8. The Getty was designed to be protected from wildfire.

It’s probably pretty safe even if the fire reaches it.

5. Pepperdine has a beautiful campus on highway 1.

I remember going to beaches in the area in the 80's.

I rode my Honda Silverwing 500 with my girlfriend holding on to my waist in the summer past Pepperdine and Malibu. With a bag of weed, a couple of towels and she and me heading to a nude beach. Those were the days.

6. Pepperdine takes great precautions against fires.

It has to. The Getty Museum, too, recognizes the fire danger and is designed not to provide fuel for such fires. If only others would do the same, these fires wouldn't destroy as many buildings.

Typically, Pepperdine shelters in place, knowing the the fires will pass the campus by.

13. mount st. mary. college

14. Mount St. Mary's University is not as well protected.

Look at the satellite view of it on that Google map. It is too close to the brushy hills around it, and doesn't have enough cleared area to act as a buffer. I didn't realize that was the school in question. It could burn, yes. It will also be difficult to protect.

10. Trump wouldn't care if California burned up.

He would probably relish the suffering he is so twisted.

16. Mandatory evacuation area for the Getty fire is just minutes away from

where my husband's house was on Hightree Rd when we married in 1985. Tucked up at the end of a dead end road off Sunset Blvd in the area known as Rustic Canyon between Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica. Five minutes to the beach. We moved out of California in 1988. I hired babysitters who went to school at Mt. St. Mary's College which was evacuated last night.

My husband had a good friend who lived on Tigertail Rd. where at least one house has already burned down.

I lived all over Los Angeles from 1969 when I went to UCLA until 1988 when we decided we didn't want to raise kids in L.A. and started our eastward set of moves that finally landed us in North Carolina in 2000. All those years that I lived around L.A., there were never fires like this. Yes, there were Santa Ana's, but not taking down power lines that sparked wild fires.
