San Diego wildfires - huge evacuations

It's incredible that with all the resources in California, the wildfires are still large enough to force over a quarter million evacuations. This is what can happen with dry conditions and strong winds.

More than a dozen wildfires have engulfed the region, killing at least one person, injuring dozens more and forcing hundreds of thousands of evacuations. Overwhelmed firefighters said they lacked the resources to save many houses.
