It's just a lot to deal with. Angelenos are used to some level of disruption for wildfires, but there's never been anything like this before.

Good morning, Steve. What have you been seeing? Because these winds are so strong and blowing straight out to the ocean, you can actually see the fire pretty well if you're looking at it from L.A. And what you could see was just this orange zigzag running straight up the mountain like a lightning bolt. And every time the wind had a big gust, which was like all the time.

You could see the fire flare super high into the sky. And, you know, airplanes were dumping fire retardant to try and stop it. But that fire ended up moving a little bit further south towards the populated city of Santa Monica. Parts of Santa Monica are now under evacuation orders. Also, Malibu is under evacuation.

Steve, you might remember that city just burned in a different fire almost exactly one month ago. Well, now they're getting it again.

Yeah, I mean, that's what it feels like on the ground, too. We went into the evening last night with only one major fire, the Palisades Fire I mentioned, started Tuesday morning in the mountains and very quickly made a run all the way to the ocean. You know, unfortunately, the community of Pacific Palisades with over 10,000 households was in the way.

And then just all day yesterday, there were these little fires popping up and getting put down by firefighters. But then into the evening, the winds really picked up and a fire in Eaton Canyon flared and That very, very quickly became a problem for the communities of Altadena and Pasadena just below it.
