What happened
A fast-moving wildfire burned multiple homes in Southern California, primarily in San Juan Capistrano and San Clemente, Orange County. The blaze, which started in San Clemente, was driven by strong northeast winds known as Santa Anas. The fire led to evacuations and caused tens of thousands of people in the state to lose power after electricity was shut off.
