Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. It is unbelievable what is happening in California right now. An American jewel of a city is in ashes. The Palisades area of Los Angeles is burning. House after house after house of one of our most precious areas is on fire. And residents have been under a mandatory evacuation order, including, I mean, folks who are my dear friends. One of my best friends is out there. Her house is gone. Brian Friedman, who was on the show yesterday, evacuated. Like, they're all... These are our fellow Americans who have been forced out of their homes because these predictable Santa Ana winds came and the local officials apparently would not do what was necessary to be done to protect the residents from the foreseeable risk of fire. There are three massive wildfires burning right now, being flamed by Santa Ana winds topping 60 miles an hour.
It is so windy that firefighting aircraft are not able to fly in many cases. Nearly 100,000 people are under these mandatory evacuation orders. At least 13,000 structures are under threat. The video is absolutely horrifying. Take a look at this tape here as a fire swarmed a home in Los Angeles. For the listening audience, it is right outside this guy's patio. I mean, he's inside his living room, and the flames are right on the other side of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors. You gonna be okay? You gonna be okay, all right? There's your dog. You're gonna be okay.
Oh, shit. Don't worry about that, dude. Look at that. Holy shit.
The plastic is gone, dude.
The plastic is the least of their concerns at this moment. Okay, that gives you the flavor, but it is an incredibly dangerous thing to have been in that home at that moment. The, um, the person who shared the clip is it goes by Kevin Dalton. That's his name on, on X. He, uh, that clip has already been seen more than 2 million times by early Wednesday. It was also used by the daily mail as their lead this morning. Kevin said in an update, I am told the dog and both of his humans were able to safely evacuate the property. That's as much as we know there. Let's hope Kevin is correct. When you see the video, for the listening audience, you don't even know where these two folks who are talking inside and that dog are going to run.
The house seems to be engulfed. One side seems a little less engulfed than the other, but it makes you wonder how on earth this happened. But the winds take the fire so quickly from home to home, it can happen in an instant, which is why the cities issue these mandatory evacuation orders. The wildfires began so quickly that many, many people were caught off guard. And when the roadways became impassable, people just abandoned their cars to flee on foot. Look at this tape here. You see a bulldozer bulldozing the vehicles that were just left in the road out of the way so that emergency vehicles and others can get through. One woman who abandoned her car told News Nation that police came up to her and said, get out of your car, run for your life, and head toward the ocean. You can believe it. Going back to that first video we showed, and if you're just listening, go check us out on youtube.com later. You'll see it right at the top of the show.
You wonder, all I could think was just at least open the doors and let the dog run for his life because a dog would know what to do. His instincts would take him away from the fire and he could probably outrun some extent of it. Run toward the ocean seems like a good idea. Fox's Charles Payne tweeted out this photo and wrote, I'm descending into LAX right now and I can smell the fire. Many on this flight in panic or heartbroken, knowing their homes are already gone. And listening audience, what you see here is an aerial of Los Angeles up against the water. And the top third of the photo is in flames. the top third. If you've been to LA, and I know we all rip on California for all sorts of good reasons, but we actually love our brothers and sisters in California and absolutely don't want to see this kind of danger or carnage unleashed on them.
