Usage is up 6.8% but cost is up 134%?! Not sure if I’m just late to the party, but it’s insanity that a monopolistic company is allowed to do this for an essential service.

Edit: realized I had a $56 credit climate last year being reflected in the Oct 2025 bill. This would translate to an increase of 23%, which is still insanity IMO.

Video from a friend. I’ve already evacuated, hope everyone and their houses make it unscathed🙏🙏

Small rant incoming because I am just annoyed. This was my first time coming, and while I have seen complaints about this event in the past, this one totally is a different level. I commuted all the way to Costa Mesa only to find out it is cancelled.

​Sure, I could have checked their Instagram before I left, but is it really hard to send an email to people who bought their tickets online instead of dropping a last minute post of them cancelling the event early Friday morning through their Instagram? Super unprofessional.

​Reason why I bought a Friday ticket months ago was cause it was a bit cheaper and so I can avoid the weekend crowd. What a waste of time. Now the Friday crowd is gonna be funneled into the weekend crowd like a zoo.

​Anyone else here got a Friday pass and is disappointed? This incident making me not want to go to their events again.

Some throwback photos from these beautiful hills. I’ve spent a lot of time running and biking here over the years. Really sad to see what’s happening. Hoping everyone affected stays safe.

My family is in the evacuation zone for the Norte fire (I'm in San Francisco) and I watched the firefighters work their absolute ASSES off on the news to stop the fire and I think they're doing an incredible job.

While I knew firefighters are incredible people, you don't quite gain the same appreciation until they directly save your entire family's livelihood.

My mom is going to be baking many many cookies for them in the next few days! If you're a firefighter: THANK YOU!!!

**EDIT** WE FOUND HIM!!! Thanks again everyone for commenting!

OC friends, please keep an eye out for Osso!

This sweet boy went missing yesterday, and we’re hoping to help get him home safely. If you live in the area, please keep an eye out for him and share this post to help spread the word. Every share makes a difference! 🙏❤️

📞 If you see him or have any information, please call or text the number of the flyer. You can also dm me.

Let’s help bring Osso home! 🏡🐶❤️

Pretty much what the title says. Go Vote. Don't forget the lesser items on the ballot that should have larger spotlights on.

Also, you do NOT need to place a vote for every item on the ballot.

Apologies for the poor quality, taking photos out of an airplane window isn’t the best medium to work with. I landed at about 12:15pm today so less than an hour after it started.

Has anyone gone to the pumpkin patch at Irvine Park Railroad on Halloween day in years past? For some reason it doesn’t require reservations on that day alone, so I can’t tell if it’s going to be overrun with crowds or people don’t go as much because they’ve got other plans on Halloween.

Looks like we may be evacuating soon… prayers for anyone closer to the fire

For those that don’t follow baseball, Jake Bauers was named MVP of the National League Championship Series last night following the Brewers’ sweep of the Dodgers. He was a menace to the Dodgers. He’s from Huntington Beach, attended and played at Marina HS. His parents still live in HB. He’s had a rough few seasons but is totally rocking it this year!

Throwing a baby shower and reached out to a community center to rent one of the rooms. Got a good deal but the date and room are not guaranteed yet until the team reaches back to me. Anyone have any recommendations?

This does not look good.
