Things Rarely Explained on LA News

Nearly every time I watch TV news in Los Angeles, I hear one of these. But without the Internets, a Newbie like me would have to guess what they were all about.


Scratch that. Not even the Internets can explain Jillian Barberie.

P.S. - She's not Jillian in the photo. She's an actual KCAL reporter (inspired by Dirty Laundry?) unlisted on her station's bio page.

  1. Hi Atwater Village Newbie!

    FYI, the reference you have linked to for 'Red Flag Fire Weather' is providing inaccurate information.

    A better point of official reference is here.

    Please keep up the great work on the blog!

    Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

  3. Sigalert: It's named after an old time radio executive. See Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/autos/hazards/sigalert.asp

    In case you were wondering...

  4. DOWN WITH JILLIAN BARBIERE

    I WILL VOTE FOR ANY POLITICAL CANDIDATE THAT SUPPORTS HER EXILE NOT JUST FROM OUR STATE

    But from our country.

  5. Might be a good bandwagon for Pat Buchanan to join. He seems to be all about random removals of people from the country. - AVN

  6. Seriously, I do not need to see the low-rent Barbie tell me the news in the morning while she lamely banters with the other low-rent Barbie and some sort of automaton from the planet Fake-oh. It's truly embarrassing to know that morning show is so popular.
