homes have burned in all of these areas and continue to burn and are continuing to be fed by these winds that will continue to push embers into other homes. we will see entire neighborhoods devastated. at some point today, just when able to actually see these neighborhoods until now, we've watched individual homes like this unone burned. >> we've in in the night sky orange flames consuming what appeared to be neighborhoods today. we're actually going to see toneighborhoods where homes are burned to the ground. entire neighborhoods. >> it is going to be devastating. and and i wish that it was going to be over soon. but with with these winds continue to blow, henry, is it? it's not over. and, you know, there's some good news to be had. i mean, we're hearing from eric spillman has been on the omfield. carlos. megan, tel that it appears as if the winds in many of these areas >> are not nearly as strong, but it still those wind gusts and those gusts to become shifty and just flare up. they'll be around for 10, 15 seconds. so we're seeing a little bit more lows in the wind, but we still have a

you can see where something has been burning and it's just burning right now. when gusts of winds pick up, what happens is it throws embers into the air. if it's just a short lasting gust, not a big problem. but if you get a very concentrated wind going, this is going to throw up embers. now we're going to go cross over here. you can see all along this hillside what you see is amber, amber, amber, amber, go on and so forth. this is just one lot out of hundreds, if not thousands of lots that have this problem. and then when we look over to the left, you can see this house that burned down. and yes, it burned down, but you can also see there's flames taking place here. if a big wind comes through here, 20, 30, 40 knot wind, what will happen is it's going to start throwing embers and the stuff that hasn't burned, and there's plenty of that around will start burning as well. so as a result, what you have is a situation where this is the ticking time bomb. this is what they're worried about. and that's why there are so many fire trucks around here doing one thing an

again, because we have 3 or 4 fires burning. you know, they could be apart by 35 miles, one in altadena near pasadena, then, of course, pacific palisades. and the challenge becomes, is they're concerned about the fire burning into brentwood. it's continuing to go into high populated areas. you add to it. and we heard earlier that pacific palisades literally is out of water. they have three large tanks, a million gallons of peace, and they've run out of water in those areas. so not only are they challenged with winds egress, getting people out of that area, but also being able to fight the fire because of lack of water. >> so what do they do if they run out of water? that's something we don't often hear. >> no we don't. what they do have the ability to do, and this is where we keep our fingers crossed. here, is we're hoping that you can get helicopters up so they can start, you know, doing bucket drops and things of that nature, which will be helpful. certainly fixed wing. if they can get those up, that will be helpful. they also
