Explosive Wildfires in California's Ventura County Force 27,000 to Evacuate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, a wildfire in Ventura County north of Los Angeles
exploded in size Tuesday, burning 55,000 acres, destroying over 150
buildings, forcing 27,000 people to evacuate and knocking out power for
over a quarter-million residents. Meanwhile, new fires have erupted
across Southern California, fanned by gusty Santa Ana winds. The fires
are so bad, they appear in a NASA satellite photograph.
