Possibly good news from RPFS site...

On the Today show, Al Roker was reporting in from the Glen Helen fire HQ, which according to other posters is on the park site of the Glen Helen pavilion (formerly Blockbuster, now Hundai I think), which is also the site of RPFS. So if they haven't had to evac yet, then the site appears to be ok so far.

Updated, 12:00 EST (9:00 PST): The MSNBC reporter is still at the same Glen Helen site (even without the faire site on screen, its easy to pick out because its got the only green grass for miles in that valley), so things may still be ok over there.

Does any LA or SD news site really have LOCAL news?

Most of the LA TV station's "news" sites don't give any decent local news coverage at all. All I keep seeing are rehashes of the exact same (now 8 hours old) API story from this morning.

I mean, in DC, when you go to http://www.wtopnews.com/ you get serious LOCAL news updated hourly, as you would if you hit washingtonpost.com. Yet even the LA Times hasn't posted a reasonable update to the situations since the Simi Valley fire crossed 118, and that was hours ago...

*sigh*

Just want more details that the web just isn't giving...I'd give just about anything for west coast's local news on tv right now...

How I've always viewed that question...
