Always good to have a plan to get out of Dodge.  I hope you stay safe.  The footage is alarming.  I have never seen anything like it in modern times.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I know of a GT500 KR convertible that was in Palisades and it did not survive.

Prayers to the owner and everyone slammed by this event.

Our prayers go out to all those affected.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Most collector cars in the palisades likely didn't make it.By coincidence I was very close to the point of origin getting ready to surf when it kicked off,watched the flames coming straight down the canyon and bugged out.Very windy,straight offshore,never saw a brush fire( and I have seen many)move that fast...A couple hours after I got home I looked up at the San Gabriel's and saw the initial plume in Eaton Canyon 2 miles away...smoke blowing straight toward my home by 75 m.p.h.winds.Scariest night of my life.I was lucky though,wind damage only.others....

Prayers are needed for the mass of people in this disaster. From my childhood I can tell you that not everyone is a "celebrity" with a house in Colorado or New York to go to. Most of these people are hard working folks who fight to stay in homes that have been in their lives for years. Insurance companies pulled out over the last couple of years and now....just like North Carolina hurricane folks they need to be given a hand. They are good people that got the wrong flip of the coin.

That hurts to see, so sorry for them.  Can't even imagine what that must be like.
