Sludge avalanches according to fire chaos: Los Angeles under water!

In the side valleys and districts, which were recently hit by violent fires, streets were buried under mud masses on Thursday evening (local time). The fire brigade warns of the increased danger of mudslides in the affected regions, especially in the Pacific Palisades district, where evacuation orders for up to 1,000 people were pronounced, Krone .

The storm has additionally tightened the situation in Los Angeles, which is already contaminated by the devastating "Palisades" and "Eaton" fires. These fire, which broke out in early January, destroyed over 16,200 buildings and demanded 29 fatalities. A fire engine was pushed into the sea by a mudslide in the coastal town of Malibu, but the driver was able to save himself with minor injuries.

The indictment against one person was initially dropped while negotiating with a second person. The alleged publication of a suspect by a security app proved to be problematic and could lead to dangerous situations. Despite mild weather, the risk of fire is still high due to persistent drought and strong winds that burden California. Experts warn that the state's vegetation has already reached the highest degree of drought, which increases the risk of new fire.
