Now it's time for the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell.

Good evening, Lawrence.

I always enjoy our handoffs, but I think they're especially important these days.

Checking in with all of our friends who are in the area.

And I know you especially have a lot of ties to the city of Los Angeles.

Yeah, I mean, here I am, Alex, in our New York studio with my house in Los Angeles 2,500 miles away.

And so it's still standing.

I mentioned that last night it could be lost.

It could be lost tonight.

Could be lost tomorrow night.

Saturday is the first time.

Apparently the wind is going to let us relax at all.

So the good news, bad news is I got reports for most of the last 24 hours. Fire trucks have been on my street. And I first

I thought, oh, great, they're on my street. My house is safe. But it means they need to be on my

street. That's the bad news. It's much better news that the fire trucks are far away from your street because that

means it isn't really threatening.

But that's the way it is for everyone in Los Angeles.

They are either deeply worried about their own house or everyone knows people who are now homeless.

I mean, just walking out here to the studio, it finally occurred to me because, you know,

we're just inundated with incoming and outgoing texts and calls.

And it just crossed my mind, oh, I don't want to say his name, but I have to check with my dentist

because I know he lives in Pacific Palisades. And so I didn't even ask, you know, is he okay?
