Southern California Engulfed In Flames As Multiple Catastrophic Wildfires Destroy Thousands Of Homes
It’s early, but this is looking like the worst natural disaster to hit California since the Northridge earthquake in 1994, and in terms of overall property damage, it could match the 2018 Camp Fire, the state’s most destructive wildfire of all time. Live feed above via Fox11 covering the three (as of now) wildfires tearing through Pacific Palisades, Sylmar, and Pasadena. More live updates here if/when that live feed comes down.
Some of the most devastating videos I’ve seen on social media:

LAFD is using a BULLDOZER to clear abandoned cars off Palisades Drive. Unreal. #PalisadesFire pic.twitter.com/sM93Zud3q9
