From the New York Post: Horrifying aerial footage captured huge areas of wildfire-ravaged Los Angeles looking like a charred war zone.
The drone footage taken Wednesday panned over a completely abandoned neighborhood of crumbled homes and structures coated in char and dark, smoky dust from the fires, which have left at least five dead and more than 130,000 under evacuation orders.
Entire blocks were shown burned to ash from the blazes — which erupted in the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood Tuesday morning and have already damaged thousands of buildings.
Bare frames of homes and yards littered with scorched debris could be made out as the video panned over a destroyed neighborhood that featured small patches of fires remaining.
Over 2,000 structures, including homes and businesses, have been reduced to ashes in the devastating fires this week.
It’s still not over, as the fires are expected to continue at least through Friday night.
