Universal Studios Hollywood has extended its closure to a second day, as fires continue to burn in Southern California.
The theme park will be closed on Thursday, January 9 - the second day in a row that Universal has been closed due to the current conditions. Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood, which is located just down the street from Universal, also announced that it would extend its closure through Thursday as well.
Wednesday night, multiple fires broke out in the Hollywood Hills just south of Universal and the studio district. Meanwhile, the Eaton Fire has devastated much of the community of Altadena, leaving thousands of people homeless. Ash and smoke from the Eaton Fire also continue to blanket much of Los Angeles, including Hollywood, even as the high winds that initially drove the fires calm.
The separate Palisade Fire also has claimed many homes and businesses on the west side of the LA area, including the destruction of many landmarks in Malibu.

I hope in this time of tragedy the people of California come together and reflect....wondering if their time and resources would have been better spent preparing to defend against fires then their president. As they look for help stay principled, stay strong, and do not accept the orange mans help, but look to all undocumented you're now going to be trying to take resources from and have them help you rebuild. It's the least they could do...
@uncreative: what exactly are you trying to say here?
You know exactly what I said. I wonder if the people of California think the 50 million they spent to trump proof their state to protect the undocumented could have been better spent on emergency preparedness. Probably not though. You'll curse the man and in the same breath hold out your hand and ask for help with no shame.
