Northern California crews battling the country's deadliest wildfire in a century were bracing for strong winds, with gusts up to 50 miles per hour, creating the potential to erode gains they have made in containing a disaster that has killed at least 76 and leveled a town.Even as hundreds of searchers sift through the rubble in the town of Paradise looking for the dead, nearly 1,300 people remain unaccounted for more than a week after the fire sparked in Butte County, Sheriff Kory Honea announced Saturday night. Authorities stressed that the long roster does not mean they believe all those people are missing.Honea pleaded with fire evacuees Saturday to review the list of those reported as unreachable by family and friends and call if they are safe. Deputies have located hundreds of people to date, but the overall number keeps growing because officials are adding names, including those reported as missing during the disaster’s chaotic early hours, Honea said. “With all the people who are suffering right now, it’s really great that he’s coming.”

One opponent of the President, in apparent response to Trump’s repeated suggestion that bad forest management contributed to the Camp Fire, held a sign saying, “Moron, we’re in a drought.”

Gov. The US president was greeted by Governor Jerry Brown and his successor Gavin Newsom, both of whom are Democrats and have sparred with Mr Trump over the wildfires. The Camp Fire is now about 55% contained but fire officials say they may not have it fully under control until the end of the month. “Let’s hope he gets us some help,” said Couch, who voted for Trump and whose house was among more than 9,800 that burned down last week.
