Our household is registered with SCE for text message alerts regarding power outages, but not a peep from them about this one. If you search a bit, you can find info about it on the City of Malibu web site's alert center. We learned about it via KNX1070 on Twitter.

Meanwhile, here's Malibu Canyon Road yesterday, near the Rindge Dam, where drifts of fire retardant color the steep mountain slopes.
