[A wildfire is tearing through the Malibu coastline in Southern California, forcing residents to flee as flames threaten homes and businesses. The Franklin Fire ignited on December 9 and burned through an area larger than five football fields every minute, growing from 100 acres at 11:54 pm to nearly 2,600 acres by noon on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles County Fire and CalFire officials. The fire is so intense that it is altering the local winds and worsening already extreme conditions. The National Weather Service in Los Angeles warned on Tuesday morning that the fire is burning so hot that it is modifying the local winds, bending them towards and into the fire.
