Similar to the Palisades, Altadena has nearly been totally destroyed. With the high wind speeds over 60 mph on Tuesday and early Wed, embers were flying everywhere. I drove within a few feet of several smaller fires. Very scary and surreal experience, and because there were not enough fire fighters and water, many homes were simply burning to the ground with no attempts to save them. Over 1,000 structures destroyed. It looks like a war zone! Sad for all the people who lost their homes!
