The highest level of strong wind warnings was issued amid a ninth day of major wildfires in Los Angeles, the largest city in the western United States, but the wind power was weaker than expected, making it a major crisis.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and L.A. County authorities say the rate of wildfire suppression on the western beaches and the eastern interior has risen, and the spread has subsided by maintaining a similar level of wildfire area.The

U.S. Meteorological Administration has issued a strong wind warning of up to 113 kilometers per hour in the mountains of LA since the 13th, putting authorities and residents on edge, but fortunately, the actual wind power was not as strong.

However, the LA City Fire Department said, "Low humidity and strong winds are making the branches drier, increasing the risk of fire," and stressed, "The risk has not yet passed."

The wildfires have killed 25 people so far, missing 30 and ordered 82,400 residents to evacuate.
