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.

Leo’s a very lucky man. He has found his one true calling, is very good at it, and shows every indication of enjoying it thoroughly.

Yow, what a mess

KFI speculating on when FF decide to give up fighting an engulfed home; whether the homeowner is justified in being upset when the house is worth the millions that we're talking about here. ???

That's the intersection/exit right before my old one....that whole area is a wind compression tunnel as the air tries to squeeze thru the Newhall Pass.

I'd always say, "The wind doesn't blow here - it sucks"

When the next tornado touches down in the Midwest and “destroys at least one home” I’ll gloat about the fact that it happened to people who aren’t me and therefore deserved it.
