Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

From frontlinewildfire.com, the "Rossmoor incident" was discovered at 4:03 PM (or 1:03 PM, not sure how time zones are handled). Map says it hasn't been put out yet.

They say this is a wildfire, but it's pretty far from the other fires. Could be an arsonist taking advantage of the circumstances to start a fire on the base. Or maybe a 6-52nd crewmember forgot to put the pin in and the plane dropped a flare on something flammable.

It's like that bus-tram thing that was supposed to be the future, that futurists were cooming over, which turned out to be located on a fake segment of road in the middle of the countryside.

A lot of high-profile Chicom innovations turn out to be PR for less flashy industrial stuff, and mostly ends up as vaporware.

Look Familiar at all?

This is the part of the PCH where, In GTA 5 you see Micheals boat going northbound and the chase sequence begins.

Or at least the part of LA its modeled and condensed into

In a weird way gta 5 has a preserved in amber, high fidelity, high detail, explorable map of a SUPER historic area that is simply wiped off the face of the earth.

That may seem silly or inconsequential now but imagine if video games existed thousands of years ago and we could see a highly accurate, if condensed version of Rome as she was in her prime.

Gta 5 may offer archeologists more value than an entire political system.

Y'all jumping to conclusions of arson need to realize that small fires happen all the time. When the entire city's resources are devoted elsewhere and there are huge wind gusts, those small fires aren't taken care of in a timely manner and turn into big fires.

One of Los Angeles' two lesbians bars announced it will close due to wildfires​

One of Los Angeles’ two lesbian bars announced that it would close permanently because of the effect of the wildfires that have devastated the city, while the queer community is rallying to support the remaining lesbian bar.

The Ruby Fruit, a “Sapphically inclined” wine bar that opened on Sunset Boulevard in the city’s Silver Lake neighborhood in February 2023, announced Saturday that operating “is no longer possible due to financial impact from the current natural disaster.”

“Sadly, along with all the feelings of grief and shock that we have experienced over the last few days, also came this undeniable reality: that running our small business is no longer sustainable,” owners Emily Bielagus and Mara Herbkersman said on social media. “The hospitality industry functions on a day-by-day basis and right now, as they say — the math just isn’t mathing.”

The Los Angeles community was immediately sent reeling, with owners of other lesbian bars across the U.S. asking how they could help in comments on the post.

The owners of The Ruby Fruit did not immediately return a request for comment on whether they will raise funds to keep the bar open. However, in an update shared on Instagram Tuesday afternoon, they said they would “have more to share soon regarding any hopeful future plans, as well as ways y’all can help,” and that in the meantime, they will amplify the GoFundMe fundraiser they created for their employees.

The city’s other lesbian bar, Honey’s at Star Love, which opened in East Hollywood the same month as The Ruby Fruit, posted on Instagram last week that it would be closed all weekend “out of respect for those impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles.”

On Saturday, Pearl Bar, a lesbian bar in Houston, created a call to raise funds for Honey’s and its staff. The post was then shared by bars in San Francisco, New York and Phoenix.

“We need all lesbians & queers everywhere to unite! @honeys.la had to temporarily close this weekend due to the fires and air quality,” Pearl Bar said in an Instagram post that included information on how people could donate. “A whole weekend closed is 25% of service employees’ income. This disaster could last for a month or longer.”

Julie Mabry, the owner of Pearl Bar, said she connected with one of the owners of Honey’s, Kate Greenberg, and that Greenberg was hesitant to accept help. Mabry said she told Greenberg about her experiences with multiple hurricanes over the years and a tornado in Houston in May and how it affected her business.

“I was just telling her that maybe they could have some temporary relief for their staff, because they decided to close that weekend to help their community, which I also had a lot of respect for,” Mabry said. “The concern for them is what’s going to happen after this, because it’s going to take a long time for that city to recover.”

Pearl Bar has been open for 11 years, Mabry said, and she’s considered closing twice in the last nine months due to natural disasters. In May, the bar lost electricity for three days after a tornado, and had to close for three days over a weekend. Then, in July, the bar lost power for a week due to a hurricane. As a result, Mabry said, the bar lost $102,000 in revenue and damages but was able to manage because the city had just celebrated Pride month in June, which brought in higher-than-usual revenue. She said January and February are some of the slowest months for bars.

“I think it’s OK to ask for people to help Honey’s, because we don’t want to lose our spaces,” Mabry said.

Greenberg did not immediately return a request for comment on the efforts or whether Honey’s faces the threat of closure.

For decades, lesbian bars nationwide have been declining, with approximately 20 remaining in 2020, NBC News reported. The Ruby Fruit and Honey’s at Star Love were among more than a dozen Sapphic spaces that opened since then, bringing the number of total lesbian bars nationwide to at least 35, according to another NBC News report last year.

Erica Rose, one of the founders of the Lesbian Bar Project, a fundraising campaign and documentary about the country’s remaining lesbian bars, said Los Angeles didn’t have a dedicated Sapphic space for more than a decade before The Ruby Fruit and Honey’s opened. She added that the two spaces complemented each other, with The Ruby Fruit offering an intimate date experience, while Honey’s feels like a cocktail lounge.

“When we lose a space, we lose our culture, and that’s tied to our identity, and we all need our spaces in order to exist,” Elina Street, the Lesbian Bar Project’s other co-founder, said. “So this is really devastating news, and we really hope that the community can rally together the way they do so beautifully, and that we can find more solutions to create more spaces.”

Current state of the fires according to ca.gov/incidents. I bring this up because, last I checked that site, Palisades had nowhere near as many warnings to the west. The site also didn't have the little pink arrows on it, which I assume are either something to do with currently-operating air units or the wind (the PC site gives no explanation for what they are), and Eaton didn't have near as many warnings in the south.

I last checked the site a day and a half ago.

Above message is the 14th post on this board on the first page in response to someone chirping me for doubleposting (It was pictures of cars being bulldozed in my defense)

Those in this thread for a while will have to have noticed my dumb ass showing up, likely far more than they would like, I appreciate you all at the very least tolerating it, and hope that all it does now is give me the credibility to say

SOMETHING IS FUCKED AND ITS NOT ANYTHING IM SEEING DISCUSS, ON HERE OR ANYWHERE

They wont show us THE fire anymore.

Ill say it again, they wont show us the fire anymore.

its 17% contained, there is so is more fire out there than you could shake a stick at. The news choppers only go over new spot fires and ones that firefighters are at and containing.

Starting about 2 nights ago the news began to start using old footage from previous wildfires and old training of airdrops

Its just my opinion based on way to much autistic intake of this intel but im HIGHLY CONFIDENT that the scale of the devastation is so much worse than they are wanting to admit and they are doing everything they can to keep any official sources away from evidence and to label all non "official sources" as misinformation.

I might need to go for a walk Im not sure, this shit just DOES NOT ADD UP TO ME.

"The fire is at 25% containment... and has not grown outside the established control features(containment)" is the kind of stupid shit only at PIO could say. If the fire grew outside the control features they would no longer be containing the fire.

Those are surface level wind indicators. They are a map layer that can be turned on and off. If you zoom in a bit more it will show the wind speeds in mph.

One thing I didn't know is that many of the houses in the Palisades were built 70 to 100 years ago and are part of generational inheritance for the families there.

Yes, I know the thread moves fast but the Palisades is where the upper class "bluth" types lived. They're rich and have been rich since the film studios came to town.

It's a big reason people are laughing. The people in power got fucked with

Do you have a plan for if your house burns to cinders? Honestly, if it happened to me right now I would be fucked. I'm not ready. Not that anyone is ever "ready" for a life changing disaster. Not even sure where to start.

I posted a doc a few pages back that is CA specific but a good read if you’re interested.

Main things I’ve noted are cloud backups of passwords and copies of identity documents stored deep underground or far offsite.
