Tens of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes as a brush fire in the Pacific Palisades grew to more than 20,400 acres by Friday.

As crews continue to battle the deadly Palisades Fire in Los Angeles County, the scope of its destruction is coming into focus two days after the massive blaze first ignited.

The blaze began shortly after the start of a Santa Ana windstorm that the National Weather service warned could be the strongest to hit Southern California in more than a decade.
