If you read one fire thing today: "PDS" equals "as bad as it gets" - beyond "red flag," created for hurricanes, not west coast winds. The last three times it was issued here, many structures burned. The last warning: ruin. The next starts in just a few hours. Prepare to go.

NWS Los Angeles @NWSLosAngeles

Extreme fire danger will continue thru Wed. PDS Red Flag Warnings are for the extreme of the extreme fire weather scenarios. In other words, this setup is about as bad as it gets. Stay aware of your surroundings. Be prepared to evacuate. Avoid anything that can spark a fire.#cawx https://t.co/JedMNHvygB

Can’t tell you how imperative it is to stay inside near these fire zones right now and if you have to be out… not having the proper protection can have long term consequences. We’re doing our best.

Altadena, CA moments ago. There are untold dozens of homes on fire. In this neighborhood, it’s nearly every street, every block. The smoke is its own night pierced only by the light of homes turned to single and multi story torches. Firefighters are doing the best they can. https://t.co/4vIjPStZRh
