Watch: Here's why the California fires have been especially deadly

Northern California has been devastated by wildfires, with winds helping spread the blaze across wine country.

Here are some of the numbers:

• Since Sunday, at least 23 people have been killed.
• 3,500 structures have been destroyed by the flames.
• Some 191,000 acres have been affected by the fires.
• Around 8,000 firefighters have been working to contain the disaster.

Glenn talked about why people got so little warning ahead of the fire and how local authorities weren't prepared for an emergency.

"Lives are at stake, and those in charge didn't know what to do," he said.
