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.

Polly, I totally understand.
Btw, I am a Los Angeles native born at Queen of Angels back when. I know your area and I love it, love the Southwest Museum, Mt. Washington, etc. I grew up near Bullocks Wilshire west of downtown, back in the day of streetcars.

Actually I did see a woman whine about having to leave the Manchester Grand Hyatt....there is a convention due to start tomorrow at the convention center just down the street from this hotel, and rooms were booked previously by conventioneers. Woman felt the Convention center should have had the pending convention cancelled.
Arrowbear seems to be doing okay, I haven’t seen or hears any reports of homes burned there yet. Right now the Slide fire is running south from Fredalba, down the slope toward Highland.
Agree, I've seen nothing but cooperation from those involved on the local live media reports...
Thank you!!!
