On Sunday, American meteorologists again warn of strong gusts of wind in the city of Los Angeles, which has been plagued by large-scale fires for several days. TASR informs on the basis of AP and DPA reports.

The American Meteorological Service warned of strong winds, which are expected to blow at a speed of 80 kilometers by Wednesday, but in gusts they can reach a speed of up to 113 kilometers per hour, AP writes. According to meteorologists, Tuesday will be the most dangerous day. The flames have claimed 16 lives so far, at least another 16 people are missing, reports AP.

The authorities fear a further possible increase in the number of victims. The reason is the delay caused by the flames, which make it impossible for the rescue services to enter the areas safely, which can be up to several days, writes DPA.

The flames damaged or completely destroyed approximately 12,300 buildings, writes DPA with reference to the California fire department. Since Tuesday, according to the agency, they have destroyed almost 163 square kilometers, which is an area almost equivalent to the American metropolis Washington DC

California Governor Gavin Newsom called the fire potentially the worst natural disaster in US history. “I think it will be in terms of the costs of its liquidation, the damage done and the area of ​​the destroyed area,” said the governor.

US President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday intensified his criticism of the state of California’s handling of wildfires around the city of Los Angeles, while the governor there called on him to personally come and see the damage. TASR informs about it according to a report of the AFP news agency.

“The LA fires are still raging. Incompetent politicians have no idea how to extinguish them. This is one of the worst disasters in our country’s history. They simply cannot put out fires. What’s wrong with them?” Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.

Newsom, who has long been the target of Trump’s criticism, objected to this in an interview with the NBC station, but at the same time offered Trump a conciliatory gesture. “We would spend another month reacting to Donald Trump’s insults. Every elected official with whom he disagrees knows this very well,” he said. However, the governor added: “I invited him to come here and see for himself. We want to do this in the spirit of an open hand, not a closed fist. He’s the president-elect.”

Trump often clashes with Newsom, who is considered a possible Democratic candidate for the post of US president in 2028
