Caption/Description
A maelstrom of embers whips across a field near Santa Clarita, California. Driven by Santa Anas—fierce winds that can gust at more than a hundred miles an hour—wildfires burned hundreds of square miles of drought-stricken trees and brush, with exhausted fire crews struggling to keep up.
