This was Zuma Beach in Malibu as the fire marched to the Pacific Ocean, a burning version of Noah's Arc ... Unbelievable photo by @WallySkalij http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-zuma-beach-fire-horses-20181109-

Horses, dogs and humans seek refuge in Zuma Beach as fire burns into Malibu

Smoke-choked Zuma Beach has become a refuge for humans, dogs and horses fleeing the Woolsey fire burning into Malibu.
....

When Talley Hutcherson got the evacuation order to leave her Old Agoura home earlier that morning, she didn’t have enough time to properly transport her horses.

“There was just no time to do anything,” Hutcherson, 57, the owner of Connemara Ranch said. “Within hours we had to make the decision to come to the beach because the PCH was shut down."

She brought four of horses down to beach then drove to a second location to gather another six. She abandoned her car there and rode the horses to the beach with a help of a friend. Then she returned to retrieve her car, flames danced 100 yards away.

1. I think I heard those are alpacas

This is very near where I was married on the beach.

2. This is the second time in 11 years that Malibu burned all the way to the ocean.

This is really, really bad since the weather is DRY and the Santa Ana winds are whipping all over again tonight.

3. HORSES NOT STANDING???

When it is very cold or horses are tired they are off their hoofs. It ain't cold in this area.......Who set the fires and why???
