The Eaton fire was at ~500 acres when I went to bed last night and is now currently at 2,227 acres. Yikes.

Worst part is at wind speeds like that all the fire crews can do is manage disaster and try to save lives.

At a different time and place people are going to have to look at how Southern California landscapes these areas which contributes to these situations. These trails of unkept or barely kept up vegetation that line and surround houses and neighborhoods need to be looked at and how they can be better managed. Thinking about my brothers house in LA. There are so many green spaces with piles of vines and bushes that if this started in his community it would look exactly like what’s happening there

Just refreshed the dashboard and it’s listed at 400 acres. Not sure what’s going on with the fire dept data entry team. Think maybe they entered the updated Palisades acreage on the Eaton fire bc when I last checked, it showed Eaton > acreage than Palisades which made me think ish got really out of hand overnight.

In the land of CGI, you wouldn't even think that was real if you didn't know it was real.

There have been reports of looting and I'm like, Looting what? There is nothing left to loot.

I am really unfamiliar with these area names out there. I kept hearing what I assumed was "Hearst" and then when they showed the map, found out it was really "Hurst".

Yeah, it's not just cutting the brush and vegetation down, you have to cut it back and then REMOVE it. I mean, even I know that.

We’re located at the blue dot. We’ll be monitoring the Hurst Fire today. Just outside of the current evacuation order.

Stay safe! Which direction would you head if they require you to evacuate?
