This is really great journalism. Thank you for documenting this. My hubby went to high school there. I used to work in palisades as did my son. So many sacred memories from Temescal, and so many memories of walking with clients down those residential streets to facilitate finding resource and grounding as they slowly healed their trauma. It’s heartbreaking, all of this.
Sad that in my 20+ years of being a photographer, I never got a press pass, sigh.
I have not seen any reporting on the ground like this from any other media outlet or publication. Drone surveys yes but nothing like this. Stay strong and safe. Your guidance, as usual, spot on.
“Help anyone you can. Even if it’s just one person, you could provide a kindness they never realized they were owed. What matters is surviving. Everything else can be rebuilt.”
This. This is everything that makes us human. Thank you.
Boy, the winds have certainly changed direction as far as who is to blame...and it's really gonna get worse for those in command of the city and state. And who some are looking to blame in on our people as some type of wrath. I will leave it at that but will be helping out through some donations, the cause is not the primary focus, the people, the survivors, need our help.. thanks for being on the front line and reporting.. glad to know you are not going it alone..
The Reznicks are being targeted on multiple platforms. While there's plenty to criticize about anyone worth billions, they're just an easy target here, as if they're the ones who didn't allow LA to fill up or build more reservoirs (those 117 million gallons missing from that Palisades reservoir may have saved some homes, we'll never know). This is one of the first great disasters in the age of a totally unbridled social media Wild West. A thousand conspiracy theories will abound and we can be sure us diabolical Jooz will be the target of many. As always, Eve, phenomenal journalism. I know of no one putting more heart and soul into covering this incredible tragedy. My father's home burned down in a massive Malibu wildfire 30 years ago. Memories of that day still haunt me, but he rebuilt and lived another 20 years in his beloved seaside paradise. LA always rises anew.
Just heard Jaime Lee Curtis comments, totally appalled. Comparing the destruction to Gaza. Daughter of Tony Curtis, you are now dead to me. She turns my stomach with stupid remarks. Another celeb off my do not watch list. Very few left to support..
Great reporting again Eve but once again, as I asked you earlier this week, you need to think out side the box. We usually have one big fire that does incredible damage due to the incompetence and mismanagement of our state.
Since October 8th the Hamas folks have been yelling threats, with intifada getting louder and louder. We both know what Intifada means and what it means. New Year’s Eve it was one guy in New Orleans. Now it’s multiple fires in different areas everywhere, with the right conditions and Hamas supporters gleefully enjoying the devastation of Jewish homes in the Palisades
for a war in Gaza.
They brought the FBI in now which means this might be more serious. New Orleans was terrorism and it’s my personal assessment that this is too.
Conspiracy fantasy isn’t my game. You are making assumptions while thinking outside the box. I deal in facts and there is absolutely zero indication that this was an act of terrorism.
As a side note, I've seen many Israel-haters post on X that G-d is "burning America" to "punish" America for supporting Israel's "burning of Gaza." They never miss an opportunity to express their hatred for America, even if it exposes their cold hearted lack of empathy for Californians who have lost everything. The fires don't care about politics or religious beliefs, but moronic Jew-haters don't get that.
Katie Halper, anti Zionist, socialist "Jew" has found the cause of the fire in her latest utube; "Meet the EVIL Billionaire Couple That Controls California’s Water". Reznick (da Joos) of course, to the delight of her 250k Muslim, national socialist and socialist fans in the hate comments.
Our friend lost everything in the home he raised his 3 children in. Like you said, vaporized. I hate the idea that this is a "rich area." So many families lived in small cottages to give their kids a good public school education b/c going private was out of their means. We gave him enough stuff to start out again in an apartment for at least the time being. I can only pray that the government does what is right and that Newsome and Bass are sued or go to jail.

This. This is everything that makes us human. Thank you.
I’ve never read a report where the journalist’s soul shines through. You are wise beyond your years, Eve. 🙏
I love that the Israel flag was unscathed. The in-tact Porsche is a touch of random mystery.
OMG those pics are reminiscent of what Pompeii would've looked like in 79AD!! Incredible!!😲

On my do not watch list. I heard her say it. No conspiracy theories.. this message of comparison is harmful to Jews..it's just not helpful.
I don’t follow celebs much but will now completely ignore her.

Shavuot Tov, keep up the excellent reporting.🐺🎗️

The scenes are truly apocalyptic.

Another one to ignore.

Thank you Eve Barlow for channeling some Albert Camus in this desolation. He would have approved.
Eve, thanks. I grew up in the Palisades and went to Pali High. I have evacuated friends staying with us. Stay safe everyone and keep praying 🙏.
