"Los Angeles is on fire. "
It's been up in Ventura, Simi, etc... but now it's across from the Getty, burning homes in Bel-Air. And the winds will be rough til Friday. Scary, scary stuff.

when I bought my house it said we lived near a flood zone. Not in but NEAR. If we had lived in we would have had to buy extra flood insurance before our loan would have been approved.

19. "I'm in Brentwood below Sunset. No evacuation call yet." In response to Reply # 17 Wed Dec-06-17 06:41 PM by Frank Longo
The evacuation zone is only about a mile north of us though. We've got go bags and we're ready if shit hits the fan.
Would *really* prefer to not have to evacuate, obviously. But better to evacuate than to be, y'know, burned. Probably not going to sleep much the next couple of days.
My office is in Valencia...Rye Fire I live in Northridge, red circle in the image...bookended by the Creek and Thomas fires ...now the Brentwood fire has me boxed in to the south...
Office closed yesterday...but we're open today...air is pretty good up here
...but in the valley and west LA looks like a constant dust storm...
IDK, I'm usually dismissive of these things...but after the Burbank fire not too long ago...feels like they get closer and closer

I'm also out of town so it's kinda a good time to not be in LA. It is insane though. I grew up in Simi so I'm used to fire season (though I've been lucky to never be in a dangerous area) but this is next level.

Their house was about 200 yard from burning up in Murrieta. They have a beautiful home. Found the piece of land up on a hill and built from scratch. The thing is there is a lot of brush around his home. Especially since the nearest neighbor to the left or right is about 500 yards away. But this guy has a small excavator and he gives himself a 100 foot fire break twice a year. I just got in touch with him via text he said the minute the fire started he was on that excavator and was extending that break as far as he could. The fire never reached it. But it might have saved his home if it did. He said from the fire starting to mandatory evacuation he had maybe 12 hours notice. He is retired police and his wife is a cop right now. So they had plenty of friends helping them get out essentials. Drove past their house today after the road reopened and could not believe how close that fire got to them.
