Another two weeks predicted before total containment. The fires are almost spreading faster than right-wing lies on Twitter.

I liked Malibu, when you mentioned the Pacific coast Highway, I just realised that one of my fave places to visit while in SoCal, has been reduced to ashes, Moon Shadows restaurant. My wife and I loved going there and SFC it's such a shame what has happened.
SoCal is going to look quite different the next time we visit.
most of the houses are timber, meanwhile in Japan:

It was spectacular in early 2023 due to having had rain and everything green (as I mentioned, detest brown desert stuff). And, sadly, this is what is burning now. But I moved my brother to the East Coast last summer, got him a small condo in the same development our mother lives in that has a meal every day and lots of other services because he cannot really live without substantial support these days, brain never back to 100% after removal or nuking of 2 giant, two large meningioma tumors. However, his daughter still in Camarillo which had dangerous wildfires in December that I was watching as he is probably too clueless to follow the news. I am glad he is gone from there, our other brother cleaning out his apartment was hard enough, evacuation in a wildfire...total nightmare (yes, for anyone, I get it, but he is not firing on all cylinders these days and might even be hard to convince him to leave if he has no clue).
Always the case but it is also the case that the charity work you see in the mainstream media ignores everything other than these big stories. Disasters here every week and masses of help driven by sympathy to go with it. I am sure the same happens everywhere. Never makes the international news.
Poor bastard - lost his medals in the fire; 5 gold.
He said he fled taking only his dog, the insulin he uses to treat his diabetes, a painting of his grandfather, and a religious artifact.

Lots of looting happening. You'd expect that with the hundreds of thousands of homeless in the great state of California.
