I’m enthralled by the ongoing drama about the fire in Griffith Park. It is apparently continuing to spread, now encompassing 300 acres, and forcing evacuations of residences.
- Fire Growing, Neighborhoods Being Evacuated
- L.A. County Fire Department Choppers Tank Up
- Huge Flames above Los Feliz
- 300 acres, 1300 homes without power, 300 residents evacuated
As Xeni Jardin is in the area, it is being posted on boingboing.net as well. Hollywood is Burning (Yet Again)
I just spoke with my brother and he tells me that the flames are pretty bright and the smoke is pretty thick. My parents’ house is about 8 miles from the Observatory by car, with the southern portion of Glendale lying in between.
There are a lot of freaky pictures at the L.A. Times site.
They’ve also closed off Los Feliz Blvd, which connects Glendale to Hollywood.
