Hey friends, have you heard about the big wildfires happening in California? 🔥 For the past two days, huge fires have been blazing around Los Angeles, which is a really big city on the west coast of the United States.
These wildfires have been super strong, and unfortunately, at least 10 people have lost their lives. That’s really sad. 😢 The fires have also destroyed almost 2,000 homes and buildings, which means many people have lost their houses and belongings.
Because of the danger, more than 130,000 people had to leave their homes to stay safe. Imagine having to pack your things quickly and go somewhere else! That’s a lot of people, almost like filling up a big sports stadium twice!
The firefighters, who are the brave men and women who fight fires, have been working really hard. They stayed up all night trying to stop the fires from spreading. But the winds were super strong, with gusts up to 100 miles per hour! 💨 That’s faster than cars drive on the highway!
These strong winds made the fires spread quickly, and three major wildfires started in Los Angeles County. Everyone is hoping that the firefighters can control the fires soon, and that everyone stays safe.
If you know anyone in California, send them your good thoughts! And remember, if there’s ever a fire, always listen to the adults and stay safe! ❤️
