ALTADENA, Calif. (KABC) -- AIR7 has been above Altadena and Pasadena, taking a block-by-block look at damage from the Eaton Fire.

On Tuesday, we were able to get the closest aerial footage we've gotten with full Skymap technology.

Last week, ABC7's Gabe Santos described the damage.

"People have said it looks like a hurricane, it looks like a tornado came through, it looks like a bomb went off," he said. "Those are all appropriate descriptions as we kind of go down southbound on Fair Oaks Avenue."

AIR7 was above Altadena and Pasadena on Saturday afternoon, taking a block-by-block look at damage from the Eaton Fire.

While some of the bigger strip malls have been spared, Santos said others are a complete loss.

"I can't find the words right now, it's mind-boggling."
