Tyra Banks is among the thousands of people in Los Angeles who have been impacted by the still-active wildfires that have swept through the area, but she’s thankful that most of her cherished mementoes weren’t lost in the fire.

Somini Sengupta, a climate reporter who has lived across Los Angeles, reflects on the city, its mythology and its reckoning with disaster.

Forecasters warn that dangerous winds will buffet Southern California for at least two more days as new wildfires broke out and a pair of major Los Angeles-area blazes burned for a third week.
