▶️: Punishing Santa Ana winds that pushed fires into Los Angeles-area neighborhoods, burning six homes, were expected to last through Friday, October 25 and could prompt more power shutoffs to hundreds of thousands of people.
👉 The wind-whipped blazes broke out Thursday in the Santa Clarita area and the largest remained uncontained. As many as 50,000 people were under evacuation orders.
In Northern California, a fire near the wine country town of Geyserville burned 49 buildings.
No injuries were reported but fire officials say a firefighting helicopter was struck by a bird and its windshield damage, forcing it out of the fight until Friday. Southern California Edison, which cut power to more than 31,000 customers Thursday, was considering additional power cuts to more than 386,000 customers. (VOA)
