SATELLITE pictures have revealed whole blocks of homes in Los Angeles have been burned to rubble by the wildfires. The snaps show before, during, and after the uncontrolled blazes have burned through LA homes and celebrity enclaves and caused 130,000 to flee.

The pictures from outer space show the devastation wrought by the Palisades fire in Pacific Palisades and the Eaton fire in Altadena and Pasadena. Before photos show the neighbourhoods full of green trees, multi-colored roofs, and grey roads. While the after photos of the same areas show bright red and orange fires burning, thick smoke flying into the air, and brown rubble where houses were.

The two most dangerous fires, Palisades and Eaton, are not contained at all and continue to threaten homes. They have already burned through 30,000 acres of land and led to 130,000 people being evacuated. It comes as... Only one of the fires which started in LA are under control - the Woodley fire in Van Nuys.

Of those that continue to burn, the closest to being curbed is the Lidia fire on 40 per cent containment, according to LA Fire. Two blazes which started in neighboring Riverside County, named Tyler and Scout, have been brought under control. Some evacuees were caught in gridlock traffic as people desperately try to drive away from disaster.
A bulldozer had to be brought in to clear cars abandoned in the middle of Palisades Drive after drivers fled the cars as the fire approached. Other evacuees could be seen carrying their most prized belongings on their backs as they walked their way to safety through the thick smoke.
