Came back this morning and gone. Just absolute. It's the further you go up, it's just an absolute wasteland. It's just stunned, shocked, speechless.

So these items weren't in the apartment, but they were in the parking area. What were able to grab from the apartment,

if anything? We weren't able to grab anything. Everything's burnt to the ground. This is the only

thing we could manage to find and salvage. I've never seen nothing like this before, like from the

smell to even how the sun is red. It's the worst thing I've seen look like a bomb just went off over here.

Like that's the only way I could describe it.

More harrowing stories from survivors of the wildfires in Southern California.

We're going to bring you a live report from one of the hardest hit areas, as well as the latest forecast, straight ahead

right here on Morning Joe. Good morning and welcome to Morning Joe. It's Friday, January 10th,

along with Joe, Willie and me. We have the co-host of our fourth hour, Jonathan Lemire,

investigations reporter for the Washington Post. Jackie Alamaneer and staff writer for the

Atlantic ranked for. Allomeneani. So, I want to...

Happy Friday, everybody.

Happy Friday.

What a week.

If we can even say that with just the healthscape in Los Angeles.

You know, because of the proximity of where I lived in Pensacola, Florida, I was over in Louisiana,

Mississippi, every day at Katrina. And I've got to say, there are a lot of parallels here.

Aren't there? They're really, and we don't know, we don't know the exact causes for the complete failure of government to be able to protect these homes.

I don't think we can say it's the smelt alone.
