There are not enough words to describe the impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles — one of the most destructive and costly firestorms in our state’s history. Whether we’ve lost our homes, are fleeing for safety, or desperately worried about people we love, so many people in California are grieving. Tens of thousands of residents have evacuated, leaving everything behind. We bring you some voices of people who are living this nightmare right now. Plus, we talk with the California Report’s Saul Gonzalez about Pacific Palisades, and journalist Steven Cuevas about the videos he’s been making to document the destruction in his own neighborhood in Altadena.
