The wind is so fierce it is kicking up storms of embers that whirlwind around lighting trees and homes on fire making more ember whirlwinds and so on.
Right now at midnight the fire has been raging for 13 hours virtually consuming Pacific Palisades and now there’s an evacuation order from Santa Monica starting about a mile from my house. The fire is still more than 2 miles away but the wind is not abating. I wish I could find an update on the Getty Villa since I’ve been seeing conflicting reports. Update: 10am on the 8th, tv news is reporting except for some landscaping, the Villa is ok.
