#Water in #LosAngeles is a big topic right now. LADWP manages the hydrants that ran out in Palisades. LADWP imports 1/3 of its water from the Owens Valley(Los Angeles Aqueduct), 1/3 from Colorado River Aqueduct, and 1/3 from State water Project (the delta near the bay)
“Drone Delivery Company” BLIP posts two videos of the palisades fire today. They have a story post of the topanga fire with one of the Canadian super scoopers flying around 1PM today. Getting tired, but need to geo locate the transmission tower.
While still in a mandatory evacuation zone, the air around Riviera Country Club looks a lot more clear than it did yesterday.
This video was taken about an hour ago at an intersection just a couple of blocks away from Riv’s clubhouse.
Could be a good sign.
NEW: I drove over to the Pacific Palisades/Santa Monica border to check on reports of active fire, & I’m not seeing any from my perspective at Ocean & Adelaide. Lots of smoldering across the canyon/gulley but not seeing flame. SMPD driving around announcing mandatory evacs here.
New drone shot from Pacific Palisades shows entire blocks of homes literally burned to the ground. The Palisades Fire alone could become the "costliest" fire in U.S. history.
