BREAKING NEWS Apocalypse in California Continues Several New Fires In San Diego County

What it's like inside LA's real-life apocalypse.

Los Angeles is no stranger to disaster, having weathered floods, earthquakes and riots.

But Tuesday brought one of most devastating days in the city's history.

The Pacific Palisades Fire started around 10:30 local time.

Stoked by ferocious winds, the fire quickly spread, soon engulfing more than 9,000 acres in that upscale community.

Soon the horizon was covered in thick black smoke. A thin patina of ash cloaked the cars in my neighborhood some 20 miles (32km) away.

That fire continues to burn out of control. And it was soon joined by three other fires – none of which have been stopped.

LAPD chief Jim McDonnell described this as "a tragic time in our history" and said the winds Tuesday night were like "something I've never seen before".

Harrowing television footage showed flames engulfing some of the multimillion-dollar oceanside mansions in Pacific Palisades.

One resident who escaped likened the situation to a scene from a disaster movie.

The word "apocalyptic" - so often misused - is in my view entirely applicable.

Fires are burning out of control all around us, smoke covers the sky in all directions, and the emergency services are stretched to their very limit – running out of water and straining to respond to thousands of 911 calls.

Perhaps the most pitiful image was of elderly residents being evacuated from a convalescent home in the city of Altadena, where the Eaton fire currently spans more than 2,000 acres.

Frail and confused, they were rushed in wheelchairs to safety amid a flurry of burning embers in the depths of night.

Seasonal wildfires are nothing new here. But never in the 25 years that I have lived here in LA have I witnessed a situation so widespread, and so unpredictable.

Two lives have been lost, at least 1,000 buildings have been destroyed - along with many livelihoods - and the forecast suggests the worst is yet to come.

A city of 4 million people is now at the mercy of the weather.

It is - as one fire chief put it - a "widespread disaster", and a tragic day in the history of America's second largest city.

California wildfire apocalypse: No water for firefighters in Los Angeles? Crying, screaming residents flee in chaos

Los Angeles is in flames—literally and figuratively—as wildfires consume entire neighborhoods, leaving firefighters without the water they need to fight back.

Southern California is under siege. Los Angeles is in flames—literally and figuratively—as wildfires consume entire neighborhoods, leaving firefighters without the water they need to fight back. Across Pacific Palisades and beyond, hydrants have run dry, and desperation is setting in.

Winds roaring at nearly 100 mph have unleashed ferocious wildfires, tearing through neighborhoods, reducing homes and businesses to rubble, and engulfing cities in choking smoke. The night sky turned blood red as storms of embers rained down, spreading destruction with terrifying speed. "This a devastating—a catastrophic loss for all of Los Angeles,” warned Traci Park, a Los Angeles City Council member, as flames ripped through Pacific Palisades, a neighborhood once known for its affluence but now the epicenter of chaos.Officials brace for more devastation, as winds threaten to escalate the fire’s deadly march. "The worst is still ahead," they warn, as firefighters battle an enemy fueled by nature’s fury. Firefighters run out of water amid devastating wildfires "The hydrants are down,” crackled one firefighter’s voice over the radio, captured by the Los Angeles Times. Another could be heard reporting, “Water supply just dropped.”

Fire trucks were stuck behind lines of abandoned cars, forcing desperate measures. Actor Steve Guttenberg, best known for Police Academy, unexpectedly stepped in to help. “If you leave your car, leave the key in it so guys like me can move it,” he urged on KTLA as he personally cleared vehicles to make way for emergency crews. Another blaze erupts in Altadena, senior community evacuated AS the Pacific Palisades fire raged, a second inferno—the Eaton Fire—ignited in Altadena, torching over 400 acres by Tuesday night.Residents of a senior community were hastily evacuated, some wheeled out in gurneys and wheelchairs, as flames closed in. Tens of thousands more in the area were ordered to leave their homes. Perfect storm: Winds, flames, and power outages The National Weather Service issued its direst warning yet, calling the situation a “Particularly Dangerous Situation.” Winds of up to 100 mph are expected to fan the flames, turning the already devastating fires into an uncontrollable beast.
