Ok… that’s enough with the #earthquakes today. I’m done. So is my dog. Where did you feel it? We are in the TriValley.

THAT #earthquake was not messing around. Definitely bigger than the first one at 6:30a or so. Where did you feel it? We are in the TriValley.

Late last night @AntiochPolice arrested Ryan Hardy in connection with the shooting last week where an 11-year-old girl was shot in the back of the head. Police say she was not the intended target of the shooting. She is still at Children’s Hospital in Oakland.

Did anyone else just feel that #earthquake? I’m in the Tri-Valley and it was one hard shake. For a second I thought something hit the house. Anyone else? Where did you feel it?

Additional TSA screening happening on flights from SFO to New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl. All passengers boarding this @united flight to MSY are required to show ID. Flights to Newark and Denver at neighboring gates do not have additional security personnel. @KPIXtv

I’d love to say this is the last big fire I’d ever have to cover, but somehow I doubt that will be the case. If/when it does happen, we will be there looking for the helpers.

We are heading home after covering the #PalisadesFire & the #EatonFire since Weds. I am honored & humbled so many people shared their stories with us - stories of survival & loss, hope & heartbreak.

Nighttime air drops near Mandeville Canyon on the #PalisadesFire. I’ve never seen anything like it. The skill and precision needed to do this during the day is one thing. At night?! Next level. Also seeing dozers and hand crews working in the same area to cut lines.

Painting the town red with Phos-Chek up on Mandeville Canyon earlier this afternoon. The winds were pushing the #PalisadesFire down toward the homes on the west side of the road. Tons of engine crews were in position for structure defense. Lots of water drops too.

More than a dozen @LASD_RBLX units heading toward the new evacuation zone at the #PalisadesFire. Santa Ana winds have calmed and now more onshore winds are pushing the Palisades Fire inland toward Encino and Brentwood.

We were able to find more helpers today in the #EatonFires as we are hearing stories from those who stayed behind. Neighbors helping neighbors, often times people they didn’t even know.

The @TheCalGuard is now here around the perimeter of the evacuation zone at the #EatonFire. This is at Lake Ave. There is a curfew for the evacuation zones from 6pm-6am to protect from looters. Same deployment happened after the Santa Rosa fires in 2017 to secure the areas there.

Red Flag warnings continue in the area of the #EatonFire until 6pm tonight. Today crews are still focused on putting out any hot spots that could reignite and damage homes that are still standing. We found a crew from @OaklandFireCA doing just that in the NW part of Altadena.

In any tough situation, you always want to look for the helpers. Today we found some in the #EatonFire as we were following a task force from @SantaRosaFire These are stories of hope.

We are back inside the #EatonFire today in Altadena. The focus is on putting out hot spots to keep embers from igniting remaining homes & businesses if the winds pick up in the flats later today. Aircraft have already been grounded along the ridge tops here because of high winds.
