A night of mass evacuations in Brentwood and Encino and the unnerving view of flames across the city has left Los Angeles on edge on Day 5 of the fire siege that has flattened more than 10,000 structures. “We’re a nervous wreck,” said Sarah Cohen, 29, who lives with her parents in Braemar Country Club Estates, a gated community off Reseda Boulevard. “Every time, they drop water, it gets better. But then it gets worse again.
But the improved weather is expected to deteriorate soon. Gusty Santa Ana winds are expected to return by Saturday night, and a high wind watch was expected to begin at 6 p.m., and forecasters expected to issue wind advisories for at least some of the valleys in Los Angeles and Ventura counties by Sunday morning, as well as along the coast. 'These gusty Santa Ana winds on Saturday will lead to elevated to brief critical fire weather conditions,' the National Weather Service said.
