Well All My Gear Maybe Destroyed...

The roads in that area are very narrow. Every time I've been up there I've thought of what a nightmare it would be if a big fire broke out up there.

Was watching footage of two guys in a house with a dog that had to evacuate. That wind made it look like the fires of hell outside their windows. Like a blacksmiths' forge. Hill country man, the fires just jump from place to place. When it gets dry and breezy here we all text or call if any of us sees a smoke plume of any kind. '23 it made it to my bro's neighbor and they were finally able to control it. People move here from more lush places and will be burning big brush piles during burn bans, right underneath foliage, cognizant of nothing.
 
This link below has links to different fire dept scanner feeds within LA county. Palisades, Lidia, and Eaton are there. I use this same broadcastify to keep an ear on minute to minute here in Hays co. You'll hear where fires are breaking out and whether they are being contained or not. They have this setup already specific to LA Fire.

Hollywood Blvd is completely jammed with cars and firetrucks. Watching everything on the Weather Channel.

I just downloaded the Watchduty app.
Flying to San Diego in the morning and then driving to LA Sunday.
Our hotel is only 7 blocks east of the evac line at Montana St.


PS: California will ALWAYS have a water problem.

Hopefully the hotel is still standing when you get there. I gotta feeling there might be a change of plans with your trip. Travel safe.
 
I'm so sorry buddy. I'm glad you're safe, nothing is worth your life. Still, I really hope your home and your gear are okay. My prayers are with you.

Desalination.
 
I lived in Hollywood at the Jessica Apartments on the corner of Hawthorne and Formosa. 1 block north is Hollywood Blvd. 1 block south is Sunset Blvd.
1 block east is La Brea Ave. I started dating my wife when I lived there.
My old neighborhood is in grave danger. (Evacuation warning there now) I love Hollywood. It's an amazing town. This is breaking my heart.

Cancel that Santa Monica hotel part. Even if for some reason it doesn't get evac orders tonight, you won't be able to breathe. Your eyes will feel like you opened them in ocean water.

Man, I lived on Hawthorn and Orange from 2000 till 2011.
I really liked living there during that time.
Sending my prayers and thoughts to everyone in the area.
Hope they can find a way to control that fire, or a somehow miracle of rain in that whole area.
