9:40 AM PST on Thursday January 9, 2025. Some fire progress updates

Woodley fire - 30 acres - contained and knocked down. Fire personnel still monitoring but otherwise safe

Sunswept fire - .5 acres - attacked very quickly and now inactive

Sunset fire - 42.8 acres - forward progress has been stopped and evacuation orders have been lifted

Lidia fire - 348 acres - forward progress stopped and containment at 60%. Great progress.

Hurst fire - 855 acres - perimeter has been established and 10% contained

Eaton fire - 10,590 acres - growth was significantly stopped during press conference this morning but recently started moving toward Mt. Wilson. Multiple aircraft and 800+ fire personnel working. Massive parts of Altadena and Pasadena have been completely destroyed

Palisades fire - 17,234 acres - most of Pacific Palisades and Malibu have burned. It’s hit the Getty Villa, multiple state parks and beaches, and still growing. LA fire chief described this as the worst natural disaster in Los Angeles history

Throughout Los Angeles County there are power outages, water boil notices and water shortage, gas is turned off in some parts. Throughout LA, Ventura, Orange, and even down to parts of San Diego county - poor air quality due to smoke and ash traveling far distances. Santa Ana winds are picking up again, though not as severe as yesterday (60mph winds today vs 80-100mph yesterday) this causes smoke and ash to spread and can even spark new fires miles away from the existing fires

Things are improving, but things are also still very bad

I’m loving Jared and Gen’s promo looks so far! They’re not too match-y but still complimentary, and they just look so glowy, happy, and healthy. Jared looks so good in earthy tones (I especially like todays look) and Gen in those sherbet colors 😍

I think "earthy" is the perfect term! Their looks went so well with their brand, the season, and with each other. And of course, both Jared and Gen pulled them off to perfection!

(I did have to laugh when I saw Jared in his comfort WW shirt on the ride to the studio. Maybe waiting until the last minute to change? lol!)

Pacific Palisades Reservoir Found Empty and Offline During Firestorm Catastrophe – 117 Million Gallons Could Have Saved the Day

Outrage is boiling over after revelations that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, a critical water source in Pacific Palisades, was empty and offline when a devastating wildfire ripped through the area.

The Los Angeles Times reported that despite the reservoir’s critical role in the city’s water infrastructure, it had been offline for nearly a year. The Santa Ynez Reservoir, with a capacity of 117 million gallons, could have played a critical role in providing water pressure to firefighters battling the devastating fire that destroyed thousands of homes and buildings in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu.

The McGee family of Thousand Oaks told KTLA they’d spotted a cougar cub on their property after reviewing security footage from motion-activated cameras. Other neighbors were fearful for their pets, the news channel reported.

But Tim Daly, public information officer for Fish and Wildlife’s South Coast and Inland Desert regions, said the agency investigated the claim and found that the animal in question was in fact a large domestic cat.

“One of our biologists saw the story after it appeared and made sure this morning the rest of us were aware,” he said.

The McGees did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

It’s not the first time California residents have mistaken a tame tabby for a ferocious wildcat.

In March, the South San Francisco Police Department posted Ring camera footage of a purported mountain lion to its Facebook page, following reports that the animal was prowling a residential neighborhood.

An update from the department clarified that the animal was in fact a domestic cat. One resident replied to the post with a picture of the pussycat asleep on a wicker chair between two smiling children.

Sometimes the news is actually hilarious.
