Summary: A week ago, a harmless bushfire errupted, now it is a raging inferno that has consumed over 1,000 buildings and is still raging on. This fire has now become the 5th largest wildfire the state has ever seen, and the worst part about it is that only 20% of it has been contained. It also gets worse, there are five other wildfires that are spreading throughout California at the same time. Only one person has died, which is pretty good compared to what could've been. However, over 93,000 people have been evacuated and there are "red flag warnings" still going out throughout the entire area of Los Angeles.

Analysis: I am utterly shock as in how in the world does a small bushfire turn into this monstrosity. Over 1,000 buildings destroyed and only 20% of it is contained? I pray for those who are suffering from this catastrophe and those firefighters who are still fighting this calamity.
