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.

Good! As far as I could tell, we didn’t get any of the C130’s here (East Chula Vista)...saw only the choppers, but man, did they do the work.
I may have just seen one .......
I say if he is guilty without doubt give him a surfer’s wetsuit and drop him with 1500 gals of water into the disaster he caused.
Then the State and Federal govt need to ignore the enviromental groups about clear cutting dead timber and growth.
Along with that investigate (if he is tied to a eco group) all the places they get there funds for and use all monies and future monies to restore the communities that have been devastated.
Thank you, I’ve bookmarked to look at more later. It does look like good healthcare...

Seeing or hearing them roar by/over brings alot of comfort.....
Excellent! Our fire danger is very low right now. Better to deploy the equipment where it's needed.
113 homes have burned at Lake Arrowhead.
send some rain too
Do you know how Arrowbear did today?
ditto...Seattle can spare that too!
More annoying are the reporters interviewing evacuees claiming “There is frustration, some people have tried to find out about their homes, but the police have closed the highways, so there is a feeling of helplessness”
No there is not! Everyone is thankful there has been limited loss of life. The stadium is well organized, people are helping one another and cleaning up after themselves. I have seen no whining, or looting. Civilized, grateful, resourceful Americans - what a concept!
