SCIUTTO: As wildfires rip through California, the conditions about to get even worse there. Hurricane-force winds, strong enough to down power lines and trees expected in Los Angeles. This of course fuel to the fires, literally.</s>HARLOW: The National Weather Service has issued something for the first time ever, and that is an extreme red flag warning. They're predicting winds between 60 and 80 miles an hour, 26 million people could feel the effects of that warning. Our Omar Jimenez is back in Los Angeles with us again this morning. So, what does that mean, Omar, extreme red flag?</s>OMAR JIMENEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, at this point, a normal red flag warning for example means that wind, temperature, humidity, conditions are creating a risk for a fire. Now, the extreme red flag warning -- again, for the first time we're seeing this terminology. Meteorologists just want people to understand the threat, the level of threat we are seeing, and the fact that this has not been reached in at least recent history. Now, part of what they fear in this, let's just start with winds. Well, when you talk about the Getty fire that is still burning, winds have the potential to take these embers far outside containment zones that these firefighters have being working so hard to make and start fires in places there weren't to begin with.
