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.

My B-I-L says they cleared everyone from Steele Canyon HS last night. There shouldn't be anyone using it as an evacuation center.

You are absolutely correct! (see post 2557)
Hunter also said there are six National Guard C 130s retardant-dropping airplanes headed to Point Mugu from Wyoming, Colorado and North Carolina that should arrive around 2:30 p.m.

He packed up the car just in case. He has some art work and told my mom, “Well, I can grab it in 5 minutes if I have to!” She was said, “If fire is coming, just get out! Insurance will pay for that!”

He’s a very spy 86. His area is fine and was not part of the mandatory evacuation. No one has have grass or foliage and I believe either metal or tile roofs.

Spitzer? the Gov. of N.Y.

The only battle going on is the Republican Mayor and the
Left Wing Democrat City Atty. Aguirre who is a freakin idiot. He has cost the city millions of dollars in
bogus litig.
The liberal news folks side with him against the Republican Mayor.

Just like the Liberal MSM sides with the dems against Bush.

There are choppers all over the place including Navy ones here.
Have been watching them the past few days on TV.
They high winds have grounded some of the fixed wing and some choppers at times earlier.

We are still packed up (well, except for the 4 cats, heh)! It’s a little concerning with the winds shifting and Escondido and Lake Hodges in trouble again so tell him to stay packed for a while!
