Austin Creek SRA is open!
It has been closed since the Woolsey fire tore through in 2020.

Scorched redwoods in this picture are fuzzy top to bottom - I guess this is how they do fire, or maybe they're masquerading as cell towers.

This is near Bullfrog Pond - transformed from it's previous look.

Southern California Edison is asking California's Public Utilities Commission to let them charge customers an extra few billion dollars to pay for their losses in Ventura County's #ThomasFire. In a few days they'll ask for more rate increases to pay for the #WoolseyFire. Hell of a deal; they burn down customers' houses then get customers to pay for it.

Those damages should be paid by SCE shareholders that have been profiting off of the company's failure to maintain and upgrade their grid.

> Woolsey was the last megafire to blast Los Angeles. It burned nearly a hundred thousand acres around Malibu, destroyed more than 1,500 structures. I asked Davis back then what he expected..once the flames died down. “Bigger mansions,” he said. “What tends to disappear is rental properties, trailer parks, people who don’t have adequate insurance.”
> There’s a lot of Luigi Mangione in the air..I didn’t sense that during Woolsey.

As Los Angeles burns, the writer Rosecrans Baldwin hears echoes of the furious, compassionate late intellectual.

Ah, yes. Tonight is the 6 year anniversary of the Borderline Shooting, tomorrow is the 6 year anniversary of the Woolsey Fire (reminder on the Mountain Fire briefing). Apparently this is not an auspicious date. #BorderlineStrong #WoolseyFire #MountainFire #CAwx #VenturaCounty

"Analysis shows non-native cover is rising in the Santa Monica Mountains without the influence of fire since 2014, with compounding effects after the 2018 Woolsey Fire"

Rising non-native cover in the Santa Monica Mountains threatens native biodiversity and increases fire risk

A new analysis of plant data in the Santa Monica Mountains, in Sounthern California published in the journal Ecosphere shows a steady increase in non-native plant cover since 2014, and rapid regrowth of non-native annual grass and herbaceous species after the 2018 Woolsey Fire, which burned nearly 80% of the entire region. Furthermore, a region of dense non-native cover was found in the Northern Simi Hills region where biodiversity is significantly low and the native species are at risk of further reduction. These results indicate that the Santa Monica Mountains are at high risk of losing the native plants that support their unique ecosystem. In addition, the invasive plants that are spreading bring with them an increased risk of damaging wildfires.

We're very happy to have a chapter in this new Cambridge University Press book on responses to natural disasters, an adaptation of our 2020 Louisiana Law Review article. This is especially poignant this weekend, the 4th anniversary of the #WoolseyFire and its aftermath that I document here.
