January 10, Fineko/abc.az. As of Thursday, 5 people died in fires, hundreds of houses burned down, more than 100,000 people were called to evacuate, and over 400,000 consumers were left without electricity.

ABC.AZ informs that areas of southern California, including Los Angeles, are disconnected from power.

Specialists are unable to quickly establish energy supply, as conditions for restoration of energy infrastructure are unsafe.

Yesterday, Pacific Coast Highway, the main highway to Los Angeles, was blocked by fire, and police ordered residents to abandon cars and flee on foot from the advancing elements.
