Los Angeles, the opinion of the experts
An explanation for the phenomenon is given by Daniel Swain, a climate change scholar at the University of California, who claims that this summer period will be characterized by this phenomenon. While local authorities explain that the complexity of the phenomenon has been increased by presence of strong winds which made it difficult to make precise the direction of the water jets coming from the airplanes. The situation, which has not yet been resolved, is strongly contrasted by the presence of other areas where the flames arise. It is expected that it will take quite some time to get it under control.
The damage and fires that don’t stop
The inevitable damage is already starting to be counted. The toll is tragic. In addition to the several hectares of greenery, the fire affected a couple of buildings, a cloister and a leisure centre. The situation, although out of control and not yet resolved, fortunately has not reached the homes.
