    No words really - just a horror show. Some of the design choices we made here helped. But we were also very lucky.

    Also no vents or eaves and tempered glass windows. Lucky that there was bit more space from the neighbors - but unlucky that the neighbor pulled his car into driveway. Solid concrete perimeter wall probably saved us there.

    The trail of 1200° molten aluminum stands out. The neighbor moved his car into the driveway before leaving - this may have burned his house down.

    Lucky on that account. And adjacent lot demoed and scraped clean 3 weeks ago.

    A couple glass panels will require replacement. Otherwise fine. A tiny bit of ash residue collected on the interior sill there.

    Ipe floating deck - Class A rated basically as fire resistant as steel or concrete.

    Architect on this. Will share a detailed thread after the dust settles a bit.

    Monument in a suburban LA park yesterday - each post a kid killed by cars.

    A handful of my mates who kept the party going into middle age are no longer with us. Not pretty.

    Concrete blasted by the heat from the car. Can see the edge broken if zoom in.

    Houses still going up in flames when I arrived at 7:30am. Nobody around. And no water if they were.
