WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.240 KFI AM six forty. 3 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:15.720 KFI. 4 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.079 Mister mo Kelly, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 5 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.160 And we've been asking for rain. 6 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.079 We've been hoping for rain, praying for rain, even begging 7 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:28.760 for rain. And the rain at least to according to 8 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.280 Mark Ronner and most weathercasts supposed to be here by 9 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.960 the end of the week. In the next day or two, 10 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.799 how much well, maybe a tenth to a half an 11 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.200 inch of rain to most areas of southern California if 12 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.399 you count through Sunday. Quote, local amounts up to one 13 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.520 inch are possible across south facing slopes of the San 14 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.479 Gabriel Mountains. And that's according to the National Weather Service. 15 00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.799 Might even see thunderstorms. The Weather Service says snowfall amounts 16 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.439 will range from two to five inches above five thousand feet, 17 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.719 with local amounts of up to ten inches at the resorts. 18 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.799 And I know Mark Ronner knows a little bit about 19 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:20.400 Greek mythology. If I said scilla and sharpittis, I say, look, 20 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:22.000 I don't you dare correct me. 21 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.840 Mister Ronner. Sorry, what were you saying? 22 00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.920 Is that the Odyssey no Iliad. No, which one is it? 23 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.879 What are you trying to say? No, rock and a 24 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.439 hard place? Basically, oh yeah, between Scilla and Caribis is 25 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:43.760 just it's an old saying. I'm all, no, No, I 26 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.200 think it's from the Iliad, if I'm not miss so 27 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.040 from a also from a police song, I think, isn't it? 28 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.680 Are you quoting Sting no is as part of no? 29 00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:01.000 I think the mythology pre dates Sting. But the point 30 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.359 is it's almost like, well, if you want rain, okay, 31 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.400 but with it most likely comes mudslides. 32 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.560 All right? Do you want to know the story on? Yes? Please? 33 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:13.039 Between Scylla and Charybdis is an idiom deriving from Greek mythology, 34 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.800 which has been associated that right with the proverbial advice 35 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.120 to choose the lesser of two evils. 36 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:18.719 Got that right? 37 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:21.719 Several other idioms, such as on the horns of a 38 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.759 dilemma between the devil and the deep blue sea, and 39 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.159 between a rock and a hard place. That's press similar meanings. 40 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.199 So no, but but what work is it from? I 41 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:34.120 think it's from the Iliad. They were mythical sea monsters. No, 42 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.759 I'm saying from what story? Let's see Homer Homer mentioned them. 43 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:41.039 Okay, that's that's the Iliad, thank you very much, got 44 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:41.400 that right. 45 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.280 That'll be too quick with that they have. There's way 46 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.479 too there's a surfea. There's too much information on it, 47 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.199 a lot to wade through. 48 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:51.439 Here. 49 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:57.199 On old Wikipedia, it says Scilla is a six headed 50 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.439 monster in Greek mythology who appears in the Odyssey. 51 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.520 Oki Dok. My point being yes. 52 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.639 Around the world, thinking I should go outside and wait 53 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.400 for you to arrive at the verb or the point 54 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.400 or whatever the point is for all the bad news 55 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.719 that the fires have given us, and we know that 56 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.599 is let's say that's the rock. 57 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.039 We know we're going to get some rain this weekend. 58 00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:29.120 And on the surface you would think, yes, we want rain, 59 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.280 but it may present another disaster with the mud. 60 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.800 Slides as well. 61 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.719 It is really a be careful what you wish for 62 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.120 a situation, right, And which goes back to what I 63 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.360 was saying at the very top. 64 00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:43.159 It's like ken La slash Southern California, catch or break. 65 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.439 I don't, I don't think. So It's like if you 66 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.400 would have asked us what do we need? We need rain? 67 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.520 We need rain, and yes, we'll get rain, and then 68 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.039 we might have to turn around and literally the next 69 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.360 day or two because of these burn scars as they're called, 70 00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:01.039 deal with the immediate impact of blood slides, and that 71 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.800 could take out even more homes depending on where we're 72 00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:07.400 talking about in the city, especially in Tula. I know 73 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.879 you know something about this, especially in Alta Dina. 74 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.639 Where the terrain slopes that automatically slopes down, and I 75 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.519 can only imagine all that debris just flowing downhill. If 76 00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:28.600 we get a significant enough rain. I'm hoping we just 77 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.360 get a drizzle. Let us get just a little something 78 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.360 to help quiet down or tamper down some of these 79 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.839 blazes and get us to that point because we don't 80 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:38.360 need a lot. 81 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:39.839 We don't need a dluge. 82 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.000 Yeah, we don't need that, but we probably will because 83 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:47.480 we never get anything in reasonable proportion. Yes, we have 84 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.399 a fire season, This is an unreasonable proportion. 85 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.160 I think most people would agree. 86 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.040 Yes, we had that rain season last year, but that 87 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.519 wasn't a reasonable proportion. It seems like it's all or 88 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.720 nothing to there's nothing in between. There's no nuance to 89 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.680 our weather, unfortunately. But this is one of those moments 90 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:10.040 where we want rain, but not too much, too fast, 91 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.040 too soon or we're dealing with a different set of 92 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.439 disasters as early as next week. 93 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:17.959 You know, we're talking about if we get. 94 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.160 As much rains as being forecast, we could have areas 95 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.480 of flash flooding as well, flash flooding mud slides. And 96 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.879 then we're right back here talking about another disaster for 97 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.879 southern California where it won't be the fires, but it 98 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:33.639 will be flash flooding and mud slides. 99 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.519 And I just think about the Palisades as well, and 100 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.959 how that area has been impacted and how bad a 101 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.600 really heavy rain will be then that area as well. 102 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.560 It's you set it at the top of the show. 103 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.319 Can we get a break? We really need one now. 104 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.000 We need rain to help our firefighters. We need rain 105 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.160 to assist in areas where there is no water to 106 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.560 be drawn. We absolutely need that. But God, please hear 107 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:10.959 us here. Our prayers do not drown us in muck 108 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.560 and debris and toxic chemicals that just make the land 109 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.560 all but damn. 110 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.160 To your point, Tuala La County public Works, they've already 111 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.360 mobilized their twenty four to seven storm patrols. If you're wondering, 112 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.759 are we preparing for this as opposed to just sitting 113 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.079 back and waiting for it to happen. All flood controlled 114 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.560 dams and channels have been prepared, according to La County 115 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.839 public Works, Concrete barriers, you know, those k rails, they're 116 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.959 being deployed to divert those debris flows that you were 117 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.680 talking about, Touala, and crews are filling sandbags for businesses 118 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.560 and residents in areas impacted by the fires as we speak. 119 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.319 And this is something that you can prepare for to 120 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.000 a certain extent, but it's all It all depends on 121 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.120 the amount of rain we have. You know, we can 122 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:06.079 not too much, hopefully not that unreasonable amount that we're 123 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.319 talking about, and hopefully we won't have to come behind 124 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:13.240 one disaster with another disaster. Yes we want the rain, 125 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.720 but no, we don't want the debris flow, we don't 126 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.639 want the mud slides, and we don't want other people, 127 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.279 more people to lose their houses. 128 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:22.600 You know. 129 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.920 Please, Southern California, can you please catch one break? And 130 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.879 Mark Ronner, thank you for correcting me. I know you 131 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.879 enjoyed that, are you You're acknowledging this? Wow, Let's make 132 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.519 sure don't ruin it. Don't ruin it. Let me enjoy 133 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:44.040 this moment. It happens so seldom. Okay, all done, Okay, 134 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.079 six forty We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. And 135 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.160 to be serious when we come back. We made mention 136 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.879 of these mud slides and also how certain communities are 137 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.759 preparing for these possible mud slides. 138 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:58.160 We talked about Altadena. 139 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.399 We'll talk more about Altadena and what that city is 140 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.560 doing for the mud slides if they should come. 141 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:04.360 That's next. 142 00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.519 You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from 143 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:51.159 KFI AM six forty. 144 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.200 KFI alright Heart Radio app. Mo Kelly Here. 145 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.879 Altadena I think has gotten it worse than anywhere else. 146 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.360 The residents of Altadena have gotten it worse in my estimation, 147 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:47.360 than anywhere else for a number of reasons, but also 148 00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:53.159 because of circumstances. Altaedina and I would include Pasadena in 149 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:58.919 this next portion. They got through the fires Altaedna. When 150 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.440 I say got through, most of it's gone. Start there, 151 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.879 most of Altadena as we knew it, Remember it is 152 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:10.279 gone on the other side of that, and correct me 153 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.840 if I'm wrong. Told I think they've just recently reopened 154 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.799 certain neighborhoods for people to go back up there. 155 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.559 Soft openings you have to have your id to go 156 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.639 up the hill, and they don't suggest you stay up 157 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.879 there because with the winds the way they were blowing 158 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:26.480 even earlier today. 159 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:27.399 All that. 160 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.879 Dust, all that ash, all that in the air, it's 161 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.720 not good for your health. So if you are going, 162 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.600 please heed the advice of every health advocate out there, 163 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.759 wear in ninety five goggles, full painter suit if you can. 164 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.879 But yeah, Wednesday, let's say a lot of this started 165 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:53.600 happening where they were at least residents former residence. Former 166 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:58.039 residence were allowed to go back and survey the damage. 167 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.240 And there are those people who have some semblance of 168 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:06.960 a house left and given that, there won't be enough 169 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:11.879 time to either search through the house or prepare the 170 00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.679 house for this weekend. What I mean by that is, 171 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.440 with the rain that we're talking about that is coming 172 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:23.159 that we all theoretically would want, it provides a new 173 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:27.480 danger and a new threat to the remaining houses, an 174 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:31.799 all toa dina. And when I say danger, there's a 175 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.480 sixty to eighty percent chance of a small amount of 176 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.960 rain for southern California that we talked about. Keep that 177 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:41.480 in mind, small amount, but up to an inch of 178 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:48.399 rain could be disastrous. For all to Dina quote, even 179 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.720 a drop of rain will flow seven times greater than 180 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:57.159 it did prior to the fires. And that's Lisa der 181 00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:03.720 Derderian Derdairian, who's a Pasadena city spokesperson. We see in 182 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.200 these foothills where the fire has burned deep into the roots, 183 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.159 there's nothing left holding the soil on the ground. And 184 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.320 she's talking about Pasadena, but above that is Altadena, so 185 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.879 it has to go through Altadena first before presumably it 186 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.159 would hit Pasadena. So if there are any mud slides, Altadena's 187 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.080 going to have to deal with them first, am I right? 188 00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.240 Absolutely? And you also have to take into consideration with 189 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.320 the way these houses fell, with the way many of 190 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.919 them just fell from the roof straight down. All the debris, 191 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.799 all the rubble on the ground has blocked a lot 192 00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:40.240 of the pathways and ways that water escapes through the 193 00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:44.080 streets into the gutters, and the drainage system which is 194 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:47.080 all but clogged in Altadena, which is going to allow 195 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.759 all that water to just either pile up in places 196 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.639 and come down or just come straight down period. 197 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:56.919 A thirty six member CalFire strike team from northern California 198 00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:02.200 spent most of yesterday and today making sandbags which will 199 00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.600 be distributed to various locations throughout both cities and for 200 00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.360 pickup later this week. Not a lot of time in between. 201 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.080 You got maybe today tomorrow, possibly Friday before the rains come. 202 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.039 Or you got today tomorrow Friday, if you're going to 203 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.919 at least assess the damage at your property, make an 204 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:27.399 insurance claim, take pictures all that, you won't have much 205 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.000 time to do anything in the next Basically, we want 206 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:31.279 to talk about two days now. 207 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.200 And my appointment is on Monday. 208 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.559 So I'm oh, man, I'm real salty about this rain 209 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.759 coming right now. Depending on what it does, I'm like, oh, 210 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.399 those are going Monday. 211 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:42.919 No. 212 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.759 How are most people, when I say most people, the 213 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:48.679 people that you've been in contact with, because you talked 214 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.080 about dozens and dozens of people that you knew personally, 215 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.720 ye who lost their homes, How are they processing dealing 216 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.840 with this moment to the month's light even mean anything? 217 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.039 At this point, At this point, most people I'm talking 218 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.240 to and interacting with, they're absolutely numb. They are not 219 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.879 dealing with this well at all. There are people who 220 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:16.039 who don't even know what to do. I mean, they 221 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.159 don't know if they should put up a go fund me, 222 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.200 and many of those who have are now worried that 223 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:26.200 their go fundme pages are going to impact whatever money 224 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:27.399 is that they were going to get. 225 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:28.120 From their insurance. 226 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:30.720 How does that work, because you know, they're trying to 227 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.080 see if their plan counts it as a gift or 228 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.679 actual monies earned that's supposed to be taking care. There's 229 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.679 just so much confusion, and there are fifty eleven different 230 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:46.799 organizations in Altadena giving out tons and tons of great information, 231 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:51.000 but it's tons and tons of great information, and it's 232 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.759 hard to sort through all of that, and each person 233 00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:56.759 has a different on the surface need. Even though we're 234 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:00.720 all dealing with this loss, everyone has a different question 235 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.360 and there is no one spot in one place to 236 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.639 gather information from it. Hey talk to FEMA, Hey talk 237 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.080 to Judy chu, Hey talk to this, talk to everybody. 238 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:14.919 And everyone's just like, I don't know what to make 239 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:19.039 of this. So people are are frantic, they're crying people. 240 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.960 I know people who have gone up today and even 241 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.759 some tried to go up yesterday and some of the 242 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:29.039 areas and they could do nothing but just cry. They 243 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:32.000 couldn't even get done what they wanted to get done 244 00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.399 because they couldn't help. The devastation is that severe that 245 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.720 they're just up there crying. They're like, I couldn't even stay. 246 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.519 I had to go to see every single thing gone. 247 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:45.559 The through line through all of this is information being 248 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.440 able to get and access the information. I think if 249 00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.840 you lost your house, well hopefully you have your phone. 250 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.320 It doesn't mean that you did have your phone or 251 00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:59.399 you have internet access and can find out the real information. 252 00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:01.559 We were talking about scams the house. Someone was trying 253 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.559 to scam you as well. 254 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.320 Yes, you know, to separate the real information from the 255 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.399 scam information, where to go, how to do it in 256 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:09.960 a timely fashion. 257 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.480 And we're going to talk about later tonight. 258 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.360 We're going to talk about how some Alzadena residents say 259 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.879 they didn't even receive the order to evacuate during the 260 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.480 Eating fire. 261 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:23.919 Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, if you weren't. 262 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.159 Listening to KFI, which is a distinct possibility, if you 263 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:32.159 weren't watching TV intently to look for an evacuation order. 264 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.480 Because we were in we work in the news, Tuala 265 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:38.960 we were aware of the situation, and I said Tuala 266 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.799 go and that was it wasn't even a mandatory evacuation 267 00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:43.679 by the time you got to your house, it was 268 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.759 mandatory evacuation. That's how quickly the situation changed. Yes, yes, 269 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.720 I got to the house. 270 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:50.919 And also I'm going to a text message from you saying 271 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.519 the evacuation is mandatory. 272 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.519 Now I'm like, I know, but that came from me, 273 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.759 not official information. So that's just me, my friend telling 274 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.279 you you know. Yes, yes, So we have to talk 275 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.480 about that. There's an information deficit in all this why 276 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.600 and I think it has contributed to why some areas 277 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.879 were hit worse. The loss of life was worse. I 278 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.200 think that's connected to it as well. And we'll deal 279 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.120 with that. And when we come back on the other 280 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.600 side of this break, we're going to get into We're 281 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.559 going to actually go back to the Hues fire, give 282 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.759 you the latest on that, let you know about the 283 00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:29.759 evacuation shelters for residents, because again it's about the flow 284 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.679 of information. And as that Hues fire, which is that 285 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.399 ninety four hundred and fifty seven acres already burned about 286 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.000 five percent contained, it's really important now, especially if you're 287 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.440 in and around that impacted area, that you have the 288 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:48.879 most recent, relevant and accurate information to make sure that 289 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.279 you and your family are safe, so we will be 290 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.960 doing that next and also you know, once again pets 291 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.799 are also being impacted by these fires, and we're going 292 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.360 to find out where you can take pets, both large 293 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:02.840 and small when we come back. 294 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.119 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 295 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:22.359 KFI AM six FORTYFI. 296 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:16.240 AM six forty. 297 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.839 Mister mo Kelly here, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 298 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:23.839 As we continue to talk about these fires, more specifically 299 00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:24.759 the Hughes fire. 300 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.920 And to update you, it's not much of an update. 301 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:31.480 It's still at ninety four hundred acres which have been burned, 302 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.920 about five percent containment. But if you have been evacuated, 303 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:41.119 here's some information you need to have. The temporary evacuation 304 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:46.119 center which was at Valencia High School that has been 305 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:49.920 relocated to Heart High School, So if you were going 306 00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.400 to go to Valencia High School, do not. It has 307 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.559 since been relocated to Heart High School, which is two 308 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:01.359 four eight two five New Hall Avenue in Santa Clarita. 309 00:18:02.839 --> 00:18:07.039 Animal shelters for large animals, you can go to the 310 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.279 Lancaster Animal Care Center which is five two one zero 311 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:16.720 West Avenue I in Lancaster, you can go to Pierce College, 312 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.119 which is six ' two zero one with Netca Avenue 313 00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:24.440 and Woodland Hills. For small animals, you can go to 314 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.920 the Palmdale Animal Care Center three eight five five zero 315 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.920 Sierra Highway in Palmdale. And if you didn't hear I 316 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.240 was saying at the beginning of the show, I kind 317 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.759 of know that area well. My wife and I La Muhir, 318 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.839 we were actually looking at property out in Palmdale. And 319 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.720 if you drive out to Palmdale, you're passing through Santa 320 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.960 Clarita Valencia all through this and if you have any 321 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:50.880 real familiarity with that terrain, it's just going to burn 322 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.319 and burn and burn. Actually, I'm surprised that it has 323 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.240 not impacted structures, but I can understand why you can 324 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:02.799 lose ten thousand acres like that but also not hit 325 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:07.519 any structures because it's just it is just rife with 326 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:11.759 areas which are dry and going to burn uncontrollably. 327 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.400 But back to the small animals. 328 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.960 If you were going to go to the Agora Animal 329 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:21.480 Care Center, which was given out earlier by different news sources, 330 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:28.119 do not because that location was deemed full as of 331 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:32.039 three point thirty pm earlier today, So do not try 332 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.880 to take your small animals or any small animals to 333 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.599 the Agura Animal Care Center. It is full and you 334 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.839 will likely be turned away. You can go to the 335 00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:47.119 Lancaster Animal Care Center, which is five to one zero 336 00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:52.359 West Avenue I in Lancaster. And yes, they're taking both 337 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.119 small and large animals that I think would be your 338 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:01.759 better bet. Hopefully and correct me if I'm wrong to allow. 339 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.759 Because we've had these dangerous and deadly fires in the 340 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:12.279 previous week and a half, people were more aware, possibly 341 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.359 more prepared for these fires impacting them. They weren't impacted 342 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.880 maybe a week and a half ago, but now they 343 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.759 kind of No. When I say the drill, that's you know, 344 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.079 maybe the wrong phraseology. That's not a drill, But I'm 345 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:28.160 saying they know what to do now. More likely people 346 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.759 had a go bag prepared. They know what that is, 347 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.920 they know what to put in it. If not, we'll 348 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.480 review it again. But because of what happened week and 349 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.599 a half or so ago, you're more prepared for dealing 350 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.839 with this, even though it may not have affected you then, 351 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.079 but it's affecting you now. 352 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.000 Oh absolutely. 353 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.319 And I know several people that I work with at 354 00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:52.319 the school live in the Santa Clarita, Palm Dell, Lancaster area, 355 00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.759 and they got those calls and they took off immediately. 356 00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.839 And many who I've been in communication with and I've 357 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.519 seen already, they're saying, hey, we're good, we made it back. 358 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.599 Bag was already packed or ready to go. They're all there, 359 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.119 we go, ready, lady to go. They were not caught unawares. 360 00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:15.000 They knew from the impact of the eating fire. They 361 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.799 knew how close in proximity just over mountain ranges that 362 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:23.319 they are. When the fires took off in West Hills 363 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.640 and started moving all around everyone in southern California, in 364 00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:32.640 any dry mountainous region right now, we are all anxious 365 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.960 when the wind starts blowing. When the wind starts blowing, 366 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.839 we all get a little tight. We all get a 367 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:40.119 little tight and see what's happening. We know for a 368 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.000 fact that there have been several arsonists who have been caught, 369 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.000 so a lot of these now we know could potentially 370 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.640 be man made. And so that's why we are such 371 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.039 we're so on guard right now. 372 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:56.680 Yes, yes, And you don't need to necessarily wait for 373 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.400 a fire to make its way to your doorstep because 374 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.839 of that arsonist component. Our go bags are still sitting 375 00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:07.519 right next to the door for a week and a half. 376 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.240 Why because we know the situation and the winds could 377 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.039 change at any given moment. And whereas you may have 378 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.680 thought that you were not in an evacuation area or 379 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.640 an impacted area all of a sudden, put it this way. 380 00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.559 I know the people who lived in Santa Clarita or 381 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.680 Valencia or a Castake when they woke up this morning, 382 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:31.480 they had no expectation of being in a burn zone area, 383 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.440 and then by ten thirty they were Yes. So you 384 00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.480 can't just assume, well, it's not going to be us, 385 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:38.240 it's not going to be my neighborhood, it's not going 386 00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:42.400 to be my city. And along those lines mandatory evacuation 387 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.960 orders you might have heard some from Mark Ronner, But 388 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:51.559 to elaborate, there's Costic, Cambridge, There's Castic Lake, Lake, Green Hill, 389 00:22:52.880 --> 00:23:01.359 Hasley Hillcrest, Paradise, ranch Ridge, Romero and Sloan. Those are 390 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:06.519 mandatory evacuation areas and neighborhoods. Go And if you were 391 00:23:06.599 --> 00:23:10.799 near those neighborhoods, I would just say just go, don't wait. 392 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.039 We talked about when Twala was evacuating. It was a 393 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.759 warning and before he even get to his house. It 394 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:18.480 was mandatory. 395 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:18.880 Yeah. 396 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:25.440 Yeah, And just this is something that you all talked about. 397 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:31.960 I remember even listening about how off the emergency alerts were. 398 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.720 I promise, if you get an alert right now, don't 399 00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:41.039 wait to wait for an mandatory evacuation alert you've been advised, 400 00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.200 go on and leave the area anyway, Get out of 401 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:46.960
