This is good for New Mexico. Maybe @debhaalandnm should be negotiating for #Altadena and #EatonFire.
October 27, 2026 at 3:44 PM
I hear you @debhaalandnm. Speak very loud. #Altadena has seen #Zero #Federal dollars for the recovery of the 2025 #EatonFire. I truly hope you get it.

Nearly two years after the #LAFires, many survivors are still fighting their insurers: 70% of #EatonFire survivors surveyed reported delays or denials. Next Tuesday, #CaliforniaVoters have the power to change that system by electing the next #insurance commissioner. #Elections2026 #FloodRisk

#CloseFire
#EatonFire on January 7 and 8, 2025

WatchDuty updates: the Evac order for our Altadena zone was issued 5:53 am January 8. No Evac warning.

Evac order loosened to warning on Jan 19, the day we were allowed to return.
The #EatonFire (formerly known as #CloseFire) is definitely an ongoing thing in Pasadena/Altadena

This is what I see looking at the backyard East toward Eaton Canyon area.

Power is out here and we are in area not marked for evac warning or order. Gathering supplies just in case.
