Is the area between the buildings all forest that was on fire?
Dr. Van Den Hoek is a badass.
This is a great quick reference, but be aware it’s not 100% accurate–a house I’ve heard was destroyed in the Palisades fire is showing on this map as “undamaged.”
Is that even LA? I don’t recognize any of the places on the map
Any idea of the population of the houses that burned. My guess is around 30,000 people lost their homes in these maps.
