| 2025-01-19 |
| As Los Angeles residents shift from emergency to recovery mode after the pair of devastating wildfires, crews are well on their way to full containment of the blazes. According to the latest numbers released by Cal Fire, crews had 73% containment on the Eaton Fire as of 12:40 p.m. Saturday. The fire, which scorched much of Altadena and parts of Sierra Madre, has destroyed nearly 9,000 structures. As for the Palisades Fire, containment was at 43% as of 11:39 a.m. Saturday, according to Cal Fire. The burned acreage remained at 23,713, as it has for several days. ---------- As of this am, containment has been advanced a bit more, now 52% for Palisades and 81% for Eaton; also there is a possibility for rain in about 7 days as a low pressure will migrate down the west coast |

| #3 Expected Santa Ana winds will raise the fire risk in Southern California. While an offshore wind pattern is expected across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties Monday through Friday, the winds are predicted to pose the highest danger Monday night into Tuesday morning. |

| #2 Wait a minute! The Juice control the weather, right? What if we make a deal with Netanyahu, a little genocide for some rainfall? It's a win-win! |
