‘This Is So Crazy!’ CNN’s Anderson Cooper Reports Live In Front of Pasadena Homes Engulfed In Flames

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper reported live in front of homes in Pasadena engulfed in flames as fires rage across Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California.

Recently, fires have forced residents in the northern Los Angeles area to flee with more than 10,000 homes being evacuated over the last 24 hours. The fire has also reportedly burned over 10,000 acres, causing widespread panic and a swift response from state and local fire departments.

Directly north of Pasadena, Cooper and a CNN camera crew toured a residential community engulfed in flames from the wildfire. The veteran CNN anchor was only feet away as homes fell apart from the growing blaze.

Look at all these embers just flying up. You see them in the smoke, all of that. The winds are a little have died down here, but those can just get picked up by winds for miles and they can go for miles and light down, you know, fall on somebody’s roof and a whole new fire will pop up. So this house is gone. This house has now is now under way. The the left side of this house is ignited and also now the house nearby it.

But I mean, these embers are like snowflakes. They’re falling all around us. The sun. I mean, this is so crazy! You can’t even see the sun. It is completely blacked out. You can’t even see this house, but that if inside that smoke is another house, it is sandwiched between two houses completely ablaze. There’s no way that house is going to survive. And then just down the block, you know, you see smoke, but you don’t see fires. But there’s a lot of houses which have already been destroyed down there. But this is very active.
