Last I check, the fire doesn't seem to be moving in my direction but I talked to a few people and have a plan to evacuate my animals if necessary.

I've been shit postin' a lot. Just be ready ready freddy. All those folks pushed out will grow exponentially depending on where the fire spreads. Even during hurricanes we leave the coast in my area a few days early even though the storm swells aren't there.

 

[Swingletonthesimpleton]

So. Basically this is the cumulative outcome of every democrat problem combined into one giant shit storm

Nigger mayor fucks up money then
Fucks off

Governor gives shit to dead fish and ukies

Junkies and niggers stole the fire hydrants

Plants that are burning their oils because of ecofaggots that bitched anytime someone tried to remove them

Electric cars that are burning and giving fuel

And stupid California policies that fucked up fire safety

And now literally all of this has whipped up the perfect storm to achieve total Cali death

Eh. A little early to post this.

The sunset fire is actually losing steam before it hits any houses and the wind is dying down too.

My kinfolk are in Idaho and we're fucking tired of Californian faggots but we'll be happy to let you crash in a motel or something for a few weeks. Just get the fuck out of California, now.

Texas, especially Dallas, was ruined by all of the Katrina refugees who never returned. Godspeed to you and to anyone else who takes in these people.

Celebrities among those who lost homes as devastating Los Angeles fires​

— Wildfires that are burning in and around Los Angeles have burned the homes of several celebrities, including Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton.

California firefighters are battling wind-whipped fires tearing across the area, destroying homes, clogging roadways as tens of thousands fled and straining resources as the fires burned uncontained Wednesday.

Crystal and his wife, Janice, released a statement Wednesday saying their home of 45 years in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood was lost.

“Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this,” the Crystals wrote in the statement.

Their neighborhood is a hillside area along the coast dotted with celebrity residences and memorialized by the Beach Boys in their 1960s hit “Surfin’ USA.” In the frantic haste to get to safety, roadways became impassable when scores of people abandoned their vehicles and fled on foot, some toting suitcases.

“Evacuated Malibu so last minute,” wrote Hamill in an Instagram post Tuesday night. “Small fires on both sides of the road as we approached (the Pacific Coast Highway).”

Less than 72 hours before, Hollywood’s highest-wattage stars had convened to walk the Golden Globes’ red carpet, the first major event of the exuberant and, for many, triumphant awards season. The revelry of awards season had quickly been snuffed out, too: Premieres of contenders like “Better Man” and “The Last Showgirl” were canceled, the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were announced via press release instead of at a live event and weekend events like the AFI Awards were preemptively scrubbed.

The Oscar nominations are also being delayed two days to Jan. 19 and the film academy has extended the voting window to accommodate members affected by the fires.

Here’s how celebrities and entertainment companies are being impacted by the fires burning in and around Los Angeles:

Stars who lost homes in the wildfires​

Moore lost her home in the Altadena neighborhood near Pasadena.

“Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for all so many have lost, including my family. My children’s school is gone. Our favorite restaurants, leveled. So many friends and loved ones have lost everything too,” the actor-singer wrote on Instagram in a post that included video of devastated streets in the foothill suburb.

“Our community is broken but we will be here to rebuild together. Sending love to all affected and on the front lines trying to get this under control,” Moore wrote.

The Crystals expressed a similar sentiment about the Palisades. “The Pacific Palisades is a resilient community of amazing people and we know in time it will rise again. It is our home,” they wrote.

Elwes, the star of “The Princess Bride” and numerous other films, wrote on Instagram Wednesday that his family was safe but their home had burned in the coastal Palisades fire. “Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire,” Elwes wrote.

Hilton posted a news video clip on Instagram and said it included footage of her destroyed home in Malibu. “This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London,” she said, referencing her young children.

“The devastation is unimaginable. To know so many are waking up today without the place they called home is truly heartbreaking,” she wrote.

Stars who have evacuated due to Palisades fire​

Jamie Lee Curtis said Wednesday on Instagram that her family is safe, but she suggested her neighborhood and possibly her home is on fire. She said many of her friends lost their homes.

“It’s a terrifying situation and I’m grateful to the firefighters and all of the good Samaritans who are helping people get out of the way of the blaze.”

Other stars who have homes in the area include Adam Sandler, Ben Affleck, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

Many are awaiting word on whether their homes survived the flames.

Woods posted footage Tuesday of flames burning through bushes and past palm trees on a hill near his home. The towering orange flames billowed among the landscaped yards between the homes.

“Standing in my driveway, getting ready to evacuate,” Woods said in the short video on X. Later, he confirmed he had evacuated and added: “It tests your soul, losing everything at once, I must say.”

Impact of the fire so far​

More than 1,000 structures, mostly homes, have been destroyed, and more than 130,000 people are under evacuation orders in the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena, a number that continues to shift as new fires erupt.

The fire burned down Temescal Canyon, a popular hiking area surrounded by dense neighborhoods of multimillion-dollar homes. Flames jumped famous Sunset Boulevard and burned parts of the Palisades Charter High School, which has been featured in many Hollywood productions including the 1976 horror movie “Carrie,” the 2003 remake of “Freaky Friday” and the TV series “Teen Wolf.”

The Palisades fire also destroyed the historic ranch house that belonged to Hollywood legend Will Rogers. It was among multiple structures destroyed at both Will Rogers State Historic Park and Topanga State Park. The historic Topanga Ranch Motel, built by William Randolph Hearst in 1929, also burned down.

Rogers’ ranch, built on land he bought in the 1920s, occupied some 359 acres in what is now Pacific Palisades. It included a 31-room ranch house, a stable, golf course and riding trails. His wife donated it to California State Parks in 1944.

The Critics Choice Awards, originally scheduled for Sunday, have been postponed until Feb. 26.

Film studios canceled two movie premieres due to the fire and windy weather, the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park closed for the day due to the smoky and windy conditions and the J. Paul Getty Trust said two of its museums, the Getty Villa and Getty Center, would remain closed for the next few days.

Universal Studios also canceled shooting for numerous series, including “Hacks,” “Ted Lasso” and “Suits LA.”

The Walt Disney Co. closed its headquarters in Burbank, and canceled production on several series, including “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Doctor Odyssey.” ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” which tapes in Hollywood, was canceled for Wednesday and will instead air a repeat.

The production pauses added to further disruptions to the film and TV industry in Los Angeles, including the cancellation of the premiere to Universal’s “Wolf Man” and postponement of the American Film Institute awards gala, scheduled for Friday.

time to turn the ol' money printer back on

It will be under Trump, I'm not sure there will be the political environment to, like, double the deficit over California fucking itself with a flaming dildo. When push comes to shove I don't expect the federal government to let the insurance sector get raw dogged to that extent, but in the short term they'll probably get fucked.

 

[Dafuqisdis?]

The apocalypse is cancelled for tonight. It looks like the hollywood fire is dying out.

That would have been what they should have done, yes. But that would have required they pick some 10-30 million dollar mansions -- dozens if not hundreds of them -- and bulldozed them. The DEI fire chief would never allow that, the mayor would never sign off on it, Newscum would never allow it, and the private security forces those mansions have would have shot them if they tried.

Instead, they let it burn and left it all to random chance. Because it's the dumbest fucking thing possible to do, but it also removes all responsibility from the people involved.

There are embers being blown everywhere, it definitely isn't confirmed arson just cause some twitter rando said so

im not trying to draw unfair parallels but all these female "leaders" hurt my very soul

 

[Hooked on phobics]

If you're in the area, get the fuck out. Just pick a region and drive. My kinfolk are in Idaho and we're fucking tired of Californian faggots but we'll be happy to let you crash in a motel or something for a few weeks. Just get the fuck out of California, now.

This is emotionally conflicting for me, I hate Californians in general, especially LA, but I feel this will effectively make an inter-state refuge crisis. I hope san fran or whatever deal with them instead of pawning them off EVERYWHERE else. I don't want these people to die in mass or anything, but I also don't want tons of Californians moving in nearby.

HOLY SHITBALLS, PARIS HILTON LOST HER HOUSE?

 

[There She Glows]

He's always given me good vibes. He might be lot.

I'm a big david lynch fan so I was all ready to learn something horrible about him but all the women he's worked with speak very highly of him and many of them became lifelong close friends so I'm optimistic.

 

[Yours Truly 2095]

not an insurer but we called our broker earlier about shopping around for our commercial policy here in the midwest (it's gotten to be the largest expense for my building) and he warned me not to get caught doing some comparison shopping because every big insurer is itching to drop people the minute they can.

of course, this could be our broker talking shit to get us to not move policies but the impression i get is insurance is having a hard time making money when 1 in 100 or 1 in 500 events are now 1 in 20 or 1 in 50.

They absolutely are. They seem to only want to insure new construction. Which is ironic considering it's awful. It's going to bite them so hard. The roof is the big thing right now. Simply it being x years old despite condition can get them to fuck you. I've heard of them randomly sending people out to reinspect current policy holders homes and dropping them mid winter because of their roof. Nobody's doing roof work during that time! Just be careful. They are out for blood right now. I'm also not an insurer or anything. Just life experience recently

Is there a livestream somewhere of the Sunset Fire?

Would be ironic if it spread to the touristy Hollywood Blvd stuff, including the LA Fire Department Museum

How far (or close is) Brentwood from these fire? I ask because Joan Crawford's Brentwood home is located at 426 N Bristol Ave. If that gets burned, all little hope is gone.

I think it all started when some niggers were on a crime spree during covid and she had the "fascistic" take that brutally assaulting women was bad. Her entire fanbase almost burns her alive, because niggers beating up women is totally fine, as long as it's niggers doing it, because "oppression".
