Los Angeles wildfires have killed 11 people and destroyed 10,000 homes since Tuesday. Sheriff Robert Luna likened the devastation to an "atomic bomb." Despite efforts, fires continue to threaten upscale neighborhoods, including Hollywood Hills. Strong winds and red-flag conditions complicate firefighting efforts. Over 1 lakh homes are without power, and schools remain shut due to hazardous air. President Biden has declared the disaster a major emergency, promising 100% federal support for 180 days. Relief efforts include donations, with actor Jamie Lee Curtis pledging $1 million. Authorities have detained one man for possible arson and arrested 20 for looting.
