California firefighters are battling wind-whipped wildfires tearing across the Los Angeles area. The blazes that burned uncontained early Wednesday have destroyed homes, clogged roadways as tens of thousands fled and strained resources. The Los Angeles County fire chief says more than 1,000 structures have been destroyed and at least two people have been killed. The flames from a fire that broke out Tuesday evening in the inland foothills northeast of the city are spreading so rapidly that staff at a senior living center had to evacuate dozens of residents. Another blaze that started hours earlier was ripping through the city’s Pacific Palisades neighborhood, a hillside area along the coast dotted with celebrity residences.
