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.

Are people letting their horses loose if they can’t evacuate them? I think that I would let my horse loose if I couldn’t get him out... Actually, I might be inclined to mount up and head for the ocean.
My sister is fairly certain her place will be burning...under mandatory evacuation. Luckily my sis is a part timer and in Utah now.

Esp for the evacuees with extreme health issues that require a more controlled enviroment.
What is the weather like temp wise? A reporter says it is getting a little on the warm side in the arena.

Is he saying the state legislature changed their resource order this morning? I am a little unclear.
I dunno, it’s not particularly productive at this point. In a couple of days, sure, do what you have to do.
Today it’s just whining in the face of an emergency.
