Wind-fueled wildfires continued to grow Wednesday as overtaxed fire crews battled three major out-of-control blazes that killed at least five people and ravaged some of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area.

Tony Dokoupil spoke with evacuees of the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles who are coming to grips with the destruction wreaked by the blaze, which has destroyed at least 1,000 structures.

The Pacific Palisades wildfire and three others burning in and around Los Angeles, driven by powerful winds, have expanded, forcing residents to evacuate, destroying homes and other buildings and clogging roads in the region.
