If memory serves, that's Dan Osman. Definitely a bit crazy. You can find videos of him soloing Lover's Leap, and the book Fall of the Phantom Lord is a bit illuminating.

Most of the Palisades have burnt (very expensive area).  They are saying 1000's of houses.  100's of beach front Malibu area houses burnt.  Pretty crazy!  Colored areas are heat areas, so some sort of fire at least.  Some areas are clearly totally burnt down.

I'm writing this from memory but I heard a podcast about California's fire problem a couple of years ago. Due to watering ban because of water shortage, Californians are not allowed to water their grass or spray down their houses to keep from burning and they don't allow people to stay and fight the fires (Australia by contrast, trains citizens how to fight fires so they don't have as much property loss). Anyways, a company recently offered to build a desalination plant which would alleviate the water shortage problem and IIRC the whole place would then be sold to the state for $1 after 25 years. But, Californians voted against it because some small marine life might get caught in the intake screens.

Weren't all the state capitols up there to disrupt our leadership? I was shocked that moving from a state capitol with the largest US Army recruit training center to a sleepy, rural, Appalachian town made me more likely to be nuked.

They were, yes.
