If you can believe it, the catastrophic Palisades fire that ignited on January 7 and destroyed huge swaths of the beautiful Pacific Palisades area, leaving 11 dead, is still burning. It has burned over 23,400 acres, and according to the excellent app Watch Duty, it’s 70 percent contained.
Meanwhile, the Eaton fire that torched Altadena and burned 14,021 acres, taking the lives of 17 people, is also still going, though it’s now listed at 95 percent contained.
Are we out of the woods yet? Unfortunately, no, as yet another huge fire started Wednesday and is currently raging around Castaic Lake to the Northwest of downtown Los Angeles. It grew extraordinarily quickly, and it is now at 9,457 acres with only five percent containment. The crucial Interstate 5 had to be closed in both directions for a period, but it’s currently open again.
As with the other fires, the scenes are absolutely apocalyptic:
A lot of homes in the path of the Hughes Fire.
