SUMMARY: Multiple wildfires in Los Angeles have caused devastation, with at least two deaths, over 1,000 destroyed structures, and thousands injured. The fires, fueled by fierce Santa Ana winds, include the Eaton, Palisades, and Hurst fires, which have rapidly spread across neighborhoods. More than 100 homes have burned in the Eaton Fire, and 1,000 structures were lost in Pacific Palisades. Thousands have been evacuated, including celebrities like Mark Hamill and Mandy Moore. Firefighting efforts are hindered by high winds, and emergency responders are stretched thin. The fires are exacerbated by dry conditions, with over 180,000 people losing power.

SUMMARY: A severe winter storm impacted the central U.S. on Sunday, bringing heavy snow, ice, and strong winds, with predictions of the heaviest snowfall in a decade. Major highways in Kansas and Indiana were covered with snow, leading to dangerous travel conditions and activating the National Guard in Indiana. States of emergency were declared in multiple states, while air travel faced significant disruptions, with nearly 200 canceled flights in St. Louis and delays at Kansas City International Airport. The storm is expected to move to the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic, bringing bone-chilling cold and potential severe thunderstorms.
