As the third day of the Los Angeles Wildfires raged on, a better sense of the devastation and toll became clear.

Early estimates from Accuweather are estimating that the damage done across all the fires could range as high as $150 billion.

“This is already one of the worst wildfires in California history. Should a large number of additional structures be burned in the coming days, it may become the worst wildfire in modern California history based on the number of structures burned and economic loss,” AccuWeather chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter said in a press release.
