LeBron James Forced To Evacuate Home Due To Wildfires

LeBron James has just been reminded that celebrity will not protect you from natural disasters. He had to leave his residence as many other have in California.

TMZ is reporting that the Los Angeles Lakers starter had to bust a move when the wildfires got too close to his Brentwood, California home. The Cleveland native took to Twitter on Monday, October 28 to let his fans know things got too hot for him and his family. “Man these LA [fires] aren’t no joke. Had to emergency evacuate my house and I’ve been driving around with my family trying to get rooms. No luck so far!” he wrote.

An hour later he confirmed he and his crew were able to secure shelter shortly after evacuating.

He went on to publicly express his concerns for everyone else in that area and thank any staff helping families out in this time of need. “I [pray] for all the families in the area that could be affected by these [fires] now!” he wrote. “Pretty please get to safety ASAP”.

Not only have the ongoing flames created millions in damages and numerous power outages, but the air quality has been significantly degraded. According to analysts the high winds will only make the problems worse. Footage of the carnage below.

DJ Whoo Kid might need to start carrying a fire extinguisher in the booth with him during his sets if things carry on like this. The veteran New York DJ was playing a party in Las Vegas when one of his speakers burst into flames last weekend.

Page Six reports:

DJ Whoo Kid’s set at Liquid Pool Lounge at the Aria in Las Vegas was cut short Friday — after a speaker caught on fire.

“It was insane. There was a crazy bachelorette party that [came into the DJ booth and] kept turning up the volume,” a spy told Page Six. “It was like 108 [degrees], and the heat index was so high the speaker just busted. It caught on fire and all of a sudden, smoke was coming from everywhere. Needless to say, the day party was cut short.”

It appears that everyone made it out the party unharmed, thankfully.
