'New normal' ferocious winds whip up deadly California fires

Two deadly wildfires, fueled by strong winds, have torn through opposite ends of California, with residents urged to heed evacuation orders. The Camp Fire in northern California is one of the deadliest and most destructive in the state's history, killing at least 23 since it broke out on Thursday northeast of Sacramento and consuming much of the mountain town of Paradise. More than 100 people are reported missing. In Southern California, at least two people died in the Woolsey conflagration threatening the wealthy beach community of Malibu, near Los Angeles. The fires have prompted officials to declare a "new normal" as the rate of spread is exponentially more than it used to be.
