Hour 1 (10.16) Bill Handel had to leave his San Juan Capistrano home as the wind-driven Norte Fire pushed into South County backyards. He joins Tim live, plus how OCFA crews and neighbors held the line.

6:05 Bill Handel calls in after being evacuated from his San Juan Capistrano home. The Norte Fire started near Portico Del Norte in San Clemente and spread into San Juan Capistrano on Santa Ana winds.

6:20 OCFA hit the fire hard from the air and on the ground. A San Juan Capistrano homeowner was about to open a beer when he spotted a hotspot flaring up behind his house.

6:35 OCFA gives an update at its press conference. The fire started around 11:30 a.m. as a vegetation fire. Evacuation orders went out for parts of San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, homes were lost, a firefighter was taken to the hospital, and power was knocked out across the area.

6:50 Crews keep the fire inside its current footprint and say they have plenty of water. Neighbors jumped in to help, including one man whose grandfather lost everything in the Palisades Fire.

Hour 2 (10.16) A Mission Viejo lung doctor on the mask that actually filters wildfire smoke and when to head to the ER. Plus: the winless Kings are favored over Boston?

7:05 Dr. Robert Goldberg is a pulmonologist at Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, next to the Norte Fire. He covers which mask actually filters smoke, who is most at risk, the warning signs of respiratory distress, and when to go to the hospital. He also gives the best settings for home and car air filters and your AC.

7:20 Santa Ana winds left Southern Californians without power again. Tim makes the case for a real emergency kit: a water pump, a generator and a chainsaw. Then he admits he changed his chainsaw blade while it was still plugged in.

7:35 The Kings are off to their worst start since 1997–98, and they’re somehow favored over the Bruins on Saturday. How is Boston the underdog? Plus, some SoCal Edison customers head into a second day without power.

7:50 Battery backup or gas? We compare Jackery power stations for keeping the fridge running with Pulsar inverter generators. Inverters throttle the engine to match the load, run quieter than open-frame contractor generators, and put out clean power for electronics. They’re the better choice when a blackout lasts for days.

8:05 Santa Ana winds have Southern California in the dark from San Luis Obispo to San Diego. Then there’s the graffiti crew: prosecutors say four men, including an LADWP employee, used climbing gear to tag downtown and Mid-Wilshire buildings, filmed it with drones, and profited from the vandalism.

8:20 The Norte Fire may have started on a hillside with no recorded wildfire in decades, while most of the area’s fire history sits farther east. It’s the same week the Long Beach Peninsula is still recovering from waves that broke through its bulkhead.

8:35 NFL handicapper Sammy Long (@thesammylong on X) picks the weekend: Chargers at Chiefs, Texans at Jaguars, Bills at Raiders, Cowboys at Packers, and 49ers vs. Commanders. Plus his Gold Star Game and everyone’s worst bad beat.

8:50 Blackouts, a Kelvin wave, floods, fires, red flag winds, and the Dodgers’ three-peat run ended by a Brewers sweep. It’s a lot. Then: the most dangerous room in your house is the bathroom.
