Two weeks have passed since a destructive wave of wildfires first gripped southern California, burning tens of thousands of acres and killing more than two dozen people in what has become one of the worst natural disasters in the state’s history.

When conditions are dry, as they are right now, these winds can become a severe fire hazard.
