is helping also the cool temperatures here in southern california are actually really helping these guys out there and the problem is that when the wind gusts pick up will carry an ember from one home or one spot and then and then throw it about a mile or two away and then that creates a spot fire and then the fire catches up to that and that s how fast this fire is moving we have got agencies from all across southern california coming up to help us today or are not exactly sure if they can get any containment right now so people are still evacuating p.c.h. highway one the main thoroughfare through malibu has been backed up since yesterday afternoon it still sounds like dangerous conditions and journalist jason keva donya in los angeles thank you very much thank you. let s get you updated
ooefb hieven higher. what they were expecting tonight was 20 mile an hour top winds to 11:00 p.m. pacific and from then on, up to 30 miles per hour, but it seems those santa ana winds are coming already. we are in if foothills above santa barbara. these are spot fires. you can maybe make out the sun through the smoke. that looks like clouds. it s not. it s all smoke. swing around up here and look at the smoke in the air f. you go back around to where the thomas fire is burning, you can see this massive column of smoke that has started to come up here. if you come around all the way to this side, you can see these firefighters down here. this is another spot fire they ve been working on just down here. and then over this way. this is a fire that s just blown up in the last 15 minutes as this really intense wind is actually hard to stand up in it
those vehicles you see down at that end there was a spot fire, a fire that threw and ember over the road and they are trying to contain that right now. rather than try to turn out these fires, they let them burn at a very slow rate as long as the winds works with them so that they can burn out all of that fuel under there and hopefully create a stronger line at the end of the day. this is a massive fire complex. the fire is literally just north of san francisco all the way to the oregon border. this area in mendocino, napa, sonoma county, just fire after fire, and they are all now at the mercy of the wind. it is a red flag warning tonight and it could be in the days ahead. jake. all right, miguel marquez, thank you so much. president trump telling the devastated thirsty and hungry residents of the island of puerto rico that the federal government may not be there much longer. i don t remember hearing the same warning for florida and texas. that s 67 electoral votes, of course. stick
distinction. his supervisor said he s not going to be charged with this. the people in trouble are actually growing the pot plants. here s my question. you pick somebody up. oh yeah we got to pick up a guy and take him back to fort sam. do they give him a drug test when he returns? shouldn t they give him a drug test when he returns? he s active duty. remember he s protecting us right now. he is armed. not very effectively, apparently. before his release in trade for those top 5 taliban leaders who set on killing all of us you, all americans, he was actually in the process of searching for him, we lost our own, so this is a man in a bad trade that comes back and now wanders off again and found in a pot fire. you got to be kidding me. if you ve talked with anybody who serve with bergdahl or the
down. we ll stay very hot and very windy. if a spot fire pops up we could see it progress 100 feet per minute. that s a football feel every three minutes. very dangerous across the area. as we go through the overnight hours, we are got go continue to see the winds at 15 miles per hour. gusting even higher at times. a little bit of a break. the winds do die down in the area but then they are expected to pick back up again on thursday. of course we won t see any rain. that would be a welcome sight. we are still in that severe drought. went of aee right there and under a severe to moderate drought, of course, in the area. we are entering the drier months. as we move into the next few months the situation will get more scary. down in the 20s, very, very dry for the area and it will stay that way over the next couple of days. temperatures will stay in the triple digits as well wolf
