CALIFORNIA ON FIRE
Believe it or not, but this is downtown
San Francisco, on the Embarcadero,
10:30am Thursday morning.
California is devastated by 28 separate
and major wildfires, making this the
worst fire in the state's history.
The air is orange throughout the Bay Area, and
especially dangerous up through Washington state,
displacing 64,000 residents thus far.
300,000 acres of forest and timberland
have been destroyed thus far,
with whole towns up in flames.
Climate change is widely attributed
to these dry and windy conditions,
with no relief in sight.
The toll to wildlife and residents won't
be known until the fires subside.
God bless all who have lost their homes,
and to the firefighters who bravely
battle this blaze.
