One of the biggest wildfires in Los Angeles history.

Record high temperatures at dozens of locations around California.

And a bizarre “microburst” in Santa Barbara.

It was a wild weather weekend in California.

In Los Angeles, firefighters battled a blaze that swept through 11 square miles in the Verdugo Mountains. It burned four homes, forced hundreds of residents to flee and prompted an emergency declaration from the governor.

By Monday, fire officials said it was brought mostly under control.

Across California, thousands of firefighters were combating at least 15 large blazes — including one that breached a grove of giant sequoias near Yosemite.
