    It's easy for one disaster to overshadow another when they happen so close together. So let's not forget the victims of the Borderline shooting and how much of a hero Sgt. Ron Helus was that night.

    In less than an hour it will have been 1 week since I sent the tweet out that I never thought I would have to send. I never could have imagined what the next few days brought and just how physically, mentally and emotionally draining it has been for many of us.

    #WoolseyFire: With things much quieter tonight, I will be taking rest of the night off. I'll keep monitoring the scanners just in case. Check vcemergency.com and lacounty.gov/woolseyfire/ for updates.

    I forgot to mention that yesterday was the 10th birthday of this account. 10 years of tweeting things happening across the county. I have heard some crazy and memorable things over the past 10 years. Have a good night!

    After covering the Thomas Fire, I thought I was prepared to cover anything. But not this. This is absolutely heartbreaking.

    Unfortunately things have gotten to the point where I am no longer able to tweet today. I still have no power and cell phone data is now almost non existent. Tweets are taking upwards of 20 minutes to send. I am unable to relocate. Unfortunately I am being forced to sign off.

    After 32 hours, my power has been restored. Thank you to those of you that offered your homes and businesses for me to operate out of. Additionally, thanks to your support, I will be able to invest in a power backup solution in the near future.

    The strong winds today serve as a reminder that today is the 2 year anniversary of the Hill and Woolsey Fires. The two fires broke out less than 24 hours after 12 innocent people were killed in a shooting at Borderline in Thousand Oaks.
