even close to normal rain this fall and winter, we would not be dealing with these fires.”

Alex Hall, who is a climate scientist at the University of California at Los Angeles, added: “To have almost no precipitation at this point in the year is very unusual for us.

“Typically, we have our first rains in November … and it’s enough to quench the thirst of the plants that have been dormant for much of the summer.”
