Fires are getting close to Beverly Hills area. Really dangerous situation, and with those tornado type winds, the fires are moving extremely fast. Prayers for all. Stay safe, if possible.

Yeah I’m in an evacuation warning zone. Thankfully the winds have cooled down (For now at least). Here’s hoping those fires get contained.

Sending so much positive energy that USH and many many others can remain untouched by this fire.

Multiple coworkers homes are gone. We just drove through LA to go up to the Bay Area and it’s absolutely apocalyptic.

It's so sad and its so hard to wrap your head around the scale of the devastation and loss. I also really hate how natural disasters have just become fodder for political BS now, it's so stupid and it didn't used to be this way.

I have a friend who used to live in Hollywood Hills, moved out very recently, and now their old neighborhood has burned down. It's such a sad way to start the new year. :(

Hope everyone stays safe.
