It's grim watching the damage assessment map slowly fill in with red from the #EatonFire in #Altadena.

Thanks to @mappingsupport for including the data layer: mappingsupport.com/p2/gissurfe…

@lizalps@bsky.social has put together a spreadsheet of all the Hollywood crew GoFundMes she could find - the below-the-line people I mentioned earlier, who were already struggling before the fires. Many have been funded, which is marvelous, but there are many which aren't even at 25%. Help if you can, share if you can't - it's all good.

A couple of our friends lost everything in the Eaton Fire. One has already hit their target on their GoFundMe, so I’ll link here to the other: Robert Smith and his wife gofundme.com/f/house-lost-in-e…

Robert is a cinematographer, and all his gear is gone now, so if you camera nerds in my network have a few bucks to spare, I know Robert and his wife would appreciate it.

Another thing.

#Altadena is a historically Black neighborhood. Tied into the work that John Brown’s sons did after his death and their migration west, along with being a free state, Altadena #California was one of the only cities to outlaw redlining, allowing Black families to purchase houses in the developing area.

This is why so many legendary African Americans come from this area - from Octavia to the directorial icon John Singleton.

It’s devastating on several levels.

One more for you: Kedra was our neighbor up until about 2 weeks ago, when she moved into a new home in Altadena. She is a wonderful person and talented art director and could really use some support if you are able to share. gofundme.com/f/kedra-dawkins-l…

If you want to send help, there is a legendary bookstore in Alta/Pasadena called “Octavia’s Shelf” that is currently doing amazing relief work for the community. Find their contact info, connect with them, and see how you can support both their business and their efforts. #EatonFire #Altadena #Pasadena #OctaviasShelf

I needed to do something for Los Angeles, so I just donated $100 to World Central Kitchen who has staff on scene now helping to feed both first responders and displaced residents.

One of the reasons I always choose this charity is that they do not pummel you with requests after you donate. And...Jose Andres is just an awesome human being. And good starts at the top.

Yeah I’m calling it.
This is going to be worse than the Northridge earthquake and the ‘94 Malibu fires combined. In terms of buildings, heritage/history and lives lost.

Octavia Butlers house gone. Jackie Robinsons house is gone. Will rogers estate lost. Abolitionist John Brown’s site gone. The legendary 150 year old Christmas tree lane destroyed. #JPL #NASA in the line of fire.

#Altadena barely exists anymore. #Pasadena is going to shift forever. It is heartbreaking. #eatonfire #LAWildfires

#eatonfire Calling family is spotty, calls keep dropping, internet in Crescenta Valley is slow. I'm texting screenshots of evac order maps to my family.

Crescenta Valley now has to evacuate through La Tuna Canyon

.@weatherwest has been livecasting intermittently through today. If you want weather/fire information, he's a good source.

My wife's brother and his wife lost everything to the Eaton fire today in Altadena, CA.

I've just started this GoFundMe with their blessing, to help them raise money to find a new place and begin to rebuild their belongings.

Any help appreciated, even boosts. Thanks! #EatonFire #Altadena #fire #gofundme #disaster gofundme.com/f/help-michael-br…

Dead air on the NOAA weather radio channel. I think the fires maybe took out the station?
