The Los Angeles fire death toll has skyrocketed to 24 as shocking warnings about hellish weather conditions have taken center stage.
Sources from local media outlets spoke about how the raging infernos could last for three more days.
As per meteorologists, residents were warned that life-threatening winds reached 70mph will start picking up the pace during the later hours of Sunday.
This will last through Wednesday and increases the risk for fires to spread even a longer distance across the southern part of California.
The general duration for this is not looking great right now, the chief meteorologist Rose Schoenfield warned.
This weather warning also stops locals from returning back home to inspect the damage that has arisen and also makes it all the harder for first responders to sift through ask and debris. It’s hard to find people who still are trapped or remain unaccounted for, authorities shared.
Four fires ended up burning more than 40,000 acres across LA’s most affluent locations, including some top-of-the-line A-list celebrity residences and restaurants known as fancy hotspots.
Among those include 12,300 structures that were wiped out as a whole. As per the LA medical examiner, the death count during the afternoon hours on Sunday hit 24 due to the fires.
Dozens are still missing and many of those evacuated are facing anxiety about returning home to see if anything remains.
Cadaver dogs were also brought to locate human remains as the sheriff warned how the death toll would continue to rise.
