YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe most destructive wind storm to strike the Los Angeles area in 14 years is fanning wildfires and has sent thousands of residents fleeing for their lives, with dangerous gusts expected to persist for at least another two days.
Hurricane-force winds of as much as 86 miles (138 kilometers) per hour have torn through the region, pushing flames through high-priced neighborhoods and hampering efforts of the more than 1,400 firefighters who have flocked to blazes that are currently burning out of control.
The largest blaze — known as the Palisades Fire — roared across almost 3,000 acres (1,214 hectares) just west of Santa Monica early Wednesday, while separate fires exploded in size overnight. A fire in Eaton Canyon, near Altadena, has expanded to about 2,227 acres, while another grows northwest of LA. Far to the south, another blaze sparked in the desert near Coachella and the Salton Sea. All are uncontained.
