Austin Creek SRA is open!
It has been closed since the Woolsey fire tore through in 2020.
Scorched redwoods in this picture are fuzzy top to bottom - I guess this is how they do fire, or maybe they're masquerading as cell towers.
This is near Bullfrog Pond - transformed from it's previous look.
Southern California Edison is asking California's Public Utilities Commission to let them charge customers an extra few billion dollars to pay for their losses in Ventura County's #ThomasFire. In a few days they'll ask for more rate increases to pay for the #WoolseyFire. Hell of a deal; they burn down customers' houses then get customers to pay for it.
Those damages should be paid by SCE shareholders that have been profiting off of the company's failure to maintain and upgrade their grid.
> Woolsey was the last megafire to blast Los Angeles. It burned nearly a hundred thousand acres around Malibu, destroyed more than 1,500 structures. I asked Davis back then what he expected..once the flames died down. “Bigger mansions,” he said. “What tends to disappear is rental properties, trailer parks, people who don’t have adequate insurance.”
> There’s a lot of Luigi Mangione in the air..I didn’t sense that during Woolsey.

Ah, yes. Tonight is the 6 year anniversary of the Borderline Shooting, tomorrow is the 6 year anniversary of the Woolsey Fire (reminder on the Mountain Fire briefing). Apparently this is not an auspicious date. #BorderlineStrong #WoolseyFire #MountainFire #CAwx #VenturaCounty

We're very happy to have a chapter in this new Cambridge University Press book on responses to natural disasters, an adaptation of our 2020 Louisiana Law Review article. This is especially poignant this weekend, the 4th anniversary of the #WoolseyFire and its aftermath that I document here.

And getting real live, physical books in the mail just makes me giddy.

Melissa Bumstead, Oct. 3, 2018, speaks before delivering petition demanding SSFL cleanup to now Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom’s campaign headquarters in Los Angeles.
• Activists say Gov.-elect Newsom is key to a full cleanup of SSFL.
–Michael Collins, EnviroReporter
#WoolseyFire #SSFL
• DTSC, DOE, NASA and Boeing all have resisted full cleanup of SSFL.
• Save for KNBC Channel 4, most media discount the toxic stew released from Rocketdyne and refuse to acknowledge that the fire started on the site, not “near” it.

"At least 84 percent of SSFL burned launching approximately 43,272 tons of radioactive and chemically-impacted ash and smoke into the air."

In the article, "Smoke Screen – Woolsey Fire Contamination Cover-up," Michael Collins explores in depth eleven (11) points of information.
First of all #WoolseyFire should have been called #RocketdyneFire "to be accurate and to warn the public about the smoke coming their way."
