CALIFORNIA -- Nature's revenge -- though safe at the moment, horses seem stressed and reckless: They gallop in an enclosure at Swanhill Farms as the Mountain Fire burns in Moorpark, Calif., on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024. As of Friday, Southern California firefighters have made progress against the wildfire that ignited on Wednesday and destroyed 132 structures, mostly homes, and damaged at least 88 other buildings. Worsening the wildfire's spread were fierce wind gusts that, only on Friday, began to abate and allow for firefighting.
