Watching for Fires in LA

[OKW Lover]

With the news now reporting even more wide spread fires in the LA area I'm wondering if any of the ABD trips there are being affected.

Of course they are. Lowes Hotel and Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame at The Chinese Theater are in LOS-Q1127, which is in Evacuation Order Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to LEAVE NOW. The area is lawfully closed to public access.

Just me, but I would be pro active and contact them directly.

I'll be interested to hear what happens to your ABD. My guess is that they will change hotels for the first two nights.

Post their answer soon.

Called them. No decision made yet as to if it’s on or not. They will email and or call us to let us know. They are monitoring things there. So…we will see. The vacationista wasn’t aware that the Loews Hotel was in an evacuation zone.

I would say you are good to go. The Sunset fire evacuation's have been or will be lifted in the next few hours and the fire is contained. Im in Ireland and following the fire updates online in real time.

I am also on the trip this Sunday. I called and was told it is still a go. As stated previously they will call us with any changes. There is also a chance that they will change accommodations wrt Loews.

Also I think they have dropped/reduced the evacuation orders for the area.

I just got the phone call, they are canceling

Sorry to hear that the ABD is being canceled but I'm sure it is for the best.

Here is a link to a fascinating map of the fires. With thanks to MaryJo. @WebmasterMaryJo
