Nature has taken a pretty good toll on a big chunk of concrete near me, but it is in direct contact with the ocean on one side, and nature on the other… it was abandoned in the 80’s.

There are some of those around here as well. Wooden structures do not fare well once the upkeep ceases. Nature takes over pretty rapidly in the very fertile valley soil.

That joke isn’t funny in this context
Both goals came after Luton lost captain Tom Lockyer early on after he collapsed on the pitch but the defender was taken to hospital where the club have confirmed he is “responsive and talking” to his family.
Then six months later
Is the risk of lifelong health problems really worth it?

It always strikes me that people claiming that anthropogenic climate change isn’t real because the climate changes naturally are akin to someone saying, “People die of natural causes all the time, therefore murder can’t exist. Ignore the 30 knife wounds in the guy.”

1200+ acres burned/burning as of 6:30ish EST, and they’ve closed parts of the PCH.

Looks pretty bad and with the winds, like it could get worse.

At one point over an hour ago, an on-scene reporter said it might just keep going until it hits the ocean

The air quality is so terrible and we’re about 35-40 miles south of this fire. We almost never get the winds in our city (they always go north and south of us), but we’re getting them now.

D showed me the air “quality” map, and we couldn’t believe how far south the gunk’s going 
All blessings to you and yours, and all affected!

I thought that bit burned in the summer time.
Waking up.and seeing this was somewhat odd…

Maybe what’s now burning is what got missed last time

Thanks! We’ll be fine, but I do worry about the people who are close to the Santa Monica and San Gabriel Mtns.
I hope @Otherbrother, who I believe lives in a foothill community closer to Altadena, is doing okay.

Thanks, evacuated with the family last night. As far as I know my house is still ok, and is about 2 blocks outside of the mandatory evacuation zone.

Good to hear that you’re doing well. I figured that you’ve been busy monitoring the fire. Woke up this morning to see that it’s moving both east (your way) and west, and more foothill communities were ordered to evacuate.
Fingers are crossed and wishing your home stays safe.
