Is the Rose Bowl on fire? Exploring the effect of California fire on the stadium

The Rose Bowl has not been affected by the California wildfires. On Tuesday, fires began in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, resulting in lost homes and at least two deaths, according to the New York Times. The wildfire spread to Eaton Canyon and progressed to areas in Altadena and Pasadena.

The football stadium in Pasadena is under a level-two evacuation warning from the Watch Duty, providing updates regarding the wildfire. It is located northwest of Pasadena and northeast of Altadena.

The U.S. Forest Service describes a level-two evacuation as a "High probability of a need to evacuate."

The wildfires occurred a week after the No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (12-2,) faced the No. 1 Oregon Ducks (13-1) in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1. The Buckeyes won 41-21 to advance to the College Football Playoff semifinals. Quarterback Will Howard completed 17 of 26 passes for 319 yards and three touchdowns.

Another fire began after the wildfires erupted in Eaton Canyon in Sylmar. CBSNews' Emily Mae Czachor reports that it had spread to over 500 acres Tuesday night. People affected by the ongoing weather disaster have shown their destroyed homes. Although it's reported that two people have died, more casualties could've occurred.

"It's been one of the worst wind events": Accuweather expert explains how the wind has affected the wildfires in California

One major issue that has caused the fires to spread is the strong wind. On Wednesday, Accuweather California expert Ken Clark described the wind as the worst in the last decade.

"It's been one of the worst wind events probably in the last decade at least, and you know, I've been forecasting weather in California for 50 years. It's got to be my top two or three at this point that I can remember at least," Clark said (Timestamp: 0:15).

He added that the state was experiencing wind gusts of 90 to 100 miles per hour. Clark also said that the situation worsened because areas affected by wildfires aren't used to dealing with strong winds, and Southern California hasn't had a quarter inch of rain since April.

Although the wind is expected to ease Wednesday night, Clark warned that it may pick back up in the coming days.

"I must stress that they (winds) are not going to die down to nothing. We'll still have wind in the fire areas right on through tomorrow, but they won't be like yesterday or now," Clark said (Timestamp: 2:14).

"The other problem is it looks like two more Santa Ana wind events coming up. One Thursday night and Friday and another one again possible on Sunday. These will be more typical of Santa Ana. They will not be as strong as we have right now, but it's more wind and more wind we really don't want."

The Rose Bowl is safe for now, but the strong wind and fires can still endanger the venue.
