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.

Thanks for info. I sure remember the Cedar Fire... This reminds me so much of that. This year in total may be worse than that, don’t know...

Just hoping it’s a different one than where my friend lives. People are losing homes all over. Very sad.

Thanks for all the updates and links everyone. My Father-in-law and his wife live in Cardiff so I am really trying to keep a close watch.

Been watching the coverage by Sacramento TV stations.

Several cities/towns up here in the Central Valley are sending fire trucks and personnel.

As for me and my family, we’re sending our prayers heavenward.

What is a Dolphin sticker?

It's probably a parking pass, but so many people down below have Greenpeace, "I heart dolphins" and "Save the Whales" bumber stickers on their cars, it just struck me as really funny.
