UPDATE: The city of Malibu is advising residents in Puerco Canyon to begin evacuating due to a wildfire driven by powerful winds. This area is north of Pacific Coast Highway and about 1 mile west of Pepperdine University. Residents along the beach on Malibu Road may soon be evacuated. Pacific Coast Highway is closed between Kanan-Dume Road and Topanga Canyon. Residents are advised to head to the west. Evacuation centers are being set up in the Zuma Beach area.

A wildfire driven by powerful winds in the Malibu Hills this morning threatened a university, destroyed at least one home and forced the evacuation of hundreds more, authorities said.

First of all, only a minority of Malibu residents are what you refer to as "the beautiful people." And secondly, having one's house burn down is far more than an "inconvenience."

Somehow I doubt you'd be writing "burn baby burn" if one or more of your loved ones lived in the area or were a local firefighter.

KCBS was not scheduled to air a game @ 10.00 am. Raiders/Chiefs is scheduled for 1:00 pm.

KABC has blown off NASCAR coverage to cover fire.

Remember the firefighters who died in the last Malibu firestorm, one who survived a great while and finally succumbed.

Ironically, yesterday I passed by the Grossman Burn Center, not my usual route.

You obviously haven’t read the whole thread, or the post from Al that I was responding to.

What is it with people and their kneejerk posting?

I’ll reserve my compassion for innocents suffering real misfortune not waste it on “the beautiful people” suffering an inconvenience

Are you for real? Are you saying the people whose church is burning to the ground deserve it? Plus what did Mel Gibson do to you? You say the most insane statements.
