Editor's Note: The wildfires in California continue to rage. Click here for the latest evacuation orders for Wednesday, Jan. 15.
A deadly outbreak of wildfires in the Los Angeles region has prompted active evacuation orders for over 153,000 people Saturday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said at a news conference.
Evacuation warnings say 166,000 others residents should be prepared to flee. At least 57,000 structures are at risk and at 38,000 acres of land have been scorched from the blazes, including the Palisades Fire, the most destructive in Los Angeles's history.
Forecasters are warning that gusty winds will further pose dangerous conditions going into next week.
Alana Alejo, a Target security officer who has lived in LA since 2007, evacuated her home in the Encino neighborhood Friday. She said she decided to leave before an evacuation order was placed after seeing ashes in the air. She left taking valuables, a panicked pet hamster and an emergency food supply she had prepared for a moment like this.
"I was panicking trying to be calm," Alejo told USA TODAY Friday night outside the Lanark Recreation Center evacuation spot. "It's really hard seeing this happen. I have other friends that have lost, they lost their houses, like it's completely flat. This is very real."
