Recently, the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) released a shocking time-lapse video captured from space of the California wildfires. These wildfires began on Tuesday afternoon, leading to the evacuation of 100,000 residents from their homes.
The fires in the Los Angeles area, including the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Olivas Fire, Lidia Fire, Scout Fire, Sunset Fire, and Woodley Fire, are threatening approximately 28,000 structures, as reported by Fox News Digital.

The most destructive wind storm to strike the Los Angeles area in 14 years is fanning wildfires and has sent thousands of residents fleeing for their lives, with dangerous gusts expected to persist for at least another two days. ( Jill Connelly/Bloomberg via Getty Images)
The other fires, which ignited Wednesday in Los Angeles, Riverside and Ventura counties, have burned more than 400 acres and are expected to progress, according to officials. All except the Lidia Fire are 0% contained.
