Hour 1 (8.24) GKN Aerospace will pay up to $100 million to the 50,000 people who evacuated Garden Grove — and the Orange County DA won't file charges. Plus: Old Town Newhall's Main Street burns.
6:05 — The hottest stretch of the year so far: near 100 in downtown LA, 110-plus in the valleys, holding through the weekend. Peak grid demand runs 4 to 9 p.m., so pre-cool the house and hold the dryer and dishwasher until after. Also, 49ers owner Jed York's weekend arrest in Ohio.
6:20 — A third-alarm fire tore through Old Town Newhall before dawn, starting at an auto body shop on Main Street and taking the Newhall Refinery restaurant and The MAIN theatre with it. Over 100 firefighters and a partial roof collapse. Plus the human-caused Hawk Fire burning near Reno.
6:35 — San Jose State geologist Kim Blisniuk went back 10,000 years instead of 1,000 and found the San Andreas moving faster than the estimates assumed. Faster faults quake more often. What belongs in your kit, how much water, and who Conway blames for the run on it.
6:50 — GKN Aerospace will fund up to $100 million in claims — hotel stays, meals, lost wages, loss of use — for everyone evacuated in May, administered by an outside third party, with claims opening in the fall. The OC DA declined to file criminal charges. Meanwhile in Boyle Heights, the mayor has frozen Lineage Logistics' rebuild plans.
