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.

How are you doing now, Argus? Hope you and yours are doing okay.

That's also near Old Meadows Park, which is a very lovely little park. Are you getting any smoke from the fire near Moorpark?

Pretty sure Goldie Hawn is on our side and maybe some others too. I'd rather see our enemies succumb to the facts than to fire.

Another poster was speculating on why the fires moved so fast, and whether locals opposition to fire breaks, brush cutting/burning may have contributed. Where? Exact wording? I did not see that nor respond to it.
To: ErnBatavia
My condolences and sympathy on the passing of your Father, Ern. Prayers extended for you and your family. God Bless you.

chief-Fire not laying down but air attack having a huge effect on the E side near the homes..but most air units grounded after sunset
To: pollywog
Winds will tie down prior to sunset and then pick up as the land cools below the ocean temperature...I assume it might change direction....
