Landscape that outgoing American president Joe Biden likened “war scene”, to “bombed” zone. Despite the massive mobilisation of firefighters, the flames continued to spread, sparking new orders for accelerated removal of residents on the east side and in the Pacific Palisades sector, especially in the Getty Center area. Made partly of fire resistant materials, especially stones, the famous museum hosts 125,000 works of art. The Los Angeles Pacific Palisades firmes have turned one of the most expensive, beautiful and iconic cities in the world into an apocalypse zone Somehow, Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass Still have jobs Someone make it sense ADVERSION — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) Winds, which had begun to fade on Friday, were to regain their power since last Saturday night, warned the US federal agency for dealing with natural disasters (FEMA). “These winds, combined with the dry atmosphere and dry vegetation, will keep the fire threat in Los Angeles County at a high level,” stressed Anthony Maroni, head of the Los Angeles County Fire Corps. Footage from the air in the Madville Canyon area depict houses in flames and a fiery wall licking the hillside. Although it is still early to make safe estimates of the causes of the fires, criticisms multiply, especially about the level of preparation and the response of authorities. Los Angeles looks like an apocalypse — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) Los Angeles fire department chief Christine Crowley reported to KTTV television station, part of Fox News’ national network, deficiencies in “personal, media and capital”, not even much to denounce the municipality that it “abandoned” firefighters. Statements many have taken as an attack on municipal authorities. During a press conference yesterday, with Mrs Crowley present, the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, downgraded the tensions, however, confirming that local political leadership, direct assistance services, emergency and security services are “all at the same wavelength”. Mexico’s president, Claudia Shanebaum, announced yesterday that her country sends “a team to support Los Angeles in the fight with fires”. It still is kinda blowing my mind that this is the current situation with the Los Angeles firmes and the only thing Democratic leaders in charge of the state can do is blame Donald Trump and climate change Even after cutting funding and giving it toillegals its Still Trump’s foul — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) In front of the lootings that multiplied in fire-fighting areas and districts where an accelerated evacuation of civilians was ordered, a curfew was imposed from 18:00 to 06:00 (local hours) in the Pacific Palisades and Altatina areas the other day.

Los Angeles looks like a sci-fi Movie. — Tiffany Fong (@TiffanyFong_) The main fire, which hit the suburb of Pacific Palisades, had only been contained by 11% yesterday Saturday and spread in an eastern direction after making ashes an area of some 91,000 acres, while the so-called fire Eton was limited by 15%, according to the fire department. In addition to the 16 dead, the authorities reported 13 missing persons and did not hide fear that the victims’ account was even heavier. Among those who saw their homes turned to ashes was actor and director Mel Gibson, who told NewsNation devastated because his house was destroyed in Malibu, as well as the years-old NBA player, the US professional basketball league, today coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, J.J. Reddick. According to Nicole Perry, whose house was burned down in Pacific Palisades, he denounced to the French Agency that authorities “completely abandoned” residents. In various areas of the vast Californian city, hundreds of thousands of people were invited to leave their homes — sometimes by accident. Californians are invited to save on water: reservoirs that feed fire hydrants and pumps are emptied because of the fires. The health authorities also warned residents yesterday against the health risks posed by fire smoke, urging them to avoid going out. Continued fires may prove the most expensive in American history. AccuWeather estimates that damage will have value ranging from $135 billion to $150 billion. Hot and dry winds, known as Santa Ana, are common during Californian winter. But this week, their intensity was the highest since 2011, according to meteorologists. This is a true nightmare for firefighters, as California, after two quite rainy years, is now hit by abnormally dry winter, no rains have been recorded in practice for eight months. Scientists have not stopped warning that climate change will make increasingly frequent weather phenomena that are characterised as extreme and multiply so-called natural disasters.
