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.

Oh wow! I sure hope it shows up on your pic. It sounds so beautiful. Here it is just lightly tinged with almost a gold color. Nothing at all as dramatic as you all are seeing though.
Fantastic.
Dang maybe we need to start electing more LE to public office, they can get a job done.
I am going to be patient and wait but as all of you I want to know when they have a news worthy report when the creeps are behind bars.
I was wondering that too....
Thanks, how sad...
Are you very close to 1000 Pines/Grass Valley/Miller Cyn area?

Oh for Chinese and Rice.
Unbelievable.
How come PETA isn’t pitching in and helping yet they are fast to sue.

Do you know if that is being aired online? (I doubt it). I only have access to t.v. if it’s (free) online; no cable hooked up to t.v. here. I saw Charlie Gibson earlier on 10news I think, which I’m now watching the emergency update, with the fire chief and I think the police chief was on earlier....
He’ pandering....I didn’t see that part....
Spitzer is on KFI live....trying to save his job.
