In today’s Quickcast:

Fires across the Los Angeles area, including one that broke out in Hollywood Hills, scorched more than 45 square miles and put roughly 179,000 people under evacuation orders, according to officials.

At least five people are dead. More than 1,300 structures have already burned and over 60,000 structures were threatened Thursday as strong winds fanned blazes in densely populated parts of Southern California, officials said.

The two largest blazes – the Palisades and Eaton fires – weren't contained at all as of late Thursday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire. Residents described sweeping devastation, harrowing escapes and losing their homes, while photos showed stunning scenes of destruction.

The Palisades Fire in Los Angeles has grown to cover nearly 27 square miles and destroyed hundreds of structures, according to Cal Fire.
The Eaton Fire, in the hills above Altadena in northern Los Angeles County, has killed five people, burned more than 16 square miles and destroyed almost 1,000 structures.
The Sunset Fire, which erupted Wednesday in Hollywood Hills, prompted a new round of mandatory evacuations and threatened iconic landmarks. By 7:30 a.m. local time Thursday, all evacuation orders for the fire were lifted and the blaze had been fully contained, according to officials.
The Hurst and Lidia fires scorched at least 855 acres and 348 acres, respectively. The Hurst Fire was 10% contained and the Lidia Fire was 40% contained as of Thursday morning.

This is a rare moment where wildfires are actually within a city. Most are usually on the mountains and isolated there. That’s why this is more dangerous. Everyone can see it from their very own eyes. Literally neighborhoods getting burned down like the end of the world.

You have to feel bad for those that lost their homes and it’s a lot of homes. 🙏

As much as I disdain Snobs, Wealthy Communities and HOAs, My Heart does go out to those left with nothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if some studio isn't filming all this for some future movie.

When I was in elementary school in the Midwest I remember them teaching us about these winds, but back then they called them the "witch winds."

There is nothing to say. I haven’t the words. My brain simply cannot function because of the level of destruction…..

A prayer….

May God have mercy on those who have lost loved ones and everything on the earth they own. Please God, I’m a simple man, reach down and protect everyone from this inferno called Hell. Your people need you more now than ever before. In Gods name we pray……

🙏
