Agreed. Leave it behind for the grater good…

Stay safe John. Leave the cheese grater behind if you have to get out. CBS devoted their whole newscast to the fires last night. I can't remember the last time any of the networks did that. It's a pretty ugly bunch of fires   JB

On the things I don't want to have to do again is prepare for a Fire Evacuation.  I've been lucky to always watch our So Cal Fires on TV or just deal with bad air.  Tonight the Sunset Fire was close enough that we decided to pack what we could for what the emergency alert said was a potential evacuation.  I first thought I'd just grab the new Mac Studio and the QNAP NASBOOKs.  My Big QNAP was out of the question.  Once I got those out I just couldn't leave my Cheese Grater behind so out it came.  Just as they got the Sunset Fire contained another house on our side of the Hollywood Hills caught fire internally.  We were ready to go if we got the notice.  Fortunately the winds aren't as strong today and the Water Dropping Chopper came right over our house to douse a brush fire caused by the house fire in Studio City.  WHEW!!!

I've brought all my gear back in and hooked it up.  I wouldn't need so much Advil if it weren't for the Cheese Grater.

Sadly I have several friends that have lost their homes in Altadena and the Palisades.  Very grateful for the first responders and all the broadcasters busting the butts to keep us safe and informed.  Hope everyone else on the list is out of harms way.
