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.

The diocese would be lost without the service of retired priests. We have 3 serving at our parish, in addition to our pastor.
Looking West, now blue sky down to the huge orange-brown band on the horizon. Wind is still blowing with very strong gusts.
From that link.....what a mess. Is this still closed?
Re: Devore fire.
Interstate 15 in both directions has been shut down. The northbound 215 has also been shut down at the I-15 interchange. Traffic is backing up keeping emergency personnel from reaching the scene. Firefighters are using surface streets.

Canyon Country looks bad. L.A. County Fire Inspector Ron Haralson states “several homes threatened” via KABC news now...
Fast moving Agua Dulce fire and fire line is growing quickly. Fire is close to homes in Canyon Country now. Evacuations ongoing.
Yes, winds forecast to continue for several days the last I saw at least thru Wednesday...
Hope the residents there have taken their pets and valuables out of there. The fire on that hill above them is too close.
Indeed.
