California Fires!!
Wow! California is burning again....so, so sad 
Neil Young took President Trump to task for his misleading claim that poor forest management was to blame for the fires. “As a matter of fact this is not a forest fire that rages on as I write this,” Young wrote. “We are vulnerable because of climate change.”
Neil Young and Miley Cyrus are among the celebrities that have lost their homes due to the fires!!

Re: California Fires!!
over 600 missing! I'm sure a number of them fled the fire and just haven't "checked in" with anyone yet, so they're on the missing list. Still too many. I heard one commentator say they were sifting thru the rubble and then had to determine if bones they find are human or not. heart breaking.

Re: California Fires!!
Update!
(CNN)After more than two weeks of a raging inferno, firefighters are getting closer to containing the Camp Fire that has killed 84 people in Northern California.
At least 475 people remain unaccounted for, down from more than 1,000 days earlier, the Butte County Sheriff's Office said.
California's deadliest wildfire, which started November 8, remained 95% contained after rain helped firefighters extinguish some of the hot spots, Cal Fire, the state's forestry and fire protection agency, said Saturday morning.
"The fire line that remains uncontained is located in steep and rugged terrain where it is unsafe for firefighters to access due to the heavy rains," Cal Fire said. Firefighters continue to monitor the area and will reassess when it's safe.

Re: California Fires!!
It's already considered the state's deadliest fire.
After two and a half weeks of historic destruction, the Camp Fire in Northern California is 100% contained, but the search for remains threatens to push the death toll over 85, where it stood early Sunday.
Officials found two bodies in Paradise and another in Magalia, both of which sit just west of the Plumas National Forest, roughly 100 miles north of Sacramento.

Re: California Fires!!
California wildfires death toll climbs to 87, almost 500 still unaccounted for originally appeared on abcnews.go.com
Hundreds of people remain missing in the wake of a pair of deadly wildfires that have been burning across both ends of California.
The two monstrous blazes, which both ignited earlier this month, have claimed at least 87 lives while laying waste to a total area of nearly 400 square miles, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Officials said that the remains of at least 54 people have been positively identified so far
