When he issued an early warning about the LA wildfires, meteorologist and climate scientist Edgar McGregor, who has since been dubbed a “hero,” has saved hundreds of lives.

On January 7, McGregor posted on the Facebook’s page Altadena Weather and Climate that people shouldn’t go to sleep but pack a bag and evacuate.

His post is believed to have reached a number of people who have actually listened to his advice.

Now, this meteorologist speaks of the warning sign he noticed before the LA wildfires broke and destroyed hundreds of homes, businesses, and important landmarks.

“I knew on 30 December that when this windstorm hit, the conditions would be carbon copies of the conditions that were on the ground in Lahaina, Hawaii, and in Paradise, which both were completely levelled and lost around a hundred people each,” the McGregot shared with People.

“I told people, if a wildfire breaks out, there’ll be a thousand homes burned down. This would be cataclysmic.

“I knew that that warning might’ve been a little bit excessive, but as it turns out, a thousand homes are not even a fraction of the loss, the ones that were lost.”

Ever since his post attracted plenty of attention, the meteorologist is sharing updates about what he things could happen next regarding the raging LA wildfires that have claimed the lives of 24 people.

He believes that the “immediate threat is over” for the most part. However, if there isn’t rainfall soon, Hollywood and Santa Barbara could “face disaster” within weeks.

In the next couple of weeks, if we get another major windstorm, it could be Hollywood that faces disaster next. Santa Barbara. Any of these foothill towns. And then when it rains, we have the mudslides to get through.

“This is not over yet.”

McGregor added: “I knew this was coming. I certainly didn’t think January was the month it would occur, but I hope that I did my job in warning everybody.”
