Southern California is a little hotter than usual at the moment, seeing as large areas of it are currently
on fire. Interesting of note, however, is that most of the big news channels here in the US are only reporting on the areas with Money. San Diego continues to be a hot point, haha, for news reporters, but considering the large-scale evacuation of the city that makes sense. But Malibu, which is home to celebrities such as Ted Danson, Pamela Anderson, and Sting, seems to be getting an inordinate amount of news coverage despite the fact that the fires there are largely under control. We're still receiving updates on Santa Clarita, where you can find some Very Expensive Houses, but the fires there are also fairly contained now.
Of course, no updates on the smaller communities threatened by fires. In fact the last update most news programs seem to have is over
two days old. Lovely.
It's not just American media, either - even the good ol' BBC has been tracking the Malibu fire using this handy map:
Meanwhile, we have friends sleeping on our living room floor who were evacuated from their mountain town who have no idea what is happening, or even if they have a home to go back to. It's all bit a stupid, really.
