If you're anywhere near the Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles, my thoughts are with you. Thousands are fleeing the fire, bulldozers are pushing abandoned cars off the road, and the winds are supposed to increase tonight.
Global warming means fire season is all year round, here in California.
Does anyone know if the Getty Villa Museum has caught fire? The SF Chronicle says it has, but other sources just say the grounds are on fire. I only care because it has 125,000 artifacts, many from ancient Greece and Rome.

It's not just Palisades - the Eastern half of Pasadena is currently either in evacuation warning (down south) or currently being evacuated. Jet Propulsion Lab declared tomorrow mandatory telework day. 3600 people are without power.
I've lived in Pasadena since 2001, I've never seen fire move so fast...

@SvenGeier - stay safe! You might want to get the Watch Duty app, which has notifications and maps of fires in California. Here's some info about it:
