Fire crews in Los Angeles are still battling two large fires and two smaller ones, bracing for more possible destruction.
The Palisades Fire, burning between Santa Monica and Malibu on the city’s west side, has burned more than 23,000 acres and is among the most destructive in California history.
At least 24 people have died in the fires and another 23 are missing in the Eaton and Palisades fire zones, while more than 90,000 are under evacuation orders.
There are residents preparation for further destruction as weather forecasts indicate that the winds that fueled the flames could rekindle.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said “urgent preparations” are underway for near-hurricane-force winds expected on Tuesday.
President Biden said it will cost tens of billions of dollars to rebuild parts of the city that burned during nearly a week of wildfires.
