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.

A heated pool?? No, I was not aware of that. Something tells me that Brad’sGramma has more than one limo. Either way ... lucky you to have experienced it.

Thanks for the clarification.

I thought that second martini had kicked in pretty hard.

No work tomorrow so I’ll park here for another hour.

We never see anything like this in the Midwest.

Sometimes a small grass fire in spring and dozens of volunteer departments respond.

Over in a half hour.

Stephen John Banker was just telling me about your pool. An olympic sized pool in your limo. Harumph!

Ceiling fans and the stand-up kind will help a lot. Also when you go outside, wear a dust mask.

That was the first thing I thought of when they said PHS was being evac’d now, too...I take that way to work (down Espola up the grade towards Ramona) It doesn’t take much to make it a mess and slow........
