First story out of California. Hurricane force is a term to describe wind speeds that blow at or faster than 74 miles per hour and some of the winds buffeting1 wildfires near Los Angeles are at hurricane force. These are the Santa Ana winds — hot, dry, dusty gusts2 that blow from the desert across southern California out towards the Pacific Coast.
They can be a?t their worst in October and they make it very difficult, if not impossible, for firefighters to contain or wa?ll in a wildfire. What's known as the Getty Fire was threatening more than 7,000 homes around L.A. last night and it was just one of at least 10 wildfires burning across California. Tens of thousands of acres, each one roughly the size of a football field, have been scorched3 across the state. Dozens of homes have been lost. Power's been cut off to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses because California's largest utility company doesn't want its equipment sparking new fires in the windy conditions. Schools, houses, businesses even museums have been evacuated4.
