【彭博】-- 洛杉磯和南加州其他地區面臨連續第二周的強風，火勢愈演愈烈，不僅人的生命受到威脅，房屋、商業和文化地標正在被摧毀中。 美國風暴預報中心預計，隨著風力達到熱帶風暴級別，周一和周二洛杉磯周邊2,267平方英里（5,872平方公里）的區域將出現極端火災，周三前約有900萬人處於緊急狀態。 大風將限制消防員從地面和空中撲滅Palisades和Eaton大火的機會。Pacific Palisades和Altadena地區的大火已造成至少24人死亡，燒毀了超過40,000英畝土地上的12,000多棟建築。 美國天氣預報中心高級預報員Bob Oravec表示，「沒有下雨的可能，而且風力正在增強，雖然個別日子可能會有所不同，但火災天氣的危險仍然很高」。 截至周一凌晨，Eaton火勢得到27%的控制，Palisades火勢控制了13%。 原文標題Los Angeles Braces for More Firestorms as Death Toll Hits 24 --聯合報導 Lauren Rosenthal、Mary Hui、Laura Curtis、Janine...
