rejectomorphIt's really sad that I've found something to do this morning, because what I've found to do is follow the bad news from Los Angeles. The fire in Pacific Palisades has spread down to the Pacific Coast Highway and obliterated miles of landmarks, and it appears to be heading toward Malibu where it's likely to do more of the same. Even sadder for me is the fire that started in Eaton Canyon and has already wiped out a big chunk of Altadena, a place I've known since early childhood. Evacuations have been ordered in neighborhoods as far west as Glendale.
The most recent reports I've seen from reliable sources say this fire had already expended to more than 10,000 acres about three hours ago. Unverified Idernet gossip is claiming that such significant landmarks as Pasadena High School are gone, but the losses verified by photographs are bad enough. These include a significant number of businesses along the North Lake Avenue commercial district in Altadena. The wind is expected to continue, so odds are a lot more of the town will burn.
The current fire videos I've seen are way too much Deja vu for me. I found this video of Eaton Canyon from last year which is much nicer. It won't look like this again for a long time, I fear. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2231956734/posts/10159109814496735/
