Due to the raging forest fires in Los Angeles County, California, the scale of destruction exceeds the damage caused by a nuclear strike. The newly elected US President Donald Trump expressed such an opinion.
"The situation is much worse than what you see on TV," Trump said in an interview with Newsmax.
The US leader-elect has suggested that the death toll will rise significantly in the future.
According to meteorologists, the reason for the rapid spread of the fire was the dry and very windy weather.
