Devastating wildfires in and around Los Angeles have led to five deaths, the destruction of thousands of homes, and over 100,000 evacuations. Authorities attribute these challenging fires to the Santa Ana winds, which are unusually strong and unpredictable this year. Experts warn that climate change is exacerbating the situation, leading to drier conditions and more frequent extreme weather events. With wooden houses prevalent in the area, the danger to property increases. Firefighters face an uphill battle as they work to control the flames amidst heavy winds.
