Part 3/4:
Compounding the challenges faced by firefighters, the National Weather Service in Los Angeles has forecasted strong winds from the north to northeast. These winds are expected to escalate, reaching speeds of 30 to 40 mph, with gusts potentially hitting a hazardous 65 mph. In response to these conditions, power has been shut off to tens of thousands of people as utility companies proactively work to mitigate the fire's danger, which is significantly exacerbated by Southern California's infamous Santa Ana winds.
