At Least 11 Dead in So. California Fires
5 hours ago
Some Los Angeles area residents have begun returning to their still smoldering neighborhoods to search for their belongings even as the threat of new fires persists. For many it has been a first look at the staggering reality of what was lost. Southern California faces a gargantuan challenge of overcoming the disaster and rebuilding. The blazes have killed at least 11 people, obliterated neighborhoods and left the nation’s second-largest city on edge. Firefighters were making gains Friday. But new flareups continue. By Friday evening, new evacuations were ordered in an area that includes part of Interstate 405 after a flare up on the eastern side of the Palisades Fire.
And it’s ice that’s causing problems across the South… Power outage numbers around Atlanta have crept up as meteorologists warn of accumulating freezing rain. Georgia transportation officials are urging people to stay off the roads until midday Saturday. The snow and ice is forecast to continue across the Carolinas, Virginia, and the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Sanders has mobilized the National Guard to help stranded motorists. School was canceled for millions of children from Texas to Georgia and as far east as South Carolina.
