Firefighters are battling a fast-moving wildfire in the Los Angeles hills, as a 'life-threatening, destructive' windstorm exacerbates conditions, pushing the blaze across the region.
Forecasters indicate that the windstorm affecting Southern California may persist for several days, with isolated gusts potentially exceeding 100 mph, significantly increasing wildfire risks.
The Palisades fire has rapidly spread over 1,200 acres, fueled by Santa Ana winds, threatening homes in areas considered high-risk due to dry conditions.
Evacuations are underway in the region as residents face road congestion while attempting to escape the advancing flames and impacts of extreme weather.
