Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serial Asleep. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. Today is headline highlights, which means we're going through all the breaking cases, all the news, everything happening in the true crime world. But really quickly, before I get into all of the cases that we're going to be talking about today, I just want to talk about the fires that are happening right now in California. Because one of the biggest and the most prominent headlines in the news right now are, of course, the wildfires. And these fires have caused so much destruction, so much heartbreak, really all across the LA area.
I personally live in California. Luckily, I am a little bit further south from where these fires have, you know, broken out and just taken so much. But i have friends who have lost their homes who have lost their family members homes tons of friends who have been evacuated and have had to flee and it's just it's really devastating and it's insane when you really think about the amount of destruction and i could be here all day long and going on a rant about the fact that we didn't have water in the hydrants the fact that certain people are evading questions and everything into it but I just feel like there's so much I could say but if you're one of my listeners who has been affected by these fires I just want you to know my heart is with you I am so sorry for everything that you're going through this has been incredibly devastating I know not just for people in California but
but really for everybody who is watching this as it's unfolding because they're still not fully contained yet. Yes, some of them have been, but not the major ones. So what I want to do today before I get into the headlines is kind of just give you like topside information about these fires. I'm not going to go into all of the nitty gritty, but I just want to like level set a little bit of what's been going on because social media, of course, always portrays something as one thing, right? And one of the biggest things I'm seeing right now is, you know, Who cares? It's the celebrities. It's millionaires. They can rebuild. And I just kind of want to remind people that that's not really true. I mean, the land is valued at one thing, but these homes and what those are valued at, that's a whole other thing. Not to mention, like, and again, this is like, you know...
not applicable to everybody but some of these homes aren't going to even have the opportunity to be built again because of the different permitting issues and zoning and all sorts of different like uh i can't even think the word i'm looking for different like requirements and problems but like that's a whole separate thing in and of itself it's the fact that so many people are displaced Some, yes, are fortunate enough to have family homes or maybe even a second home or afford a hotel, but so many are not. And I've been able to witness that, like being here and seeing the devastation. Now, like I said, let me talk to you just again very, very quickly and give you kind of a breakdown of what's happening right now, where things are at, and, you know, what's going on.
So the first fires we know broke out on Tuesday, January 7th in the Pacific Palisades. So far, it's estimated that over 23,000 acres have been burned in the Palisades alone, and it still, like I said, isn't contained. I think when I checked this morning, it was a little under 20%. Now, the Eaton Fire has also devastated the northern part of Los Angeles, and it has burned a little over 14,000 acres, making it the second biggest fire in the area. So each of these fires grew, and they spread at just such an alarming rate because of our Santa Ana winds, which we get every single year. We always know they're coming. We're prepared for them. Why we were not prepared for them, I don't know. But take a listen to just this quick little snip from some of the residents.
