Southern California residents, please listen up.

Please evacuate. I’m not fear-mongering, I’m trying to bring logic and sense, read this so you can understand:

NWS has issued a wind warning in effect from Tuesday night into Wednesday with gusts up to 70 MPH.

We know that the Palisades Fire is only 13% contained. The Eaton Fire is 27% contained. Knowing this, the wind and the containment percentages, what do you think happens next? 

There are red flag warnings all over Southern California including Irvine, Riverside, areas of San Diego, etc. 

‼️ The night prior to the breakout of the Palisades fire, NWS posted about 80-100 mph wind gusts. People actually commented me at that time and said nothing would happen and it was ridiculous. They ignored it. This is eerily similar to when NWS reported Western North Carolina would have over 30 inches of rain and then RETRACTED it the day before Helene and said it was a “glitch” 

If you can afford to take a vacation, grab your pets and important things and just go. This stuff is not worth risking your life over. We saw it with Helene in North Carolina, we saw it with the fires in Maui, we saw it with Katrina - among many other catastrophes - please use caution and don’t have the attitude of “lol this can’t happen to me I’m like 20 miles away.” There is another significant wind event coming. The briefings already talked about it. 

Please share, let’s help and save lives.
