Southern California is experiencing its most devastating winter fires in more than four decades.

Fueled by powerful Santa Ana winds, fierce wildfires around the Los Angeles area have sent residents fleeing from their burning homes.

Santa Anas are warm, dry northeast winds that blow from the interior of Southern California toward the coast, moving in the opposite direction of the normal winds that carry moist air from the Pacific.

Thousands of firefighters have been battling multiple blazes, from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena, just north of Los Angeles, with new fires breaking out in the Hollywood Hills on the evening of January 8.

One of the fires is already the most destructive in Los Angeles history.

By early morning on January 9, more than 1,900 structures had been destroyed and over 130,000 people were under evacuation orders, with five people reported dead.

The fires have already consumed an area of about 110 square kilometers — nearly the size of the entire city of San Francisco.

Fires don't usually blaze at this time of year. But Santa Anas are happening later and later in the year, and this year's winds are much faster than usual — helping the flames spread faster once they ignite.

California had two extremely wet winters that caused lots of plants to grow, followed by a sudden drought that dried them out — which experts say has provided the perfect tinder for the flames.

AccuWeather estimated damage from the latest fires could reach $57 billion, with the weather company's Jonathan Porter saying "it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history."

Among those who have lost their homes are a number of celebrities, including actor Billy Crystal, who lost his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood that he had lived in for 45 years.

Another celebrity who lost his home, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, wrote on Instagram: "Sadly we did lose our home but we are grateful to have survived this truly devastating fire."

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの28回目です。私は最近、鼻水が止まりません。季節が変わるときは、寒暖差アレルギーというアレルギーが出ます。寒暖差アレルギーは、気温の差が7度以上になると出やすいそうです。特に朝と夜がひどいです。寝不足になるのは辛いですが、私はずっと家にいるので、昼に休むことができます。最近のレッスンはだいたい午前中です。

Hello. This is episode 28 of my podcast. I have had a runny nose recently. When the seasons change, I get an allergy called a cold weather allergy. I’m told that cold-weather allergies are more likely to appear when the temperature difference is more than seven degrees Celsius. It is particularly bad in the morning and at night. It is hard for me to sleep, but I am at home all the time, so I can rest during the day. My lessons these days are usually in the morning.

最近また、音楽を作り始めました。私は美術大学に通っていました。入学試験のために二年ぐらいデッサンを勉強しました。音楽や、美術や、スポーツなど、文化的な活動はなんでもそうですが、頭で理解することより、練習を通して経験することが重要です。先生のアドバイスは感覚的な表現が多く、同じ経験がないと理解できないからです。筋肉だけではなく、耳や目なども、活動するためのトレーニングが重要です。

I recently started making music again. I used to go to art college. I studied drawing for about two years for the entrance exam. As with any cultural activity, be it music, art or sports, it is more important to experience it through practice than to understand it in your head. This is because the teacher’s advice is often expressed in sensory terms, which cannot be understood without the same experience. Physical muscle training is important for certain activities. However, training our hearing sense and visual sense is important too.

なので20代のときは、ほとんど毎日絵を描いていました。しかし、それは思っていたより楽しくありませんでした。私は小さい頃から絵を描くことが好きでしたが、絵を描くことで、空想の世界にいることが好きでした。人に絵を見せて褒められることよりも、一人で絵を描いて楽しんでいる時間の方が重要でした。評価にはあまり興味がありませんでした。

So when I was in my twenties, I drew almost every day. But it wasn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. I had loved drawing since I was a little girl, but I loved it because it let me be in my own imaginary world. It was more important to me to spend time alone drawing and having fun than to show my drawings to others and receive compliments. I was not really interested in evaluation.
