‘Explosion on right, houses on fire on left’: How Los Angeles wildfires started; will it worsen overnight?

Live Mint  

Los Angeles wildfires: Thousands have fled and more have been evacuated as three ferocious wildfires continued to spread in Los Angeles, devouring multi-dollar homes, sheds, cars and everything that came in the way as hurricane-force winds fueled rapid blaze growth. According to the reports, the Los Angeles wildfires are not expected to be contained tonight and are in fact, likely to worsen with strong winds expected to gust at a speed of over 150 kmph. “An explosion on my right, houses on fire right up against the road on the left,” is how an eyewitness described the raging Los Angeles wildfires, while some said hot ashes rained down on them as the fires burned 2,921 acres of the Pacific Palisades area between the coastal towns of Santa Monica and Malibu. Before the Los Angeles wildfires started, the National Weather Service had issued its highest alert for extreme fire conditions for much of Los Angeles County, predicting wind gusts of 50 to 80 mph.
