  Economic loss from LA wildfires may reach $150B

Total damage from the devastating wildfires scorching Southern California could amount to between $135 billion to $150 billion, according to AccuWeather, a private company specializing in weather data, AzVision.az reports, citing NewsNation.

The wildfires were previously estimated to cost around $50 billion, $10 billion of which is expected to be insured, according to JPMorgan.

As homeowners try to recover from the fires, they could face challenges. Many homeowners in California have already experienced difficulty getting insurance, and some have had their insurance canceled.

Last summer in Pacific Palisades, 70% of State Farm customers, about 1,600 homeowners, lost coverage when the insurer dropped policies in and around the Santa Monica mountains.
