Wild fires are leaving the air polluted and as stated above, many homeless.

This current situation does not just affect Californians but it affects allot of other Americans for many many reasons.

I am currently living in Northern California, and although I have not experienced any of these events here, I know alot of people in Southern California near where the incidents in question are taking place. As far as I know none of them are affected, but only time will tell.

Curse. In Dallas it is frakin HOT here. I think it has to do with the LHC and the fires...

Mhmm, there's about 3 huge fires burning as we speak. It happens every year out here. Due to the dry and hot climate you experience in the high deserts, the area is a match waiting for someone to come along and strike it.

2 firefighters have died as a result of the fires. Their truck went off the road after it had become surrounded by flames.

This is amazing. New local fires are springing up everywhere. About an hour ago, I witnessed atleast 3 separate local fires, (all small-scale), in my ex-gf's area. This is getting really bad...

Not to mention the air quality out here. Basically, it's hot and muggy and the air's shitty. I've had about 3 nose bleeds so far, blegh.

I heared on the news that the fires were started on purpose
