Massive wildfires roaring through the Los Angeles area have left neighborhoods in ruins, killed at least five people and threatened famous landmarks. Desperate residents escaped Wednesday through flames that spread out of control with help from hurricane-force winds. Three major blazes that erupted just a day earlier grew substantially while winds scattered embers far and wide. The fires blanketed the city with a thick cloud of smoke and ash and destroyed homes across the metropolitan area, from the Pacific Coast inland to Pasadena. One of the fires was the most destructive in the modern history of the city of LA.
