I’ve had some artists who have had to pick up and bail. I’m curious how widespread this is.
I have no power since Friday night. Mandatory evac zone is now 1 block away.
Aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Stay safe @ALan !!! Thinking about all y’all in LA, bail if you gotta, don’t take chances
I have a spectacular view of the Palisades Fire from Santa Monica. Watching the huge smoke cloud and the doom scroll on the internet has had me totally freaked out. But so far I have power, and the evac zone starts about 2 miles away. I think the people affected are not online now. Don’t want to speak for anybody else, but I know there are people that have evacuated.
We moved from Santa Monica to Mid-City last month otherwise we’d be just down the street from the evac zone breathing in all of that ash. The vast majority of our friends live on the west-side and many in the Palisades. As I write this we’re dropping off clothes and toiletries to friends who have lost everything—houses and all possessions burned to ash.
It’s fucking heartbreaking.
Here are resources for any of our friends/relatives/acquaintances that have been adversely affected:
