Norte fire burns homes amid Southern California windsAt least six homes burned Friday; authorities reported evacuations and power outages.
- The Norte fire started in San Clemente before winds drove it into San Juan Capistrano.
- More than 500 firefighters battled the blaze after it grew to nearly 3/4 square mile.
- Each city opened an evacuation shelter; thousands were asked to leave, and nine schools closed.
- A separate fire near Camp Pendleton prompted the closure of a section of Interstate 5 Friday.
"This doesn’t usually happen to us, we usually see it on the news," she said. "We always pray to God it’s not us, but yeah, it was today."— Laura Hart, a San Juan Capistrano resident, said during discussion of the wildfire impact on her community.
