you were talking about it, the pacific ocean! in the pacific ocean! citizens of california and the citizens of los angeles made one undisputed fact. this could have been minimized if not afforded to a great extent. you look at the fact we speak today, two days of historic winds zero containment. this is the fold of the democratic leadership gavin newsom and karen bass. let me repeat that karen bass the mayor of the city of l.a. and gavin newsom. >> todd: leo, before we let you go, you are in west l.a. how worried that the fire is 0% contained? this will come out of mala blue pacific palisades and make its way to more populated area like santa monica, like brentwood. >> we are both lawyers. right now it is hope and prayer because we don't know. janice was talking about the winds. these flames and embers can go anywhere. case in point, look at palisades. everyone has to be on alert. there is no guarantee of this fire. sub right now, i don't know, but i have to be prepared to leave this house or make sure that i am prepared to leave his house. >> todd: l

our shot record we are overlooking into the pacific ocean over toward the pacific coast highway.lso between santa monica as well as over toward pacific palisades. removing a reliable short real quick for the moment because we have, we are on a fire wrote every now and then we get traffic going through. either way today so call her derek compared to what we have seen it yesterday and the video you've been watching and looking at is out of mandeville canyon we had a significant flareup on friday into saturday morning. but because the efforts are so aggressive to tamp those flames i believe that's why today were look at a much better situation. twenty-four aircraft's covering the fire in terms of acreage we had a jump of 50 acres or so this malt jumps we've had with this fire. you look at the overall support by air and also on the ground we encountered ourselves some of the firefighters clearing some of the brush. they've got incredible work we have to continue to watch it and see how the flames respond to the wind. this is round two of the santa ana winds we are coming out. we're h

community thatis live in this little community that is that we always take nestled between the pacific oceanange, it's a community of the hillside street, also a lot of lights but many hillside neighbourhoods. we are in the very high fire severity so—and—so lafd classifies us within the very high severity zone. we interface with our state and county leaders when it comes to things that have to do with fire safety because we know that this is where we live. so, in our minds, i would say that every single palace 80 and has some sort of warning sign that is going on because we know we live here. i was talking to someone early and say, what you do when you evacuate an asset, . .. we asset,... we are going to break into them _ asset,... we are going to break into them is _ asset,... we are going to break into them is this _ asset,... we are going to break into them is this press - into them is this press conference on the vade that my very latest. and following that, we will hear from very latest. and following that, we will hearfrom general manager as well as superintendent. the mayor will come

but if you were to drive along the pacific coast highway, you see that row of houses along the pacific ocean all those homes are gone. so when the smoke clears out you will see the pacific. >> yeah. i wish i could show it to you now. it is a stone's throw away across pch. as you know and trying to say, this is normally a row of uninterrupted houses from the palisades to zuma beach. $5 million homes minimum and they're overlooking the water. some on stilts water going right underneath them and yet they are all gone. it is difficult already to get insurance in california. this is going to make it worse. in fact, the supervisor said many people in palisades who don't have insurance. i know that's true in malibu as well, right? haven't been able to get it. the concerning thing to me is firefighters just haven't had the resources. in a fire like this this morning i would see a dozen -- several engines and yet there were two guys here, right? that's it. they had to let it go. all the way in this morning they were undermanned. houses on fire, nobody there. >> bill: wow, through the smoke and fog li

you see the pacific palisades, a neighborhood tucked between the santa monica mountains and the pacific ocean. the palisades fire has tripled in size since this morning at already destroyed at least 1000 structures, making it the most distraught of fire to ever occur in los angeles county, according to statistics from the wildfire alliance, which is run in part by the city's fire department. there are multiple fires, one known as the eaton fire has destroyed more than 10,000 acres and many structures in altadena and pasadena. this is the fire that killed five people. the hearst fire has burned 505 acres point the woodley fire ignited early this morning in the san fernando valley. there's also the lydia fire, all of these fires are 0% contained. devastating wildfires like these are becoming increasingly common with climate change intensifying the conditions that fuel them. for axios ucla climate scientist daniel swain referred to the high winds as an atmospheric blow dryer for its effects on trees and other vegetation. joining me now is jacob soboroff, nbc news political and national correspon

to also give you a sense of where we are, you have pacific ocean behind me.d then if you look off into the distance and we'll see if frank can get a shot of it. but you're looking over there. you've got santa monica, which is also mostly under evacuation orders. and back on these hills, if we pan back again to the left, you'll see parts of the palisades in the distance, which has been completely burned out. and then just up here in the mountains, we show you those santa monica mountains. and that is where we are in the evacuation zone. we are in the zone of the palisades fire right now. and those mountains are exactly where andy was just talking about. he wanted me to show you it's impossible for them to do bulldozers and to set a containment line. but the fire is up over those mountains. you don't see it right now. so sometimes it's hard to really envision it. but that is the the situation right over those mountains. and the worry is that these winds in the coming hours are going to pick up, putting at risk the rest of malibu and so many areas across los ang

the firebird tear about as far as it could go, to the pacific ocean. yesterday the palisades fire was making a run towards the communities of brentwood and really the greater los angeles area. fire officials tell me this morning they have largely buttoned that area. caretakers have been making drops in that area. things are relatively stable and there is minimal fire activity for now. we are not out of the woods by any means. we do have another santa ana winds coming up 30-40 mile-per-hour wind expected. there is a potential for flareups. 11% contained means they have aligned around sanctions of the fire where the fire cannot cross when you have got wade gusting potentially 70 miles per hour in some areas, that wine simply will not hold. when we look at where we are standing right now, you can see that there is work on going. they are turning off gas lines in the area. that is been a big issue. we have seen houses go up in flames days after the initial front of the fire moved through. that is because, largely, a lot of gas lines have simply been runnin

what you can't see is we are across the street from the pacific ocean, from pacific coast highway, andace is famous for just the sheer amount of luxury beachfront properties. that is no longer there. it is wiped from the map, and what that shows us is this palisades fire burned so quickly to the south that the only thing stopping it was the pacific ocean. now, this morning we are learning more about water supply issues. a local fire captain telling abc news that when a structure with a sprinkler system burns down, that water from that system continues to flow. that impacting the water supply and losing pressure for those firefighters fighting these fires here in los angeles. in addition, we're learning that a nearby 117-million gallon reservoir, it was taken offline for repairs before the fires. a brush fire burning close to that facility. governor newsom is demanding an investigation into the water issues. we also know the l.a. fire commission sent a report by the fire chief to mayor karen bass just weeks ago raising the alarm about cuts to the fire department's budget. there are, of

we have lost some real treasures along the pacific ocean. >> these incredible images just ashes. really? we couldn't believe it. but this this was the iconic moon shadows restaurant along pacific coast highway. the rest are on a celebrity hangout, a special occasion spot for so many people here in the la area perched out over the pacific. but now we saw it. has been destroyed. the entire structure went up in flames and then it just fell into the ocean down pch. the real in that funky seafood, roadside restaurant and then the thai restaurant next door also destroyed and the houses beachside cottages, multi-million dollar mansions. >> burned to the ground. really one after another for about 3 miles. several homes in the 20,800 block of pch in malibu destroyed. >> as fire responders did structure protection on one of those homes along pch. a firefighter was injured. it appeared to be a minor injury to his arm, but he was transported from the scene. much of the damage in the carbon canyon area. trees down, power lines down and dozens of utility poles up in flames and just lying across

so right along the coastline of the pacific ocean and long the bay shoreline, again, lot of 60's, but very low 60's for the most part. so you have little bit further south, ok, woodside gets to 63. so we do have some variation. 66 for san jose and morgan hill and for santa clara head to the east bay. we're looking at low to mid 60's once again. so it's the same deal with that beautiful conditions. 61 in walnut creek, 62 in napa and santa rosa gets up to 66 degrees. a look at the 7 day forecast shows. yeah, we get the rain on friday and then we clear it out for saturday sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday and beyond. you'll see beautiful conditions for us. if you like the dry weather, you want a chance to dry out. this will be a week. once we get past friday, >> all right. let's get you, roland. look at averages all smooth on this tuesday. more thursday morning. well, 9 minutes on the bay bridge while you're rich was among those at 7 and that golden gate bridge. 20 minutes. >> lot brands sold at wal-mart stores coming off shelves. brand braga fresh issued a voluntary recall for its 12 o

that's essentially. >> where pacific palisades is right along the pacific ocean there to actually beautiful enclave. and the problem is that it also is kind of surrounded by a lot of beautiful greenery and that is probably not helping situations right now. temperatures have been warm today that has everything to do with the offshore. when you can see los angeles at 70 degrees, we, too, have been seeing some of those warm temperatures. but this i think is the sticking point. that is the reason they're having the biggest trouble. if you look at downtown san francisco, we've gotten over 10 inches of rain since october. 1st. that's our water. you're right. that starts october. first downtown los angeles. he's gotten 16 1 hundredths. that is a huge difference. so while we have saturated ground, they have incredibly dry brush that is out there. and guys, i think that is really the thing that is making this even worse right now. >> makes sense. thank you. kyla. the woman kidnapped and raped in a notorious case in valais in 2015 is speaking publicly. >> after news, her attacker is now facing new ch

here's the pacific ocean and malibu's up the coast.me through the desert, it's blowing through here, and this is an area where palisades would be surrounded by the canyons and mountains. ad apple brought it up, when thn the santa anas are the highest, it's winter, january and december the average wind events per month there in california. adam: that's when you get the high pressure that we keep seeing in the video and the low pressure sitting off the desert, and it sets up perfectly. they're not always 70, 80, 90, 1000 miles an hour -- 100, it's more like 40 to-60. will: let's do this quickly, here's sort of the cheat sheet on what these winds do. they pick up, they spread embers. they can ignite the fires by knocking down power lines. as adam a pointed out, warm winds exacerbate existing fires it and loses humidity and dries out. you know, griff just mentioned this, it's dry now. but here's another factor, adam. two years ago, 2023, the winter, it was wet. they had a big, heavy rainfall that year with. what that a means is vegetation

this little - yeah, we live in this little community that we always say is nestled between the pacific oceanin range. the community of hillside streets, also a lot of hillside streets, also a lot of flats but many hillside neighborhoods. we're within the very high fire severity zone. l afd classifies us to be in the high fire is old for that we monitor legislation that has to do with a high severity zone we entered days with leaders when it comes to things with fire safety because we know that this is where we live. in our minds i would say that every single person has a warning sign is always going up because we know we live here. i was talking to someone earlier and they said, what do you do when you evacuate and i said most people probably thought if you don't have a go back you thought about what you would do so you can probably gather pretty quickly. there's nothing we can do about our topography. they are hillside streets, they can be narrow. we don't have a lot of ways in and out of this little community. it's a sweet and beautiful community for a lot of reasons but one of them is the

normally, you wouldn't be able to see the pacific ocean from here. of those multi—million dollar mansions are gone. it is destruction as far as the eye can see, and the road to recovery will be long. and with forecasters warning that the fierce santa ana winds could return, the battle is far from over. residents in the fire's path face a cruel waiting game, fearing that the nightmare will strike again. i am terrified because if it does change, i actually don't know where i would go, to be honest. like, i don't have family here. i have friends, but they're all affected. so i don't have a set plan in mind, and it's terrifying. amid the terror, a political storm brews. president—elect donald trump has criticised what he calls "incompetent california politicians" for the crisis. injust over a week, it will be one he inherits. is the incoming president expected to come here? i believe so. what awaits donald trump, if he comes, may reveal an even bleaker reality than what is known so far, as the number of missing continues to grow. helena humphrey, bbc new

and vern, you and i can look out the window and go after the pavilion and hit a rock and hit the pacific oceanow. last week, we are on the east coast. and so it is the travel that is a challenge. the logistics are a challenge, but with that there is a great opportunity to do something special. >> and not much could be said about that? >> and because i know that you're a uva grad. you did tell metta had you would be switzerland tonight. >> i am. i am. >> and i'm straddling the fence. >> we will turn you from switzerland to all cal, buddy. [ laughter ] >> all right. the nfl. 49ers, kyle shanahan and john lynch have their final end of the year press conference today before the off season will begin where the 49ers have missed the playoffs for the first time since 2020. >> we don't plan on being in this place. we don't like it. it is terrible to sit home and watch something that you would expect yourself to be in the tournament. >> reporter: one of the casualties of the niners 6-11 season is nick sorenson, who is out as defensive coordinator after just one season. the next hire will be the team's

i look down up through pacific coast highway behind the camera in the pacific ocean and you just seevoys of emergency vehicles continuing to come through and then head up into the hills to try and either a, fight the fire or b, do investigations as we heard in the press conference. as well, it is interesting to note ashes from the fire continue to fall even though there's no active fire where i'm standing right now ashes are falling as the wind kind of blows that smoke out to the west and over the pacific ocean, and over lays over towns like santa monica, and brentwood you know, your description of the containment so important, right? the containment is yes. those lines that they're drawing in order to, you know, stop where the fire is so it doesn't jump. right jump canyons, hills or even into structures. and that's just superimportant for people to understand. as they are beginning to fight this again from the air, this morning and will all into the evening and the ground. yes there's 11 confirmed deaths between not only here in the palisades fire, but to the north, and it is going

we're standing in what was a mobile home community right along the pacific ocean and these homes. and, i mean, all of these homes have been reduced to rubble and ash. we're going to zoom over just a little bit. you can see a car that was completely burned down to the engine block there. and when we zoom out to this entire community, you can see how vast the destruction is. not one home left standing in this community. and unfortunately, tragically, there are several other neighborhoods just like this around pacific palisades, blocks upon blocks of houses that have been destroyed, along with schools and people's businesses. people across los angeles returning to find their homes reduced to rubble. flames leveling entire neighborhoods, leaving many wondering what's next. >> the whole thing, like everything, my whole neighborhood, everything that i grew up to love and know is burnt up. >> crews are taking advantage of calm winds to make progress on the palisades and eaton fires, as well as the kenneth fire that sparked on thursday. a red flag warning expires tonight, but strong gusts

santa ana winds come blowing from inland in the united states interior out to the coast of the pacific oceaning a lot of us are used to, but the idea that it would be the tinderbox that it is tonight, i've seen a lot of fires. i've seen them in rural areas. i've even seen houses burn down here in southern california, but never a situation where thousands of people, tens of thousands were forced to evacuate at one particular time in the heart of the city of los angeles because that's what pacific palisades is. l.a. is a city of different communities and the palisades is one of the big ones, steph. >> the worst of the windstorm hasn't even begun yet. so where are we in this? >> reporter: they're saying that the winds could pick up tonight. you can see the gusts now, but they could go upwards of 60, 70, maybe even 100-mile-an-hour gusts tonight on the other side of town where i live today. there's a fire burning in altadena opposite side of los angeles county from where we are now. trees are falling down. particulate matter is blowing through the air. this is a very dangerous situation. l.a. co

we should be building in california is impeded because the water has to be shipped out to the pacific ocean, supposedly to help the delta smelt. the water increases have happened since 1992, legislation here increased another 800,000 acre feet per year, and it's built up from there. so hopefully or somehow helped the delta smelt. this is shasta dam in northern california, which we're trying to get filled right now. but is going to be less and less useful for people as more and more of this water is dumped out through the delta. what's that mean for southern california? well, for example, let's lay this one down. let's take a look at this. this is a reservoir which currently is empty. supposedly for rehab and some maintenance. this is what it's supposed to look like full. that's what it looks like right now. seems people in southern california, they're supposed to be in charge, didn't even know it was empty. so this holds approximately 40 aircraft feet, ok? when it's full -- acre feet, ok? when it's full. 117 million gallons. the shasta dam here, full, holds 4 1/2 million acre feet. so what

fire department and now the governor gavin newsom used water coming from canada and sent into the pacific oceanot store water, the fire hydrants did not have enough water. i want to get your response in the assessment of how this was handled. >> number one there are so many layers of mismanagement that are going on you can start with the forestry mismanagement california flushes billions of water into the ocean every single day, we don't have an asis on water and that should be the biggest emphasis another one it's infuriating to hear leaders say we don't have enough firefighting personnel on the ground and we don't have enough firefighters, this is the city that terminated veteran firefighters over the covid vaccination mandate. pull them off the line for no reason in the name of fake science and fake health. no public health benefit in they pulled battalion chiefs out of the command. they pulled firefighters, apparatus engineers also line, not only did they do that in terminated the firefighters for no reason that repelled qualified recruits nobody wants to work for a department that doesn't

they dip into the pacific ocean and dump 6 tons of water at a time on these fires.firefighters losing a big time asset because some clown had a drone out here that they were flying around. then we want to show you this video. take a look. this is the start of the palisades fire. the moment it first broke out tuesday morning. a friend of mine rubs a youtube channel over at lax. where he is always live. and is he showing airplanes landing. it's an airline channel. in the background of these planes landing. you see the smoke plume slowly starting to begin on the back hill. it gets bigger and bigger. ultimately within about 15 minutes its flames running down hill, heading towards the homes in that area. president-elect donald trump says there is failure across the board here at the state level in california and certainly at the city level. take a listen. >> i think it's one of the great catastrophes in the history of our nation. i think that gavin is largely incompetent and i think the mayor is largely incompetent and probably both of them are just stone cold incompeten

normally, you wouldn't be able to see this expanse of the pacific ocean.f the level of disruption. because of the fact that so many of these multi—million dollar homes have been raised to the ground. looking in this direction, as you can see, after house are simply gone. destruction as far as they are conceived right now. we have had over half1 billion gallons of water dropped from the sky in this area to try to slow the spread of the fire. but we are now six days into this crisis. you can see the wind picking up. we have more stories about people taking matters into their own hands with fire crews stretched. i spoke to rick snyder in pasadena who for 36 years was a fire chief. he was retired for two years, but when this flames came down the mountain take took matters into his own hands and saved his name had. listen to our conversation. rich, thanks so much for being with us. we're standing where the fire in this area started. just take us through what happened that night. so i was working on my computer. i was doing a presentation on fire risk mitigation

i later served as a submarine officer, and my last duty at sea in the pacific ocean was during the korean war. i served in the navy for 11 years, and i came back to georgia to a life of farming. one of the most memorable occasions i had was the volunteer of what they called a "pioneer missionary program." every year, i would go somewhere every year assigned by the convention to bring other people to christ. one of my most memorable ones was to massachusetts and i had a leader there who was from brooklyn new york. , he was a cuban-american and his name was eloy crews. i would read a few verses from the bible, in spanish using a , different vocabulary than the one i had used in the navy, i might say. and he would give the final salvation to perspective followers of christ. he was more than successful in winning those souls to be christians. when we got through with our assignment in massachusetts and begin to leave to go back home, i asked him, what is the secret to your success? he was a little embarrassed about my question but he finally said, "i tried to have two loves in my heart. one i
