>> look at this. look at this. everything is on fire. >> five, six, eight, ten houses in our neighborhood just gone like that. >> but the scale of the impact today is largeer than anything i have seen in my career. >> holy [ bleep ]. i've never seen anything like this in my life. oh, my gosh! [ horn honking ] >> everybody trying to get out. >> i've been through wars, i don't know what to say. i'm speechless. i'm shocked. >> damn. damn! that's a house! >> john: the wild fires still raging across southern california and we are getting a clearer look at the sheer

devastation in and around los angeles. look at this aerial shot of pacific palisades, one of the hardest hit areas where literally every house in the neighborhood is gone. the california national guard is on standby as los angeles county battles the most destructive wildfire outbreak it has ever seen. hell on earth is the only way to describe it. i'm john roberts in washington. sandra, what a scene of devastation. >> sandra: our hearts break for all those affected by this and to see those images and the density of the population and house after house just gone, john. and so many who haven't even had the ability to go check on their homes. i'm sandra smith in new york. this is "america reports." here's the very latest that we have from los angeles officials on the palisades and eaton fires, the two biggest. more than 27,000 acres have burned and both fires, according to the latest update, are still at 0% containment at this hour.

and more than 2,000 buildings have been destroyed. >> john: our jonathan hunt is live in pacific palisades. as we see, the entire neighborhoods have just been reduced to ash. >> sandra: jonathan, what exactly are you seeing out there right now? >> reporter: well, sandra and john, we're seeing a very different day to yesterday. yesterday was a day of terror. it was a day of fighting. it was a day of struggling simply to survive for many people. today is more a day of reckoning and a day of recognition of exactly what this fire did and as you take a look at this one home in the heart of the pacific palisades, that is the end result for hundreds and hundreds of homes. our crew brian alman, and i, have personally seen hundreds of homes destroyed in exactly this fashion. another one here on the same street.

there was one house that still appears to be standing. you can see on the corner there, white picket fence, the big property that was behind it. completely gone. and across the street again, through the gates behind this high hedge, another property that is completely and utterly destroyed. it really is great breathtaking when you look at this and you look at entire neighborhoods that have gone. i think when people say it's like a war zone, it's a terrible comparison. there is nothing like a war zone other than a war zone, having been to few of those. when you look at the pictures and the ariel pictures that i know you've seen so of some of the neighborhoods here, it does remind me of some of those pictures from world war ii and english cities during the blitz, completely and utterly flattened. just like this building right in front of us now. and the human toll of this is so

significant and obviously officials, pundits, politicians, are going to talk about the water supply. they're going to talk about whether enough resources were put towards this and those are important questions, and i think a lot of residents will want to follow up on those in the weeks to come, but right now, thousands of people here in the pacific palisades who were living here in the pacific palisades now are reckoning not with how this happened, why this happened. they are reckoning with what can they save from their lives? our dear colleague kennedy has a home near her. we asked if we could check on it. we haven't checked today. at that point it was standing. kennedy asked me, like so many families, asking the same questions: can you get in there? can you -- she asked me to save two hand drawn pictures by her kids. pictures of her with her kids. i know she shared all of this on air already. she won't mind me saying it.

i think that speaks volumes about kennedy, herself, but about every single family that has gone through this horror. that is what they care about the most right now. just what memories they can save from the years, decades that they have lived in houses like these. they have brought up their children. there are a lot we have wealthy people in the palisades. there are a lot of ordinary middle class americans as well and they now have to pick up the pieces quite literally and work out how they continue with their lives. of all the fires i have ever covered in southern california and in northern california for that matter, i have never seen anything like this, because this, after all, is not out in the wild somewhere. this is in densely packed urban area and now we see the damage that it can do and just -- you look up at the hills up there, john and sandra, that's around where it start in the lower reaches of those hills and i can tell you, knowing this neighborhood very, very well,

two of my kids, one of them still goes to school here, one went to school here, the people on these streets, i can tell you, would have been thinking oh, it's up in the brush up there. it's never going to be able to get down here. they never would let it get down here. it can't move that fast. and then within hours, this. so a terrifying 24 hours -- 48 hours almost that these people went through. it's much better today. the winds have calmed coudown almost completely. the aircraft are back up in the air. that's what makes a difference, having aircraft, fixed wing and helicopter. they've got a handle on it now in terms of stopping the blazes that were popping up everywhere we were yesterday, but there is so much now to do to try to recover and this is going to rank in terms of the amount of destruction, i think, as one of the biggest natural disasters, not in l.a.'s history, which has already been acknowledged by the fire chief, but i think in the

history of the state of california. it is nothing short, john and sandra, of breathtaking. >> sandra: we can't even imagine what you're going through, jonathan. obviously -- >> reporter: i think, guys, if you're still talking to me, i have lost my connection with you. i hope you got a sense of what we're going through here or what the people are going through here. but i can't hear you if you guys are talking to me. i'll send it back to you guys. >> sandra: thank you very much. and john, as you well know, jonathan is among our many colleagues that are directly affected by this. he was mentioning kennedy with the home directly in that area and our hearts break for everyone there that is going through this and as bad as that scene is, we can only imagine what it's like to see it first hand. >> john: super compelling reporting on his part and everybody else's involved. let's bring in the section chief of the los angeles county fire department. chief, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. so, as we saw, the scenes of

devastation there, the fire's burned it sself out. still zero percent contained. what can l.a. county and l.a. city fire do to begin to get this under control and stop it? >> currently we are getting the resources not just throughout the state, we're getting resources from our adjoining states. currently it's just palisades fire alone, we're at 17,234 acres. we have over 2300 firefighters on scene actively battling this significantly fast wind-driven fire. my firefighters are telling me on that night, tuesday night, they're dealing with winds in excess of 99 miles per hour. so if i can urge anything to all your viewers, when our firefighters or law enforcement

issue an evacuation order, you need to go under a warning. an order, we need you to please leave. we get challenged when people don't leave. >> john: we seem to have lost chief haskin. i believe he's out in the field. let's go to these daytime pictures, these ariel shots of pacific palisades. when you look at the extend extent of the destruction, it's just incredible. i remember in october of 1993, in laguna beach, there was a neighborhood called mystic hills, which was basically a hill and had roads encircling it and every home except one burned down in that area. mostly because there was -- all the homes were built on literally hanging over the hillside. and the brush had grown up underneath those houses and literally just acted as fuel. and ignited the entire neighborhood. chief, i think we got you back now. as we look at these aerials,

pacific palisades, i have never seen anything of this extent. you know, we saw what happened in lahaina, in maui, but this is well beyond that. >> it's devastating. we are -- our number one priority is to make sure people get out safely. >> john: wow. so let me ask you this because this came up in the press conference with the l.a. county supervisor, catherine barger, and as well as mayor karen bass. is there appeared to be a lack of water at the higher elevations for your fire crews to be able to fight the fire. do you know how that happened and how did that hamstring your efforts to keep the fire from destroying so many homes? >> you see the devastation when the devastation goes through that rapidly and that quickly, it taxes the infrastructure. the power goes out. the hydrants started losing

pressure because the generators start kicking on and there's a delay. but i do know our firefighters are trained to pivot to be able to find additional water sources. we have water tenders on site to start filling our engine companies, but initially, it was challenging. you see the devastation. we were in survival mode. our number one priority is to make sure people get out safely. >> john: right. and the fact that there was no loss of life in pacific palisades, i think, it testament to the fact that people it listen and got out. there was some loss of life, people five at last counted, in the eaton fire. there's also talk -- i know this is the city and not the county, there was a $17 million budget cut to the fire department. from your experience, how would that hamper the department's ability to respond to a disaster of this magnitude?

>> for calls of service, our firefighters will immediateryly. we went in there with all our mutual aid partners and rescued every life and 9-1-1 call that we could. so i'm not going to speak specifically to budget cuts but we know that our firefighters were actively there. everybody was in the service and they showed up and they resp responded. >> john: if there were things that you don't have that you need at the moment, what would they be? >> we need people to please adhere to our evacuation warnings, so under warning, you need to be ready to go. you need to have your go backpack and glasses, medications, all your stuff ready to go, your car outside and in case the power failure goes out, you can get to your car. an order, we need people to please leave.

we're not out of the woods yet. we're supposed to get winds in excess of 60 miles an hour this afternoon on the ridge tops. so if we do issue additional evacuation orders, please leave. >> john: chief, we wish you godspeed. you have the support of an entire nation here. we thank you for taking the time to be with us. we really appreciate it. thank you. sandra, it's amazing the extent of the devastation, the fact that this fire still zero percent contained. it continues to burn. obviously not in these areas because there's nothing left to burn. some houses spared. through miracles or maybe it's just, you know, the basic construction, stucco potentially doesn't burn as quickly as wood. does. and tile roofs tend to protect more than even an ash facility roof would. -- asphalt roof. look at these neighborhoods and everything is gone. >> sandra: nothing was stared. when you see the images on the screen right now and also these, the wildfire destroying some

iconic hollywood spots. we've got these before and after images showing the absolute complete devastation of some of these notable places, the top a a ngo ranch, motteelo offered an inexpensive escape for writers. the rogers ranch where hollywood golden age actors lived overho overlooking the pacific ocean. just the fireplace is satanding. the palisades charter high school, used for "carrie" and "freaky friday" engulfed in flames and suffering significant damage. fortunately, no students were harmed as they are currently on winter break. for anybody who was in session, we know they have canceled chas and is those students have stayed home.

>> john: right. but again, when you take a look at those aerial views that he have we have, it's incredible to see entire neighborhoods, not just a street or a block, but entire neighborhoods have been wiped out. this, i believe, is the palisades which will be kind of southeast of sunset and then there's the part of palisades that goes on up into the hills there and just you see the swimming pools there in the backyards. cars in the street. and you see chimneys but nothing else left of the house. >> sandra: according to the update we got from officials, in the last ninety minutes or so, they are still in search and rescue mode because they have to assume there were some people who decided to ride this out and not heed the evacuation warnings. so you heard it from the fire chief and other officials who weren't even comfortable committing to a death toll, which we had been reporting was five from these fires.

there's just nothing spared. they have to go through. they said they're going to be bringing out dogs and other search and rescue operations to try to find anybody who may have stayed behind. >> john: given the extent of the damage, it's going to take a long time to go through those houses because you can imagine, you have a two-level home, everything that was in that home collapses down into about a foot, a foot and a half of debris on the bottom of the home and everything is incinerated to the point where magnesium wheels were melting off of cars in fires that i've seen in the past. everything is just reduced to ash. so finding the remains of anybody who might have been unfortunate enough to not be able to get out is going to be a long and painstaking job. president-elect trump awaiting response from the supreme court on the state of his new york sentencing.

andy mccarthy coming up on how he sees this all playing out. plus this. >> this house behind me is gone right now. covered in ash. >> sandra: this is incredibly compelling video that we're about to show you. it's a firsthand look at the devastation and the drama unfolding there in southern california. that man in that video is about to join us. he rushed in to try and save his childhood home. he has video of it. and also what he was able to do about his parents. we are going to have him after the break. stay tuned.

that has left many people suffering from the devastation with no coverage and potentially no way to rebuild. fox correspondent jerry willis is with us now. how widespread is this problem, jerry? >> reporter: it's tens of thousands of people and possibly even more in the long run, john. the tragedy of the california wildfires setting in motion an insurance crisis after major insurers left the market last year. california's largest insurer, state farm, canceled 72,000 policies last february, 30,000 of which were homeowner policies. and now the state's insurer of last resort, called the fair plan, will likely be overwhelmed by billions in claims it had been receiving over the coming days and weeks. the 90272 zip codes of pacific palisades experienced 1913 policy cancellations between 2019 and 2024. that's about 28 out of every 100 policies.

that according to the san francisco chronicle. now, this is leaving many californians without homeowner insurance. listen. >> this is going to create a ripple effect of devastation that goes far beyond the loss of life and buildings and residences because this ripple is going to keep impacting both the people who think that they have insurance and they're actually underinsured which is going to be one of the biggest problems that we see, as well as the skyrocketing insurance premiums. >> reporter: as a result, homeowners have turned to the state's fair program. that's an insurance pool. the pacific palisades is the fifth largest user of fair policies in the state with nearly $6 billion in exposure. but the fair program has only 700 million on hand to pay claims in cash. insiders have known about challenges to the state pool for years. one calling the fair program "a ticking time bomb." now, some context from realtor.com which is owned by our parent company, just 5.5% of

homes in the u.s. face the risk of wildfire damage, but 39.1% of them are in california, l.a., the riskiest city. >> john: jerry willis for us on that. we'll see if there's relief coming from fema. thank you. now this. >> [ bleep ] it's going right now. we got to get out of here. [ bleep ]. it's so hot right now. >> no! get out! [ indiscernible ] >> sandra: just a terrifying firsthand look at the destruction caused by these wildfires. from a man who raced home to evacuate his parents from his childhood home. while the fires devastated the entire neighborhood. jerry ashby joins us now. jerry, our thoughts with you and how much up been through and your family and thank you very much for joining us. tell us a little bit about what was happening in that sxrid how you came to realize that your

childhood home was about to go up in flames. >> it happened so quick. i was actually in my office in santa monica around 2 p.m. and i saw flames coming from the highlands area. i didn't initially think it was going to reach that far down into the palisades, and i just kind of kept watching, kept calling my parents to make sure they were all right. about an hour went by and it looked too crazy so i made my way up there and went to the house and started spraying down the house and the vegetation. >> sandra: i think we have some more video of that. and eventually you putting out the flames. listen. >> [ bleep ] it's going right now. we got to get out of here. [ bleep ]. it's so hot right now. get out! we got to get out!

on the roof still. it's [ bleep ] going. this house behind me is going right now. >> sandra: obviously i said putting out the flames. attempting to put out the flames because we know how that ended up. you tried your best, obviously, and almost did you think you were waiting too long to evacuate? >> the fire came in so quick. i saw it come up the ridge behind my house where i was filming. that was within twenty minutes. there's probably five or six houses in a row and it just kept crawling and before i knew, it it just was right next door and it was burning the trees and just blowing ash everywhere and embers and it just -- i knew and i set boundaries when i was supposed to leave, and we got out of there and it was a complete ghost town. and it's just a shame because, i

don't know, it's horrible. i'm just glad to be out. >> sandra: we're glad you made it out and that you were there to help your parents as well, thank god. when you got in the car to drive around, i believe we have some video of that as well. >> we're on lower... >> sandra: just absolute devastation. your neighborhood. what does the future hold for you and your family, gerry? >> luckily we've had so much support from all of our friends that are outside the palisades community and long-term we're still figuring that out. it's insane to see these videos

again because when i left the house it was not nearly bound, hartsville into the streets and, you know, all these videos i'm showing and it's my friends east houses and where we grew up and have so many memories and it's devastating to see it completely quon. gone. we're still figuring out what the future holds and i know that as a community, the palisades are so strong. and we've been all communicating together and we're all going through this together and, you know, we will rebuild it back to its former glory for sure. >> sandra: i'm sure i speak for many of our viewers and listeners right now, we're incredibly moved by your story. and our best to you and your family. you've been through a lot and you have each other and in times like this, we always have to remind ourselves of that. we will stay in touch and our best to you. >> thank you so much, sandra. >> sandra: all right. john? >> john: sandra, we are awaiting the supreme court's response to president-elect trump's request to stop his new york sentencing tomorrow.

how will the court decide? andy mccarthy on that coming up next. plus this... >> the air is not healthy for people who are challenged from a respiratory standpoint. so if you don't have to come into an area that's so impacted, please don't. >> sandra: really important reminder that the air can be and is so toxic after all this. the los angeles officials there sounding the alarm of the dangers of the wildfire smoke, the risks and how people can stay safe. we'll have more from that just ahead.

>> john: it is just behind the building behind me and we are awaiting a decision from the supreme court on whether it will step in and stop president-elect trump's sentencing in new york criminal court, which is scheduled for tomorrow. the state of new york's highest court has already refused to step in. let's bring in andy mccarthy, fox news contributor and former assistant u.s. attorney. we're watching to see what the supreme court might do in the next little while here, andy.

the new york court of appeals, as it's known, the highest court in the state, they don't call it the supreme court, said, nope, we're not going touch this. sentencing's going to go ahead tomorrow. trump continues to strike out in state court. how do you think he'll do at the supreme court? >> reporter: well, i think he's in the best court that he could be in, john. now, he's got a lot of uphill here procedurally because to take a case directly to the supreme is court is, you know, highly unusual and highly unlikely. at the same time, really, only the supreme court to say its ruling in july which is based on this idea that we don't want president distracted and stigmatized in the performance of their duties by criminal proceedings, only the supreme court can really extend that. that's the thing that trump wants.

i think he has a shot to prevail there in a way he probably never had a shot in the state. >> john: the supreme court did literally write the book on presidential i'm immunity. this court should before enter an immediate stay to prevent grave injustice and harm to the institution of the presidency and the operations of the federal government. but here's what the supreme court wrote in that immunity decision: they wrote that presidents have absolute immunity for acts committed a ed as president and presumptive immunity and no immunity for unofficial acts. so where to do the payments to stormy daniels and the repayment of michael cohen fall in that parameter? >> i think we're talking about two different aspects of immunity, john.

with respect to one aspect of it, it is what should a president -- regardless of whether his actions are private or public, should a president be forced in a position to face criminal proceedings while he's a sitting president and should that be extended to president-elect? that's the thing had a has to be decided immediately. they're not supposed to be able to use official acts of the president as evidence to prove misconduct that's essentially private. and that's really what happened in this case. i think gratuitously put in

evidence, including two witnesses who were on trump's white house staff, about evidence about trump's activities while he was in the white house which is exactly the stuff the supreme court said prosecutors shouldn't do. so that's a separate question. but i think if trump is going to prevail, it's going to be because he persuades the supreme court that the same concerns about the gravity of the president -- the sitting president's responsibilities should also apply to the transition. >> john: right. so jack smith quickly dropped the cases against president trump after the immunity decision from the supreme court came down. judge merchan seems to be hanging onto this like a dog on a bone. and the new york post had a literary metaphor for judge merchan in this editorial saying, "trump derangement syndrome has left merchan a modern captain ahab, dooming himself with an obsessive pursuit of his target long past all reason. he's going to go under tangled in his own harpoon."

so for merchan, is trump the political equivalent of the great white whale? >> yeah, i think he is. i kind of appreciate that because when bragg reopened this investigation after closing it, i called him captain ahab. so i guess it's nice closure here. but i do think, john, we talked about this before -- i just think that progressive democrats in new york feel differently about this than the rest of the country. and that's what we're seeing in these court rulings which are now not just merchan but the appellate division and the court of appeal. >> john: well, if everybody is quoting your wisdom, captain ahab and the great white whale, we will call you ismail. thank you, andy. [ chuckling ] appreciate it. sandra? >> i'll take it. >> sandra: all right, fox news alert now as we continue to monitor the weather situation there in california. firefighters are right now hoping that winds will continue

to subside a bit today as the fires rage on across southern california, so will they get more help and is it on the way? plus this. >> john: the number of people who left their homes and personal belongings behind to escape these fires is staggering. our next guest escaped on foot. he'll join us coming up next.

are [ ♪♪ ] >> john: dangerous weather playing a significant role in those deadly wildfires. regular flag fire weather warnings extended through tomorrow night. adam clack's tracking it all in the supreme weather centre. what's it looking like in the

next 24, 48 hours? >> far from perfect conditions but much better situations than we saw yesterday. that was a bit of an outlier. we don't typically see winds up to a hundred miles an hour. this is what it looks like right now, 30 miles an hour. it's not nothing but certainly quite a bit less than we've been dealing with and that is giving firefighters a break. this is our forecast running all the way through this evening. you do see times where winds will be up 30, 40, 50 miles per hour. there's larger lulls in that as well. running through the overnight hours on friday into early friday morning, running through the day friday, and we really see those winds kind of vanish as we get late on the day friday, absolutely excellent news. that's why as a result, yesterday, we saw this fire danger up to critical. -- up to extreme. today it's critical. into friday, it drops down to elevated. that does not mean the fire risk is completely gone but much lower. i'll leave you with this. it is the smoke. it's where all that fire continues to burn but this

continues to spread all across portions of southern california and we've got a large area here with the air quality alerts. it's been tough to breathe out there. we've seen that at its highest level of times, hazardous. right now it's unhealthy. still unhealthy air across a really large portion of southern california. >> john: adam, keep watching it for us. appreciate it. >> sandra: joining us for more on this is it steve bardak who owns two properties in the pacific palisades. thank you, sir, very much for joining us. what concerns you most at this hour? >> i think what concerns me most at this hour is the gross mismanagement by mayor bass of this entire operation. she's been absent and asleep at the wheel and was in ghana until yesterday. we don't have a real plan. you know, we had hydrants that were dry in the palisades, which is inexcusable. we really don't understand what the plan is to retrieve the

hundreds of cars that were abandoned, mine included, on sunset boulevard. there was no evacuation plan. when we got the order for evacuation, we had thousands of people trying to leave through the same egress and it turned into gridlock. then the fire came down to sunset boulevard. it consumed both sides of the roads and the cops told us to get out of the car and to run for our lives. so i grabbed my dog and ran down sunset boulevard. >> sandra: just incredible. as we look at some of these live shots of the utter devastation in the pacific palisades. this is jonathan's hunt shot of these houses just leveled, all that's left in some cases is a fireplace. you mentioned karen bass and the leadership being called into question. pretty severely at this hour. she just led a news conference where she was still dodging questions after this moment went viral from yesterday as she was making her way back into town at

the airport. listen. >> have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? elon musk says you're utterly incompetent. are you considering your position? madam mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster? > sandra: this as many are asking where is the management of this absolute crisis? and where was it leading up to it? >> what are we going to do about the sharp increases in insurance premiums because of this mass casualty event? we have to have a plan for that. who's going to actually manage the buildback of los angeles? we actually need a person that has proven expertise in

development that can oversee this type of a project who is an effective leader. we need somebody like rick caruso. we don't need somebody that is going to take taxpayer-funded boondoggle trips to ghana and be an asleep at the wheel while the city is burning. >> sandra: it's interesting what you're saying there, as these are live pictures, we continue to watch as they are able to get some aircraft in the air while there's a dip in the wind speed right now -- i want to finish off with this. to your point, adam kroll, a resident of that area, suggesting once people leave, a lot of times when it happens, it's this bad, they don't come back. watch. >> you guys all voted for karen bass, the mayor of los angeles. you all voted for gavin newsom. and now you [ bleep ] get what you get. oh, now that your house is on fire, now you want to know what's going on. what's going on around there? all those people who were deep

blue democrats are now going to have to pull a permit to rebuild. when they start running into the bureaucracy and the red tape, they're going to start going nuts and they're going to vote for rick caruso next time because they want to get -- that's all trump says. we're going to pull back the regulations. >> sandra: rick caruso was on this program yesterday, and ran against her in 2022 and lost. i want to get your quick final thought on that. >> i think los angeles made a mistake. karen bass does not serve the interests of l.a. residents. some of the decisions are nonsensical, such as cutting 17.6 million dollars from l.a. fire department's budget, but instead prioritizing homelessness where roughly half of the funds of 1.3.dollars was not even spent and it just doesn't make any sense. you know, where are her priorities? what is her strategy? where is the plan? she doesn't have one. we need a proven leader that is

effective, that understands priorities, that understands business, like rick caruso. >> sandra: well, that palisades fire is still at zero percent containment, so there is a lot still at risk here. the threat is still very real. we appreciate you joining us, ste steve, on all of that. our best to you. >> thank you very much. >> what's happened is a tragedy and the governor has not done a good job. with that being said, i got along well with him when he was governor and we worked together very well and we would work together, i guess it looks like we're going to be the one having to rebuild it. >> john: president-elect trump calling out california's governor newsom calling on him to resign over the wildfire desire. molly hemingway as trump and newsom reignite their long running feud. guess who trump is going to be sitting down to meet with? that's coming up next.

pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman confirming he is going to meet with president-elect trump. we have the breaking news from the hill. >> reporter: we don't know when, that's something we're trying to figure out right now. that's something that's pretty typical of john fetterman, working across the aisle. this really isn't surprising. he has bucked his party on many different occasions and this frankly is one example of that. >> john: we saw with brett bear

the other night that fetterman seemed to be on line with trump and greenland. >> i would never supporting taking it by force but i do think it's -- i don't think it's a responsible conversation if they were open to acquiring it and, you know, whether just buying it outright. if anyone thinks that's bonkers, like, remember the louisiana purchase? >> john: this is interesting to see that they see eye to eye on some things. >> reporter: they certainly see eye to eye on immigration and border security policy. we have this vote here in the next hour in the senate, a test vote, and john fetterman, he was the first democrat to say he would vote in favour of the lake and riley act. >> john: we'll see how it all works out. >> sandra: a live look of the wildfire devastation. we'll speak with a california resident who evacuated from one of the worst hit areas coming up. >> there's our place. right there. that's our balcony. our front entrance.

absolutely horrific.
