PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. (KABC) -- An apocalyptic scene of destruction in Pacific Palisades was visible from AIR7 on Thursday morning as the helicopter surveyed the aftermath of the Palisades Fire.
The footage showed several buildings were destroyed at Palisades Charter High School on Bowdoin Street.
"It's hard to describe the destruction down here," ABC7 helicopter reporter Scott Reiff said. "It's just so devastating. I didn't think this was going to happen. We came up over the hill, the smoke cleared, and what we're seeing down here is destruction on a scale that we've never seen anything close to this."
In the hillside area along the coast dotted with celebrity homes, block after block of California Mission Style homes and bungalows were reduced to charred remains. Ornate iron railing wrapped around the smoldering frame of one house.
Roughly 180,000 people are under evacuation orders, and the fires have consumed about 45 square miles - roughly the size of San Francisco. The Palisades Fire is already the most destructive in Los Angeles' history.
