Southern California residents faced dire new wildfire warnings and power shut-offs on Tuesday while they prepared to flee at a moment’s notice as fire-fuelling winds blasted across the scarred landscape.
The winds, predicted to reach near-hurricane force in some areas, were expected to peak on Tuesday morning before easing and then regaining strength later in the day.
