Im Norah Odonnell with gayle king and bianna golodryga. Battling another massive wildfire. A huge area of the state is now in flame. The new fire in San Diego County erupted yesterday and exploded in size. Dry and windy conditions are fueling these flames. More than 500 homes and other buildings have been destroyed across the region. More than 190,000 people are under evacuation orders. And at least one person has been killed. Six major fires are now raging across Southern California. They have burned more than 220 square miles. Carter evans is in bonsall, california, near the new fire, carter, good morningwa. Reporter good morning. We were here about 6 00 last night when this home caught fire. We watched it burn. It was just raging when firefighters were here. They were putting everything they had on it. It did not seem to make a difference. This is one of about a dozen homes that burned in this fastmoving fire. Its still going. As the fire spread from home to home, firefighters worked endlessly to stop it in its tracks. Fierce winds about 35 Miles Per Hour carry embers through the air, putting more than 1,000 structures in danger. At first, this crew had no access to a hydrant, leaving them with only 500 gallons of water to try to contain the flames. When firefighters came across this home, it was already burning. You could see theyre putting a lot of water on it right now. But its hardly doing anything. At this point, theyre just trying to keep the flames from spreading. The lilac fire in San Diego County exploded to more than 4,100 acres in just a few hours thursday. These are fully involved. Theres nothing we can do about it. Were going to let those burn down to the ground. We have crews surrounding this whole area. Were going to make a stand and were going to protect all the ones that we can. Reporter several homes in this community were incinerated. While others just down the street were untouched. The lilac fire is just the latest in a string of fires tearing through Southern California since monday. Officials are concerned shifting winds expected today could cause the largest of those, the thomas fire in ventura county, to scorch other communities. At least 439 structures have burned so far in this fire. Back at this Horse Training Center in San Diego County, people were forced to set hundreds of thoroughbreds free from their burning barn. They say about 25 horses died while trying to escape. Jennifer bramblett helped rescue some from a field nearby. Everybody just grabbing horses. Were trying barns that burnt down. Whats it like to know you wont save them all . I think we caught most of the loose ones. Everybody will work all night long. Well find them. Reporter you could see some old books, blanket smoldering there in this fire thats still burning. A lot of schools are going to be closed in san diego today. This windy weather is unusual this time of year. So close to winter. And firefighters say it could take weeks for these fires to die down. Gayle. Carter, stay safe, thanks. Whenever weathercaster lonnie quinn of our station wcbs is here tracking the latest fire conditions. Lonnie, i certainly hope you got better news this morning, good morning. Look, Mother Nature not helping out. The problem with the santa anas, theyre super dry, theyre strong, theyre exacerbated by the mountain passes. Winds at 20, 30, 40 miles an hour. Today, there is going to be a bit of a shift. Now, any time you get those winds off the water any way, shape or form, theres a little more moisture. Thats the better situation. Look at this, it lasts for a second. It goes right back to a santa ana flow as you go through the nighttime hours into saturday, into sunday. Whenever you see that blue shading coming up, those are winds at 30 miles an hour or stronger. I see this as a very bad situation. Im also looking for rain. That would be a huge help, right . I do not see rain in this area for two weeks or so. Norah, well keep an eye on everything. Lonnie, thank you. Winter storm systems will impact millions of people from texas to maine over the next few days. San antonio texas, my home city, saw rare snowfall overnight.

Its been snowing steadily in hamburg overnight. Some of the areas reporting about 15 inches of snow. Right here, id say we probably have about a foot of accumulation. But people in the buffalo area are used to getting slammed by winter weather. But when it happens all at once, it can be dangerous. The concern of course this morning is the commute. Some areas still have whiteout conditions. And the roads are very, very slippery, very dangerous. The plows and the police have been out all night making sure people get to where they need to go safely. But in michigan, these conditions caused a 20car pileup. We saw yesterday a lot of cars slipping and sliding, trying to make their way up the hills. We also witnessed something really unusual. A four wheel drive pickup truck pulling a tractor trailer rig out of some ice. You dont see that every day. Good commercial for the car company. Its been warm here recently. So the folks are having a hard time adjusting i think to the new reality. We actually witnessed some guys shoveling in shorts. And without shirts. Don, thank you.
