California has always been plagued by wildfires, and every year Southern California is subject to the dry Santa Ana winds. When the two combine you get hell on Earth, and that’s exactly what communities are experiencing around Los Angeles with the so-called Skirball Fire.
The video above was originally posted on Twitter early Wednesday, and it demonstrates that the devastation is widespread and not even close to contained.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the flames have reached the wealthy suburb of Bel Air as of early Wednesday. The typically clogged 405 Freeway was closed on the northbound side and residents are fleeing mansion homes.
Homes located on famous roads like Mulholland Drive and Sunset Boulevard are considered endangered.
