Satellites watch as LA wildfires burn out of control in California (video)

A deadly wildfire continues to burn in parts of Los Angeles in Southern California, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) satellites continue to monitor the location of the fire and smoke across the region.

The Palisades Fire, which began Tuesday morning (Jan. 7), grew to just under 3,000 acres in less than 24 hours. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes and businesses, with more evacuation orders likely to be issued with the continued threat of powerful wind gusts.

According to the Associated Press (AP), the fire was fueled by extreme winds and burned through neighborhoods in Pacific Palisades (located in western Los Angeles).
