Southern California has been dealing with deadly wildfires since Tuesday, with several thousand acres burning in the Los Angeles area. Powerful windstorms have sparked multiple fires, including the Palisades, Eaton, Hurst, Lidia, and Sunset. Given the sheer scale and intensity of destruction, it can be hard to track the fires, especially if you can possibly be affected.
