I just went up to the top of the hill where I live, overlooking the ridge by Stunt and Las Flores area, looks much better than yesterday, no planes, no smoke visible, winds still strong in our favor. Anyone have any updates? I haven’t heard /found any updates on the fire line headed to Topanga.

Updates resuming shortly. Good luck. Latest news out of T-CEP is that Topanga is closed to ANYONE, including residents. If you go out you can't come back. @g Yes. Updates resuming shortly. Good luck.

The fire is stalling under the ridge near Las Flores... Hopefully that is true and we'll all get a good nights rest, at least..

LA Times had a piece with a guy from NASA/JPL in La Canada who was saying the winds should die down Wed afternoon. Hope you were able to get in and get out.

I believe a CHP officer at Topanga and Mulholland is checking IDs and letting residents in -- but that information could be old. Make sure that your license has your Topanga address on it. If it doesn't have that (mine doesn't) I'd carry a couple of utility bills with you to prove that you live where you say you do. @Brett — As far as I can tell, you’re still in a voluntary evacuation zone.

Thanks a bunch! Don't make life-or-death decisions based on it, though. I'm doing the best I can, but my sources are often vague and contradictory. @Brett — Yep, that’s me. Thanks a bunch!

Let me add that I welcome additions from other people -- if you've got information, photos, sources of info, or anything useful, please send it my way! jschofield@gmail.com Thanks again for the compliment. I'm very glad this serves more of a purpose than calming my nerves with information overload. Thanks very much, M and Brett!

It is by far the best info out there. I am in Topanga, finding it difficult to get real info. The commercial news stations are just putting out over sensationalized infotainment with little usable news for us folks in harms way. Thank you SO MUCH for creating and updating this.

The eastern extent is past Sweetwater, nearing but about halfway between Sweetwater and Carbon Mesa. As far as I can tell, assuming my overlay was lined up right.
