Joe Rogan’s Wildfire Prediction Haunts Los Angeles
At the time, it seemed like a random conversation on The Joe Rogan Experience. But now, his words feel disturbingly real as California burns, leaving devastation and heartbreak in its wake.
What Did Joe Say?
In a July 2024 podcast episode with comedian Sam Morril, Rogan recalled a firefighter’s ominous prediction about wildfires fueled by dry conditions and fierce winds. He described how these fires could grow so big and fast that they’d be impossible to stop once they started.
Fast forward six months, and his warning has come true. Wildfires, including the massive Palisades Fire, have torched thousands of acres, displaced over 150,000 residents, and left authorities scrambling for answers.
The Podcast That Everyone’s Talking About
Joe’s podcast is trending, with clips of his wildfire predictions flooding social media. Some fans are calling him a modern-day prophet, while others are shocked by how accurate his warning turned out to be.
It’s not the first time Rogan brought up wildfires. Back in 2018, during an episode recorded amidst fires near his Bell Canyon home, he spoke about LA’s vulnerability. In 2019, he discussed climate change predictions about California’s wildfire risks with journalist David Wallace-Wells.
California Ablaze
The wildfires have claimed at least 16 lives, with officials warning the death toll could rise as firefighters access harder-to-reach areas. Thousands of homes have been destroyed, and entire neighborhoods have been wiped out.
The Palisades Fire alone has burned over 23,000 acres, forcing evacuations in upscale neighborhoods like Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. Meanwhile, the Eaton Fire has left a similar path of destruction in Altadena.
Social Media Reacts
The internet is buzzing. Fans of Rogan are flooding platforms like X (formerly Twitter) with posts such as:
“Joe called it. LA’s been sitting on a powder keg for years.”
“Why didn’t anyone listen to Joe Rogan’s wildfire warnings?”
Critics, however, point out that experts have been issuing similar warnings for years. They argue that systemic neglect and lack of action have left California in this dire situation.
Joe Rogan: Right or Lucky?
Was Rogan truly ahead of his time, or was it just a lucky guess? Either way, his words now hang heavy as Californians face the reality of living in a state increasingly defined by mega-fires.
As LA struggles to contain the flames, one thing is certain: conversations about wildfire prevention and climate change are more urgent than ever. Thanks to Rogan’s podcast, these issues are once again in the spotlight.
