I'm watching it on the weather channel now

That state is the worst.

I agree. I'm glad that I don't go out there much anymore. But I'll be going out there in a couple months so Jeremy can install the lift on my JT.

Watching on KTLA looks like they are moving abandoned cars with bulldozers.

They have been saying that the fire trucks haven't been able to get thru because of abandoned cars in the way,

They just said that the winds could reach up to 100 mph tonight

Left one of our Job sites at about 11:30.. about an hour after the wind started and I could already clearly see Palisades on fire. Crazy shit.

They said it started around 10:30 this morning. Almost 1300 acres have been burned

Not yet but there was a fire up there on New Years day too. A lot of the cars were abandoned ay order from police and fire crews. Folks couldn’t get out as there’s only one way in and out so they told them to leave their cars and walk.

Here's the video of the bulldozer pushing cars. That's fucking badass! As a former firefighter you don't understand how satisfying this is to see...haha. I get it panick stricken people freak out, but it was so frustrating when you had a job to do and they blocked you.

Bulldozer Moving the Fucking Idiots Cars!

Same thing happened in the Cajon pass years ago. CHP stopped traffic and left motorists with no where to go so they left their vehicles on the freeway and walked up. Had they just let them pass none of it would have happened.

That’s badass I get to work on Cal-Fire dozers every now and then, I’ve always wondered if they would do this
