Live video updates

A major Santa Ana windstorm fanned flames overnight, as a devastating fire continued to burn in Pacific Palisades. Two more fires erupted in Sylmar and Altadena, forcing thousands more to evacuate.

• Three major fires are burning in Pacific Palisades, Sylmar and Altadena as strong winds continue Wednesday morning.
• The devastating wind-driven brush fire in Pacific Palisades that destroyed homes and forced thousands to flee continues to burn, with new evacuation warnings issued for Malibu.
• The Eaton Fire near Altadena has burned at least 1,000 acres and prompted evacuation orders in the San Gabriel Valley.
• A third wildfire, named the Hurst Fire, has burned at least 500 acres in Sylmar.
• Drivers trying to evacuate all three areas have encountered traffic gridlock on busy roads, hindering movement in critical areas.
• Red flag warnings remain in effect for the Malibu coast, Santa Monica Mountains Recreational Area, and the San Gabriel, San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys.
• Why is it so windy? The weather is all about Southern California topography and the notorious Santa Ana winds.

An evacuation order was issued for all La Cañada Flintridge residents early Wednesday morning.
