Strašni požari u Los Angelesu usmrtili najmanje 5 osoba: "Evakuirano 100 tisuća građana!"

Uništeno je na stotine domova i iscrpljeni su resursi za gašenje požara i zalihe vode do krajnjih granica.

Jaki vjetrovi ometaju operacije gašenja požara i raspiruju požare koji neometano bukte otkako su izbili,a vatra je zahvatila i Hollywood Hills.

- Suočavamo se s povijesnom prirodnom katastrofom. I mislim da se to ne može dovoljno snažno izjaviti - rekao je Kevin McGowan, direktor upravljanja hitnim situacijama za okrug Los Angeles, na konferenciji za novinare.

Legendarni Sunset Boulevard u Los Angelesu ostao je u ruševinama nakon požara u Pacific Palisadesu, navode očevici, a glavna prometnica koja prolazi kroz Beverly Hills i West Hollywood izgledala je kao da je eksplodirala bomba, javlja Los Angeles Times.
