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.

My sister was hoping the people who bought her horse were able to get him out Ok, she did say the Indio site was open. She used to show him there or something.

Still praying for all in CA.

Is that high school on Steele Canyon Rd? If so, it is directly south of my sister's house.

[calcowgirl]

Or, maybe not! I hate this coverage... they may have been showing pics of Running Springs, not Santiago.

Regardless, stay safe!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Isn’t Highland down in the valley?....not sure ....

[Brad’s Gramma]

Shut up or I’ll teepee your house.
