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.

I’m so sorry you are in such a precarious situation. Have you heard anything? Or are you back home?
I don’t see why we don’t have the death penalty for arson, especially this kind. It’s no different in effect from terrorism.
No...I don’t know that I have a home to go back to from what I’m hearing now. I’m sure for many of us it’ll be days we’re gone before anyone can try to get back in. The fires are now coming around from another direction to areas they thought weren’t going to be hit anymore. This is bad.
Make that ‘San Diego County’ in that last one..
I’m so sorry to hear that. I will pray that your neighborhood was spared from this disaster.
