Ma questa volta anche la proprietà di MJ è in pericolo, richiesta evacuazione
A quanto pare un nuovo incendio sta devastando le vallate circondarie Neverland... Ma questa volta anche la proprietà di mj sembra in pericolo (a differenza dell'incendio di inizio luglio, che l'aveva solo avvicinata)
Infatti il forte vento ha spinto le autorità locali a chiedere l'evacuazione - volontaria per il momento - di migliaia di case, Neverland compresa.
MJ non è nella proprietà, ma parte dello staff, al momento non si sa se i presenti abbiano seguito il consiglio di evacuazione o no.

Residents of several hundred homes, including Michael Jackson‘s Neverland Ranch, were asked to evacuate as a wildfire in the mountains of Santa Barbara‘s wine country threatened to shift in the wind, a fire official said Tuesday.
The notice covered a swath of land where Jackson‘s ranch sits. The pop star has not been living at the ranch and it was unknown whether residents or staff members had heeded the voluntary evacuation.
"The problem is it‘s a wilderness fire. There‘s no access," said Mike Ferris, a spokesman for the National Incident Management Organization, which is overseeing firefighting efforts.
In Northern California, a wildfire near the Oregon border threatened more than 300 homes in and around Happy Camp. The fire in the Klamath National Forest started on July 10 and had burned more than 11 square miles by Tuesday, but authorities said improving weather conditions were aiding firefighters as a light drizzle started to fall.
In eastern Oregon, a rapidly growing wildfire 5 miles north of the ranching town of Monument grew to 36 square miles, threatening about 20 homes, said Jeree Mills, a spokeswoman for the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center. The blaze was sparked by lightning Friday.
"We‘ve got concerns this afternoon," said fire spokesman Steve Frady.
"Firefighters did a tremendous job in holding the fire from the residences," Frady said.
A lightning-caused blaze in north-central Washington‘s Okanogan County had grown to nearly 25 square miles Tuesday, destroyed one building and threatened about 50 homes. Residents of 10 of those homes were ordered to evacuate. The fire was about 10 percent contained.
