It might just be me, but I've found local TV news coverage of the LA fires to be mostly terrible. It's low on information and high on disaster porn/drama, and a fair bit of it has been wildly misleading. They cannot shake their bog standard reporting templates for this critical event.
- On-scene reporters asking people who are literally running around putting out spot fires at their house if they could stop for an interview.
- Picking through the ashes of houses and putting burnt photo albums and other destroyed personal items on camera.
- Certain helicopter reporters yelling mostly low information nonsense for half an hour.
- Obviously wholly unqualified opining on emergency response, and evacuations that has caused massive confusion (no, NBC4, all of LA isn't under a boil-water alert from the DWP).
There's an opportunity here for local TV news to be a useful asset for the community, and they're all too frequently blowing it.

@stacey_campbell What LA news needs to do is to hire competent fire analysts to do a play by play. What they do, instead, is they have people who don't know anything about wildfires yammering. I turn off the volume, it's useless info.
I like to think of it as using your Lifestyle/Fashion reporter to call an NFL game. Would you do that? NO! That's what they are doing all the time.

The wind is still blowing, and the #EatonFire got bigger overnight. This is a view from a south-facing camera on Mount Wilson.

@me_valentijn @rustoleumlove @ai6yr I decided to play the 9 hole Altadena golf course 2 Dec 2011. The clubhouse happily took my money. I was on a Southwest flight that evening and there was a fair bit of stuff still in the air.
@stacey_campbell @me_valentijn @rustoleumlove Eww, dust. And valley fever spores.
