About this episode

Tens of thousands of people have had to evacuate, and firefighters are struggling to contain the flames. Adria Kloke is one of the people who has had to flee. She packed up her belongings, along with her cat, and left her home in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday. Kloke shares her story with NPR.
