Los Angeles DUers- fire in the Sepulveda Pass

THANK GOD it's not windy!!!!!!!

They evacuated the Getty.

How far am I from the fire?

Sounds like it's more toward the Santa Monica side - this is where the 405 goes through the Santa Monica Mountains/Hollywood Hills

I just asked a neighbor. He said exactly what you said.

TY

Wow! You guys beat the San Joaquin Valley.

...I wouldn't expect it to last the night.

Rush hour traffic is fucked though

.

Like I said below, traffic is fucked (don't even try the 405,101, 5 or 10) but this isn't going to burn long (much better terrain than the San Gabriels)

.

Sepulveda, over the hill to UCLA

traffic

Sadly, the one at Griffith Park a few years back was way worse. Then again, I was a lot closer. If it was coming from Sepulveda then it's probably as awful.

It is in the area of "carmageddon", thru the Sepulveda pass. No winds which is great. They will probably be able to put it down pretty fast. 10% humidity though and pretty darn hot. Fire season is here.

--CBS 2 News at 5pm.

They actually made an exception to a woman handling them.

We should all meet for a drink someday

but not today probably!!

About Drinking Liberally:

"An informal, inclusive progressive social group. Raise your spirits
while you raise your glass, and share ideas while you share a pitcher.
Drinking Liberally gives like-minded, left-leaning individuals a place
to talk politics. You don't need to be a policy expert and this isn't a
book club - just come and learn from peers, trade jokes, vent
frustration and hang out in an environment where it's not taboo to talk
politics." www.drinkingliberally.com

Drinking Liberally is separate from our group, Los Angeles Progressive Friends, but still a fantastic opportunity to meet more great progressives. DL Westside meets on the fourth Wednesday of every month.

No Meetup fee required for this event.

107, nomex UGH.

Regardless watch for the winds and where they go... and keep your eyes peeled to local news.

Oh and due to temps. yes mom, go ahead... keep yourself hydrated even if not close to that mess.

Man, I loathe fire season.

It's from kcrw

We could see smoke in the sky but could not tell where it was coming from-----

too close!

We had no idea ~

Super Scoopers dropping water, and the lack of wind, they got it taken care of pretty quickly.

But it sure made an unholy mess out of traffic this evening. A friend was going to come up from Santa Monica after work but he cancelled. I couldn't see any way he could get up here in under 2 hours, if at all, lol.

and in this heat, yuk!

but not even close to beat.

Just asked hubby, and it's closer to the 405 than the five on the Hollywood side.

He is a tad more familiar.

Literally within feet of the freeway.

The only conceivable effect on LAX would be from traffic slowdowns, but the 5pm news live shots showed all lanes of the 405 open, even while the fire was still going.

And poor fire resources...wait...this is LA not SD...

Don't ask. But damn they get touchy when you bring this up. Again, don't ask. Propper conditions we may see it go through downtown San Diego.

Hey, at least that could be a good series of photos...

miles and miles and miles of city.

Urban areas at risk.but hey, you got a county FD.

Again, don't ask.
