NASA satellites continue to capture remarkable new images of the wildfires raging in Southern California. At least 15 massive fires are reported to have scorched about 415.000 acres, from north of Los Angeles to the Mexican border southeast of San Diego. Dry, drought-stricken vegetation and Santa Ana winds, which can reach hurricane speeds, have contributed to the devastating effect of these blazes. According to news reports, the blazes have killed one person and injured at least 70 more. Thirty-four firefighters have been hurt. More than 1.300 homes have been destroyed and nearly a million people have been forced to evacuate.
