Lakers coach JJ Redick, acting legend James Woods, and reality TV stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are among the celebrities who have lost their homes in the massive wildfire raging in the Los Angeles area.
Strong winds fanned the flames northeast of Los Angeles hours after another blaze tore through the city’s Pacific Palisades neighborhood along the coast, the AP reported.
Fleeing residents abandoned their cars on the Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset Boulevard. Bulldozers were seen pushing the cars out of the roadway to make way for emergency vehicles.

People were wondering where all the fire fighters were….
Well. 85 mph winds grounded all air attack.
No air attack? Greatly inhibits ground forces.
