Southern California residents are facing dire new wildfire warnings and power shutoffs while they prepare to flee at a moment's notice as fire-fueling winds blasted across the scarred landscape.

Millions of people across Southern California faced frightening new wildfire warnings Tuesday and tens of thousands saw their power shut off as strong winds blew across the parched landscape around Los Angeles where two massive blazes have been burning for a week.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to speed up the process for debris removal following the deadly wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

As deadly wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles, a Republican congressman from Texas says federal lawmakers will consider tying relief funding for California to policy changes in the state.

House Speaker Mike Johnson called for "conditions" Monday on any federal fire aid to California, as he accused state and local leaders of being "derelict in their duty" as the wildfires have killed at least 24.
