California governor says Pacific Palisades wildfire has destroyed many structures as winds kick up

A wildfire whipped up by extreme winds is sweeping through a Los Angeles hillside dotted with celebrity residences. Homes have burned and tens of thousands of people are under evacuation orders, some of whom abandoned cars and fled on foot due to clogged roads. California Gov. Gavin Newsom says many structures have already been destroyed in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Officials have not given an exact number of structures damaged or destroyed in the Pacific Palisades wildfire. They say about 30,000 residents are under evacuation orders. The blaze began shortly after the start of a Santa Ana windstorm that the National Weather service warned could be the strongest to hit Southern California in more than a decade.
