Powerful Winds Fuel Multiple Fires Across Los Angeles Area

ALTADENA, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 19: Sisters Emilee and Natalee De Santiago sit together on the front porch of what remains of their home on January 19, 2025 in Altadena, California. "It just feels weird that everything's gone-I mean we were here that night and the borderline was on Lake, so we were still here but I guess most of our neighbors had evacuated. We didn't leave until 5:00 am... We barely had anything packed. We packed stuff thinking we were only going to leave for the smoke that night... We grew up here our whole lives. This is all we've known," said Emilee. Multiple wildfires which were fueled by intense Santa Ana Winds have burned across Los Angeles County leaving at least 27 dead with over 180,000 people having been under evacuation orders. Over 12,000 structures, many of them homes and businesses, burned in the Palisades and Eaton Fires. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)
