I am safe. However, the devastation is EPIC. The air is thick with the smell of everything burning. Ash is falling from the sky. It's as if we're in Pompeii with Mount Vesuvius. I've never seen anything like this in the 20 years since I moved to LA from #HTX in 1999. (Think of it like #HurricaneHarvey but with fire. Both horrific.) Police sirens, firetrucks, ambulances & helicopters fly above constantly. Fortunately, I live in #DelRey; the center of the Beach Communities. 1.7 miles from the Ocean. Gorgeous, but still too close as the wind blows debris around. Windows & doors must be kept closed. People & Pets inside. My ears, nose & throat are stinging. ● ● As the #woolseyfires are tackled by brave firefighters, first responders & volunteers dedicated to humanity, both sides of the fire and inland are affected. Literally I should just say LA by the time it's done. We need rain to happen NOW. ● ● The folks just North of me on the PCH and inland are the most hard hit with mandatory evacuations, disaster and tragedy. ● ● (Del Rey is just to the South. Close enough as the winds blow to have the gruesome affects of dreadful air and weather quality. Lord knows how far the wind will spread it around. After Malibu, it's Topanga, Palisades, Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey; then Del Rey in the lineup. Less than 1 mile from me and South around the corner is Playa Vista; newly crowned Silicon Beach; El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa, Redondo, Palos Verdes Hamlets all the way down to the OC and San Diego.) Check your maps. Not kidding. ASHES IN THE AIR. ● ● Respiratory issues are intensely rampant along with the physical, emotional, financial and Spiritual upheaval and Loss of Life. ● ● #TraderJoes on Palms & #Sepulveda gave us masks to drive home with. Between this and the bizarre shootings the other night, we absolutely need immediate Assistance for Our People, Pets and Support for our First Responders & Volunteers with CLEAR, ORGANIZED SOLUTIONS NOW. Many Thanks & Love to All checking in on me and Mine. #antigonespeaks #spiritualtraveler #instagood #government #fema #assist #malibu #LA #California #beachcommunities ALL #losangeles #lacounty #venturacounty (at Del Rey, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqCmSYUgMbq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p1ktb59s3nz4
