A wildfire named the SoDo fire has erupted in Southern California, covering 30 acres and is currently 20% contained. The fire is fueled by the Four Corners high pressure system, which is causing low humidity and strong winds, creating challenging conditions for firefighters. Evacuations are underway in Southern California's Hupa Valley, located 50 miles east of Los Angeles, as homes and businesses are threatened by the flames. Firefighters are working through the night using heavy machinery to contain the blaze, which is approaching a high school. Red flag and wind alerts are in place due to Santa Ana winds reaching up to 71 mph. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and critical fire danger persists in the Santa Monica Mountains. Additionally, dangerous fog is affecting travel in several states, including Louisiana, Texas, and Georgia, with visibility reduced to near zero in some areas. Flood watches are also in effect from Memphis to north of Nashville, with potential for strong storms.
