Palisades fire seemed to be on its way out, as it was being contained and seemingly under control.

However, it snuck through on the northeast and northwest sides, now putting Brentwood, Sherman Oaks, and Encino in danger. These are densely populated areas (especially Sherman Oaks), and would be one of the most devastating fires in California history if it manages to jump the 405/101 freeway barriers, and spread into residential areas.

Master Scalir, a resident of Sherman Oaks who is right by both freeways, is choosing to stay home and ride it out.


In other news, the power failure may have broken my refrigerator, which was working fine prior to the outage. 9 hours after the outage ended, my freezer is just 55 degrees, and my refrigerator is in the 60s. Sad!
