Wir beginnen in Los Angeles mit einem Update auf die bewegenden Feuer, die durch die Städte rippen, als Feuerwehrleute weiter versuchen, die Flaschen zu besitzen, während der Todespreis steigt. As of Friday morning, at least five wildfires were still burning across the area, putting some 166,000 residents under evacuation warnings.
That adds to the more than 150,000 residents who have already been forced from their homes due to the fires. The city saw its first glimmer of hope on Friday, as a pause in the fierce winds that have fueled the spread of the infernals helped crews make some progress on bringing the fires under control.
Officials now see the weekend wind lull as their best opportunity to contain the fires, but it, well, frankly remains a race against time, particularly as forecasters warned that strong wind gusts could return on Monday, according to a report from Reuters.
So far, the fires have already burnt through vast sections of Los Angeles neighborhoods on the east and west sides of the city, consuming at least 10,000 structures and killing at least 10 people. Officials warned Friday that those figures are expected to rise significantly once they're able to begin sorting through the charred ruins.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna sagte, Quote, Es sieht aus, als ob eine Atombombe in diesen Bereichen eingefallen wäre. Ich erwarte keine guten Nachrichten, sagte er, und wir freuen uns nicht darauf, diese Zahlen, Ende Quote. Nun, die Windbedingungen fallen um 20 Meilen pro Stunde am Freitagmorgen, mit Wärme zwischen 35 und 50 Meilen pro Stunde.
Während die Bedingungen immer noch gefährlich sind, besonders wegen der niedrigen Humidität und der verdrohten Vegetation, It's a vast improvement from the 80 mph gusts seen over the past few days, which had prevented critical air support for firefighters on the ground.
