  1. Santa Ynez is only 3.3% of the capacity of Stone Canyon Reservoir, the main supply for the Pacific Palisades. Also, a firestorm of 60mph winds with embers the size of baseballs cannot be fought by hydrants alone. Open 20 hydrants at one time and no pressure. Facts don't matter to the Woke/Right either.

  2.  @Pink-Rubix  ? I went to UNI, lived at Barrington and Mayfield. My cousins went to Pali and I have family in the evacuation zone. It's easy to check on what Stone Canyon serves. Just Grok, ChatGPT or Co-Pilot. Why do you want to believe the lie? "Yes, the main water supply to Pacific Palisades, including Stone Canyon, is provided by the **Stone Canyon Reservoir**. This reservoir, along with the smaller Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir, supplies water to the Westside water subsystem, serving around 400,000 people in the area. Is there something specific you'd like to know about the water supply or the reservoir?" Co-Pilot Even Wikipedia says the same. I was born in LA mid-century and old enough to remember the Bel-Air fire in 1961 which jumped the Sepulveda Pass and took out homes near my cousins on Tigertail. Again, why do you want to believe the lie?

  3.  @Pink-Rubix  I'll add, my family developed Barrington Plaza on Wilshire and Newbury Park in the Conejo Valley. I've also hiked and biked the trails in the Palisades and worked for the Santa Monica Mtn Conservancy. In 1972 I spent two weeks on the hillsides above PCH with a burlap sack collecting grass seed to reseed an area burned in Topanga Canyon. Again, why do you want to believe a lie? There was plenty of water for homes, but no pressure at the hydrants, which are not designed to be open 20 at a time.

  4.  @Pink-Rubix  Pacific Palisades only has a population of 24,000. My divorced father lived off Temescal Cyn in 1961. I spent summers there. We all knew it would burn hard one day.

  5.  @Pink-Rubix  I've researched this going back to the storms of 2022/23 when people said all that water ran into the ocean. That's a lie, too. We captured 96 Billion Gallons of runoff, enough for 2.4 million homes for a year. The San Fernando Valley Catch Basin, a place I played in as a kid in the 1960s, pumps groundwater to the Westside. Again, we do you want to believe the lies being told about the lack of water. The *San Fernando Valley catch basin* does pump water to the Westside of Los Angeles. The *Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP)* manages the **San Fernando Groundwater Basin**, which acts as a natural underground reservoir. The water from this basin is used to supply the cities of Los Angeles, Burbank, and Glendale. LADWP has implemented several projects to remediate and improve the groundwater system in the San Fernando Valley, ensuring a reliable water supply for the region. Would you like to know more about how this system works or any specific projects related to it? - Co-Pilot

  6.  @sirtra  "exact specifics" are easy to find you are on the internet. "use what water"?

  7. 2022/23 Los Angeles captured 96 billion gallons of runoff into the newly expanded San Fernando Catch basin - LA TIMES.
