Resurfaced clips from “The Joe Rogan Experience” show that the mega podcaster has been warning that the “right wind” will catch one of California’s many wildfires and “burn through LA to the ocean.”
Rogan, 57, was eerily wearing a Los Angeles Fire Department shirt while speaking with fellow comic Sam Morril in July and was sharing why he left Los Angeles — one of the reasons being that he was always “waiting for the next fire.”
“I was evacuated three times from my house from fires,” Rogan said. “Last one, two houses in front of my house burned to the ground.”
Roughly 100,000 LA County residents were forced to leave their homes and flee to safety as wildfires rage Wednesday across the Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas.
At least five people are dead and thousands of structures have been destroyed.
As of early Thursday, nearly 27,000 acres (42 square miles) had burned in the Los Angeles area.
