Wow. You know it’s really dry in SoCal when wildfire season runs this late. Normally we would have had some rain by now. But with a La Nina year, we may not see much rain at all this winter, which would mean next year will be even worse.
Wildfire destroys homes above Malibu – Yahoo! News
A fast-moving wildfire destroyed about 20 homes and spread through the canyons and hills above Malibu on Saturday, forcing hundreds of residents to flee.
No injuries were reported.
The blaze, feeding on brush and trees and driven by the dry Santa Ana wind, began shortly before 3:30 a.m. PST near Malibu Lake on state park land and burned roughly 1,500 acres in about five hours, said Los Angeles County fire Capt. Mike Brown.
Fire officials estimated about 20 homes had been destroyed, but the exact number was not known. The cause of the fire had not been determined.
