Los Angeles is bracing for hurricane-force winds as wildfires continue to devastate the region, claiming at least 24 lives and destroying hundreds of homes. Four of the six wildfires have burned over 160 square kilometers, larger than San Francisco, with the Palisades and Eaton fires being among the most destructive in California's history. Authorities warn that winds gusting up to 70 mph could intensify fire behavior and cause new blazes. Over 92,000 residents are under evacuation orders, while thousands of first responders battle the flames. Governor Gavin Newsom has requested $2.5 billion for recovery efforts.
