i went to pepperdine university in malibu. in the 90s, you know, we experienced two of these mass wildfire events up at pepperdine, which had their own just a few weeks ago if you remember. shockingly and sadly that's part of what might perhaps save pepperdine should this continue to spread into malibu because the ground around them burned a few weeks ago. my initial reaction, lawrence, i've been involved in these things. i've evacuated twice from pepperdine. two summers ago we had fires in maui that we all covered. there is a sense of helplessness. when you have winds like that and the fire is spreading that quickly, it is hard for us who haven't been through a lot of wildfires to understand there is not a lot firefighters can do. you can't stop it. second i'm looking at the rate of spread on this, lawrence. it is shocking. what started late last night into what we are waking up to this morning how far the fire has spread. the pal is aids. it has to be terrifying for southern california. >> lawrence: there is a church and in

if you did this at pepperdine a few weeks ago. it happened twice in my four years there.u put into this context? how does this compare to what southern californians have come to expect with fires? >> yeah. i have been at pepperdine for 25 years, been present the last 5, and this is materially different than prior ones. the other ones were scary, they were intense. this is so widespread, so fast moving with such heavy winds that this is an order of magnitude larger marley given what -- particularly given what is happening in the greater southern california area with the eaton fire and the kenneth fire and the other fires. they're all scary and intense, but this one seems to be a level above the rest. will: how -- can you -- everyone talks about palisades. it's beared the brunt of this, it's really bad out there with the eaton fire as well. by the way, you have the kenneth fire just across from you. i lived in calabasas, so it's around you, all around you. just give us a sense of the community. like, what's it like in malibu right now? >> yeah. we are coordinating directly

this is where i lived and commuted to pepperdine here. this is burning and it's close together. in the eaton fire over by pass dina in the mountains and threatening -- pasadena and threatening all the neighborhoods and going for the context is burning and kenneth fire burning in calabashes and burned about a thousand acres and 562 soccer fields and that's bigger than the size of new york's central park and being investigated by arson and they've arrested someone and that case not completely made. suspicion this started by arson. the eaton fires burned about 14,000 acres and it's essentially the size of manhattan and entirety of manhattan on fire and this is at 8% contained and palisades fire where a lot of focus is and 21,000 acres burned and this is almost 70% the size of boston and 15,900 football fields worth of real estate burn in the palisades fire and context going to come to the damage and 135 billion to $150 billion in economic damage so far for this area. it's the largest and worse in the campfire beyond maui and everything and huge economic damage and robert mentioned

pepperdine wa where the franklin fire was just last month, where so much of malibu burned. we talked to an l.a. fire captain. he said the only thing that stopped this fire now, the palisades fire from going further into malibu was the burn scar from the franklin fire. but home after home after home destroyed. and this is what we're seeing on pch right now. this iconic highway showcasing the california coast on both sides of the street, homes and businesses gone. but then we see pockets like these homes here that aretill standing. there's not a lot of rhyme or reason of why something is standing and something isn't. but what we do know is that so many homes and properties and families are destroyed by this reporting in malibu. brittany, hope back to you. thank you. brittany. let's bring in our meteorologist, vianey arana and vianey. we're not seeing those hurricane force winds that we saw like tuesday night. winds have died down a little bit, but they could just pick right back up this red flag warning extended now. that's right. and it wouldn't surprise me if it got extende

. >>> the poor air quality caused by the fires forced ucla, pepperdine, and cal tech to cancel their in-person classes today at this point. cal tech expects to resume in-person class tomorrow but stress that could change. meanwhile ucla canceled classes through at least friday. pepperdine has moved everything online until at least the 19th. >>> first alert chief meteorologist paul heggen joining us now. thankfully, the fire crews had a little bit better time fighting those fires today, maybe mother nature cooperating just a little bit. >> yeah. the winds were gusty, not as bad as a couple days ago. they had a better break last night into very early this morning. the winds have been picking up, though, and unfortunately they aren't done with the critical fire weather. another offshore wind event is likely heading into next week. these are the latest statistics according to cal fire and there's no hope of keeping up on a realtime basis, just short of 30,000 acres burned, containment less than 1%. it's not 0%. they have had some success on some of the smaller fires, but the larger ones

all the way to pepperdine. these are like row houses in philadelphia.rally right next to each other. there is a pacific homes they are trying to save where those fire trucks are right now. they are putting a lot of water on it. so close together and the intense radiant heat is catching the two by fours and the structures next to it on fire. again, as we have seen right here, we have lost five houses in just about the last hour along this stretch and another three earlier than that the situation here in southern california is dire. this is probably going to be the most destructive expensive fire in state history. stretch from the palisades and now there is some in pass deanna, altadena, up in that area as well. houses start in the range of 2 to $3 million each. the palisades fire that one grew not just north here in malibu but also grown into santa monica rust that cannon and shah tack quaw road 40 to 50 has firefighters as i came down pch power lines and transformers were up and down the street, along with boulders coming off the side of the bluff here.

this fire is bumping up the franklin fire from pepperdine university.how wild is that, pepperdine university twice in a month has to cancel classes and evacuations. so as far as what will happen a the rest of today, the winds are coming down. they did peak last night. still very high today. 40 to 60 mile-per-hour gusts. santa ana, about 46. lax, 31. oxnard, 43. this is where the fire is located near malibu now. still in very strong winds. other areas y the winds are coming down, by the time we get through this evening we will get a big relaxation in the winds. the relative humidity is still bone dry because it hasn't rained and that helps the fires burn faster. as far as the red flag warnings go and the extreme risk, it's this area from north of downtown la through santa ro clarita and this extreme fire behavior. about 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. overnight they can get the air support now. we have this extreme wind event. the next winter storm we will talk about later this week, is this storm that was just south of arizona responsible for a lot of this mess. >> b

a lot of the stuff we focus is pepperdine and the getty villa. there are mobile home parks in there as well. everyday middle class americans in there as well and this is a bit of the risk assumption. fires, mudslides, earthquakes, a little piece of price for paradise. >> ainsley: i wonder if some of these people will decide not to rebuild, sell land and i'm out of here. it's dangerous. no one wants to live through these and we keep seeing the fires oust there. >> brian: we'll check out your podcast today. >> ainsley: a press conference today at 11:00 eastern and 8:00 a.m. pacific time as the fire continues. we'll cover it all day. >> steve: see you tomorrow. >> are you good? >> my goodness, like a bomb hit this area here. >> we have to get these guys out. >> i can't help but feel bad for all the people who live here. we've never had a fire like this. >> bill: these images are endless. good morning, everyone. a living hell on the doorstep of so many this morning. southern california facing a worst case scenario, violent winds fueling several major

pepperdine leaves too much space for barry. wang cashes in the three.15th of the season, 80 to 63. >> the san jose sharks are on the road with a goal of snapping a five game win streak for the columbus blue jackets jackets, and sadly, that did not come to fruition for the sharks. james riemsdyk found the back of the net twice in this game, and the blue jackets go on to beat san jose 4 to 1 and extend their win streak to six. the sharks have now lost four out of their last five games and are at the bottom of the pacific division. the san francisco giants are not planning to go through a rebuild period following the justin verlander signing. fans on social media were uncertain what the direction of the organization is going to be, since majority of their roster is under the age of 30 years old. here's more now from our sit down with the new giants general manager, who clarified the team's plans for the upcoming season. >> i think we have a nice mix of veteran talent with with players like logan webb, matt chapman, obviously bringing in willie adams, justi

this is where pepperdine is, a a place that i lived for four years. to the wealthy, celebrities. and you can see these are -- this is what a typical area of malibu looks like with the homes along pkh, and then the wind -- pch, and then the winding roads work up into the mountains and canyons, and this is what it looks like after. it's basically gone. the red in picture, by the way, we think -- and i'm not 100% certain, but it's the fire retardant that's been dropped on this neighborhood. perhaps a little too late. take a look at pch. i talked about the canyons. this is probably malibu as well. the pacific coast highway runs from santa monica all the way up into northern california, but you have these homes. these are some of the most aspirational homes for many in the country right along the beach, right? you can see now they're all gone. i mean, when you drive along pch, you would only really see homes until there was a gap, you wouldn't see the ocean. now just like in maui, it's so shocking. wow, the ocean's right there now because everything's burn

there are several places between here and pepperdine where multiple homes are also being destroyed.. we lost a little house there. this started yesterday in the palisades around 10:in the morning in a residential area and why it is a perfect storm. you have the challenging topography of malibu. densely populated area of the palisades and no rain for several months and these super high winds. we're talking about 80 to 90 miles-per-hour in the mountains. on the coast 40 to 50 miles-per-hour and that just led to the situation we have right now. down in the palisades yesterday when this thing started, people were told to evacuate and there was nowhere for them to go. there was gridlock on sunset. people told to get out of their cars and run for their lives if they wanted to survive. in fact, many did. in fact, several cars that had to be moved by bulldozers to make way for the fire engines. that is the the situation as it is now. fire resources are stretched thin, dana. we expect still high winds throughout the day. >> bill: unbelievable to see there. william, i have felt for a long tim

pepperdine university, pacific palisades around santa monica mountains.ibu, simi valley, reagan library. if you get winds off the top of those mountains they can kick it and throw it quite a distance. in our studio here. i want to cruise over and check in with fox weather folks. pardon my back here. they've been working 24/7 on this because of the weather conditions are so dire and really they determine go ahead, jimmy. they dictate the future for this story, unfortunately. we got a bit of a break over the weekend. steven morgan has been here. i don't know if you've slept or not but good morning to you. a break over the weekend. winds calmed down considerably on sunday but things could change quickly yet again. this is the pca where griff jenkins was where all the homes wiped out. >> breathtaking from a completely different perspective. the million dollar views that people get. what we have setting up here, bill, as you mentioned. the off shore winds. santa anas played out a week ago tomorrow. it was a week ago tomorrow those fires started. the palisades

and stretching from pepperdine down to soont and brian knows this around rustic canyon.ou are probably looking at about 20 miles. i think my commute was 26 miles. about 20 miles. >> year which is burning in many situations. doesn't count malibu because this happened literally after 6:00 p.m. last night is only when it crossed topanga into the southern end of malibu if you will. about seven miles of flames, intermittent flames like you are seeing here on these homes which, again, along coast highway they are one after the other after the other and there is very few breaks a few restaurants in between. we said dukes, we said moon shadows. nobu is up there closer to the center of malibu. if fire gets in those areas unlike the pali village which has had significant destruction. there is no telling how many buildings are going to be destroyed. >> you know when you mentioned topanga canyon what i find interesting and challenging is it is very hard to get out of the mountains. that's what they were having in pacific palisades. topanga canyon one of the few ways to weave out of

there are reservoirs in front of pepperdine university, for example, that we used during the recent franklinfore the holidays. we were able to use its resources, even though they are outside of the city, to address this fire because we are a unified command using all of our regional resources. we are still working on that and there will certainly be a lot of conversations around what we need to do to build out a system that contemplates this kind of climate crisis. when we look at municipal systems, they typically contemplate a few houses being on fire at the same time and that is what a municipal service is supposed to respond to. this is an urban wildfire. on top of it, there were multiple fires happening at the same time. they were calling on resources and, as this fire was spreading into the conditions we are facing without any real approach, it was a perfect confluence of conditions that made it difficult to pump the water from lower levels up to the higher levels in the hillsides and up at the top. ladwp chief expand all of that at our press conference this morning and i know they are

. >> i'm at pacific coast highway, north of jonathan, halfway between the palisades and pepperdine universityd several structures burned between the real inn which is an iconic restaurant here in malibu. as well as several structures. when i arrived here, there were about a dozen homes -- were on fire here, and went one after one. we're right along pch here, and you can see the water is right here. downed power lines. power poles. crashed while we were out here, and as keith pans to the right if he can, you'll see more houses stacked like sardine style next to each other and firefighters didn't have a chance. and they tried to water 'em down. tried to keep the heat down. but to no avail because these houses literally were almost wall to wall. so in malibu, when i came in this morning, there were multiple structures on fire hire in malibu. north of where i am. and there was no firefighters in sight. they are stretched thin. in fact, i think we have a sound bite f from a fire chief basicay saying we didn't have any manpower and the helicopters were drowning. >> these fires are stretching the ca

these homes literally were right along the beach basically north of dukes and south of pepperdine. they just went up. they were packed one after the other and they couldn't stop it, right? finally the firefighters -- i will actually pan, if you don't mind, keith if we move down here to show you all along here. firefighters were finally able to stop it about 1 hundred yards away and they were able to control that fire. but this was one of four large fires in l.a. county. 5000. it wasn't the size but where it started. you've already talked about a densely populated area and then it migrated north to malibu where they have a real challenging topography. the winds down here overnight were 40 to 50 miles-per-hour gusting over 90. one of the problems was the grounding of the helicopters is always a huge help to firefighters. without that and the night hawk, they weren't able to get a handle on this. number two as you know from the press conference. really shorthanded. i came down from malibu and saw many scenes like this one here in terms of house after house after house destroyed and ma

the gaels took down pepperdine, 74 to 50, in malibu tonight.the charge with 14 points and augustus marcellus notched his 1,000th career point. well after a four game road trip, the warriors are back in the bay for eight of their nine games. jordan poole and the washington wizards in town. plus, draymond green returns after missing the past three games. but in the first quarter, steve kerr calls a timeout and sends green to the locker room. he would not return due to the gate to the game due to a calf injury. second quarter wizards up by one. poole heating up. he gets over andrew wiggins and sinks the three. poole drains the deep triple. he hit four threes in the second quarter and had 23 of his 38 points in the first half. wizards up by ten in the fourth. warriors up by seven. curry breaks free cashes in this three pointer. he finished with 26 points two minutes left. warriors up by seven. curry defending poole and he rolls his ankle. we're going to see that shortly steph actually would end up going to the locker room in the final seconds of th

you know, i went to school up the road at pepperdine, and they've been hunkering down since the 80s andtrying to fortify that landscape with their own ponds and irrigation system, defensible spaces. and people here are aware they know about evacuations. they've seen the seasons. but i think, you know, this is not our parents fires anymore. this is now the, you know, 70 or 80 mile an hour. winds are not the product of climate change. those are natural, but it's unnatural for us is the overlap between this dry season. it's supposed to be the rainy season. right now they've got 100th of an inch, i think since december. uh, so last winter, when there was so much rain, it created all this fresh vegetation. things were verdant for a while, but then a super hot summer, followed by drought, followed by these wind events. so like it reminds me of lahaina in maui going there that we lack the capacity of imagination of the worst that could happen. no one imagined all of the palisades burning down, and you don't want to imagine what happens if this wind shifts and pushes us into santa monica. uh, p

pepperdine heading northwards up here. so the western santa monica mountains. and then from ventura through the canyons here all the way to the angeles national forest. those are the areas of concern. so that's north and northwest of downtown la. now as far as the winds go, it's already really windy in the mountains. 5146 so we already have dangerous fire conditions, but we just don't have any new fires. i was looking at the visible satellite imagery, and there's no smoke anywhere in southern california right now. there's no active burning flames, so that's fantastic, but it doesn't mean it will continue. so by 5 a.m. tomorrow morning, look at these wind gusts, 6658. those are strong enough that the aircraft will not be able to fly. if we have new fires forming in these areas. so that's the big key hopefully. fingers crossed we don't have any fires that form in these areas. but that's why the weather service has called this a particularly dangerous situation. if it happens, if a power line falls that's still energized and starts a fire, you know, fortunately, i

students were sheltering in place at pepperdine. this is not a one off. it's not a postmortem. as karen bass says. well, we're going to, you know, when this is done, we're going to look back and people are going to pay. you're going to look back. you've had years to look back. who's going to pay? karen, you are you going to pay? people are devastated. i mean, and this is the beginning, sean, i you know, adam carolla has gone viral for saying that it's going to be impossible to rebuild. i can speak from personal experience in telling you that it took me a year just to clean up the disaster that happened at my home in 2018, just to get a permit. we haven't even seen the beginning of what chaos this is going to wreck. >> explain what happened in 2018. it took you how long to begin the process to build back your home. >> well, why don't we talk about first how the fire started? so the fire started because pg and e, which is a privately owned utility company, never updated their power lines. so they had equipment on the power lines. that was 80 to 100 years old, failed. they support

thema bryant, a professor of psychology at pepperdine university. dr. bryant, thank you.hip that we have with ourselves. how do we go about nurturing that relationship? >> such a great question and it's so important we start with self-forgiveness. sometimes we hold ourselves hostage to the mistakes of our past, and we have to recognize no one is perfect and we give ourselves the opportunity to turn the page and move forward. and then we want to engage in self-care, looking at our rest, our eat, our exercise, therapy, looking at healthy relationships. so self-care is a beautiful choice to really be a foundation for self-love. and the last one is self-preservation, which means not overextending ourselves, not engaging in people pasing but protecting our peace. >> protecting our peace. monitoring generosity, sort of keeping score of the good that we do? >> it is about not draining yourself, emptying yourself, abandoning yourself. sometimes we ignore ourselves, and that gets celebrated, but it has an impact on our physical and mental health. >> so when you say monitor generos

in the 1970's, it burned from the san gabriel fountains all the way to the ocean past pepperdine.he only thing that put it out was it finally hit the ocean. as far as water and stuff goes, we have the helicopters and all this other stuff to put out fires, they work with hand crews on the grounds with hoses. they cannot do it because it is too much fire. when you have too much wind, you cannot use these aircraft, and that is where the fire got out of control. other winds are picking up again, and he had to realize that these sparks can fly anywhere from two to five miles and start other fires because it is a canyon area. they are going to have to rethink on how we fight fires or how we store water or how we quit building in areas that we should not be building. and overpopulation, they just build everywhere and without regard to safety or topography or acknowledge the weather where the problems we have out here. as long as we have the money on selling taxes and tax revenue, things are going to change. ok, that is about it. have a good day. host: before you go, as a california resid
