Gusts have exceeded 90 miles (144 kilometers) per hour.At least three wildfires were burning in Southern California Thursday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The largest is a fast-growing brush fire thats forced evacuations in Orange County and had ripped through more than 4,000 acres by 9:45 a.m. local time.California has already been charred by record fires that have burned 4.2 million acres and killed 31 people in 2020.
