Friendly reminder to NOT give your babies a suffix in their legal name. Please.

I don't have enough documentation to be called "Jr" nor do I have enough documentation to NOT be called "Jr"

I literally don't know my name

The fires are mainly up where the rich people live. I'm safely an hour or so south of that. Depending on which direction the wind blows, I might get a coating of soot on my car and backyard though.

The winds have been insane though. I had to tape down the doors of the fuse box from the back of the house because it kept getting open and slamming against the wall. And moved or weighted down all the trash bins and planters so that they don't blow away.

We found this in our time capsule from 2000 - it was a very popular campaign, we Canadians loved it. I am so proud to be Canadian.
I know some here are going to jump all over it because they won't be able to help themselves....

Irony is that the Calgary Flames are in Los Angeles and their game has been postponed

Palisades fire is feasting from the winds today, shot up to 12k acres burned. Unfortunately they wont be able to get any real containment until the winds die down and planes can get in the air

Hopefully the winds calm down soon. The people I have heard from are all saying the same thing about the wind. It is so hard to watch.

My wife's best friend and the Godparents of our first child live in Altadena. She's a nurse and he teaches band at the local high school. Far from rich people.

They're in a hotel right now, and the fire is on their street. Not looking good.

I think we're past the "the fire is only burning rich peoples homes".

I'm seeing eldery folks stuck in houses. Nursing homes, etc.

It's horrifying.

And there's no water. 0% containment. When this is all said and done? It's not gonna be pretty. More deaths to come.

So sad.

Encouraging news is the winds dipped enough for water planes to start flying

Rich or not, losing your home, sense of security, and personal belongings is terrifying.

Yes, some folks will have the resources to rebuild more easily than others, but seeing your home burn to wildfires hurts regardless of your tax bracket.

Seriously, this - the flying f*** would wealth status even be brought up for

About time.

I'm still baffled by the lack of water coming out of the hydrants. I listened to the scanners last night and these poor firefighters were bewildered.


My parents says it reminds them of the great Chelsea Fire of 73.

I find the homesteading/prepper crowd on youtube to be fascinating. Not going to lie, if I could live on even an acre of land, I'd have a massive garden and greenhouse to grow my own fruits and veggies and learn how to can.

When I was growing up we had a huge vegetable garden. Mom taught us how to can and how to make jams & jellies. Good stuff to know.

Woke up to a terrible skunk smell in the house. Apparently one is trapped under the house on my neighbor's side. She heard it crying and trying to get out. The smell is so bad, she said when she got to work her coworkers told her she smelled like skunk.

The landlord is on his way to figure something out. What a day.

Easy way to keep a skunk from smelling.....hold it's nose....

This is from November

That stuff puts me into a zoned out dazed feeling
Can't take it at all

Sounds like they are bringing in firefighters from all over CA to help

Fire crews and planes from Nevada, Oregon, Arizona and Washington are on scene or on the way as well

My really dear friend just moved back to Mass. from Altadena. Her old neighborhood is gone. She has fewer friends who still have a home than those who don’t.
