Malibu Fire Update - Tuesday, October 23, 2007

We are still stuck on campus. The Pacific Coast Highway is still closed as is Malibu Canyon, Topanga Canyon, and Kanan Road. Yesterday, we were still able to get out for a brief bit and take some back streets to Ralphs to get some much needed food. While out we took a few pictures. The first picture and this one below are actually from on campus. You can see the fire burned right down to the administration building and melted the light and burned the paint off the stop sign in the main parking lot.
These next two pictures show the damage down in Malibu next to Ralphs. For those of you familiar you will see the Malibu Yo sign on the left and see how the bank tower has collapsed. Also, you can see the standing water around the fountain left from the fire fight.

Finally, this is a picture heading back up to campus. This is looking north over the burned castle. Pepperdine is to the left of the picture and the fire is moving towards the right of the picture. For now we look to be in the clear, hopefully!
