Meanwhile, further south, firefighters have managed to achieve upwards of 90% containment for the Rye, Lilac and Creek Fires:

Images of charred palm trees and the burnt-out husks of multi-million-dollar homes flooded social media for a fifth day Friday as the SoCal wildfires that exploded into life at the beginning of the week showed no signs of slowing.

On June 6, 2016 a group of Satanists will use GPS technology to construct a giant pentagram in Los Angeles in order to raise awareness for Satanism. 6-6-16 marks the date that the Satanic Temple in Los Angeles will construct the giant pentagram in Lancaster, northern Los Angeles county, in order to “raise awareness” for Satanism and Satanists alike. The “666” date was chosen because it closely resembles the Mark of the Best as featured in the Book of Revelation, which the Satanic Temple hope will give them more media attention.
