UPDATE: The city of Malibu is advising residents in Puerco Canyon to begin evacuating due to a wildfire driven by powerful winds. This area is north of Pacific Coast Highway and about 1 mile west of Pepperdine University. Residents along the beach on Malibu Road may soon be evacuated. Pacific Coast Highway is closed between Kanan-Dume Road and Topanga Canyon. Residents are advised to head to the west. Evacuation centers are being set up in the Zuma Beach area.

A wildfire driven by powerful winds in the Malibu Hills this morning threatened a university, destroyed at least one home and forced the evacuation of hundreds more, authorities said.

Not going to be a good week, all around.

From the website:

Population: 40,000 plus.
Ramona is the fastest growing unincorporated area in San Diego County. In 1979 the population was 12,000; in 1990 - 27,930.

The Ramona fire was started by downed power lines.

I live in Valencia...the winds were very strange last night and today, one minute they would be blowing N to S and then all of sudden do a 180 and blow S to N.
What's freaking me out is the 60ft tree in my front yard. I have one of those big trees that you see along McBean Pkwy.

Correct, they’ve turned both 78 and 67 into one way only out of Ramona.

Advisory evacuations for NE Poway AND parts of Escondido (San Pasqual Valley area primarily, it sounds like) so far. But things aren’t sounding great in Poway at the moment, and that seems to be their next area of concern beyond this immediate concern in Ramona.

The ash at my house is unbelievable and I’ve not been able to see my car from my front porch since 2:30 this afternoon from all the smoke and soot in the air. And I’m about 3 miles from Poway.

Poway/Ramona school districts are all closed for tomorrow.

You stay safe up there! So far, no ash falling in Santee yet. The winds have been gusting wildly though. Smoke smell is getting stronger as the wind gusts harder.

It’s going to be a long few days I’m afraid.
