I have Allyson on the phone. She lives only a couple of blocks from the park, and she's on the roof with her neighbors. She says it smells yucky and she can't see beyond the buildings across the street. The power went out and civilians in shorts are in the streets, directing traffic. Palm trees are igniting and exploding, and it looks like the fire is pouring down the hillside.
Dawn: Any luck? Willow: If you define luck as the absence of success--plenty.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, Damn. I hope she and Ruby stay okay

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Futhermocker. Good on the people directing traffic despite what must be primal urges to either flee or hunker down at home.
I hope everyone stays okay.

Good heavens! Keep us updated, Polgara. Tell Allyson if it smells bad, she shouldn't be breathing it. Does she have a dust mask?

The status is NOT quo.
SHIT! Yeah, Griffith Observatory just reopened, and it's stunning. ND did the sound work for the new planetarium, in fact.
Allyson, Sean, and others in the area--please stay safe! If anyone needs safe harbor for the night, call my cell. You're welcome to come here (kitties invited too).

She says thanks for all the good wishes. They're ok so far. She's only about two miles from the fire, but right now they're not worried about the fire jumping Los Feliz Blvd, although they are evacuating everyone north of Los Feliz, which is only two blocks from her. I don't know if she has a dust mask (we hung up so she could conserve her phone battery). Right now all her neighbors are on the roof, and they're all pretty stunned--it doesn't get more front row than her roof.

Okay. Not that we're evacuating now, or anything. But they're closing down Los Feliz blvd, so it's going to be an interesting night.

Well you know the door is open. I'll wash the guest sheets just in case.
