Quote: "Ten people have died — seven in Sonoma County, one in Mendocino County and two in Napa County. More than 100 people were being treated at Napa- and Sonoma-area hospitals for fire-related injuries or health issues including burns, smoke inhalation and shortness of breath. An estimated 1,500 structures have been destroyed and 57,000 acres burned in eight counties. A wildfire in Anaheim, in Southern California, has spread to 4,000-5,000 acres and burned at least six buildings."
Quote: "Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma and Yuba counties. Smoke was thick in San Francisco, 60 miles south of the Sonoma County fire. John Dean was driving to his Sonoma County home early Monday when he saw a house on fire along the road. Soon he saw more houses engulfed in flames. 'I mean blazing, falling down on fire,' he said."
Quote: "The fires throughout the region were among the deadliest in California history, and fire officials expected the number of fatalities to increase."

The area burned so far in Napa and Sonoma is three times larger than Washington, D.C. The fires torched 20,000 acres in about 12 hours on Monday alone. This means the fires advanced at a rate of more than a football field every three seconds."
Quote: "Nearly 35,000 are without power throughout the state. Around 2,000 homes and businesses were destroyed."
Quote: "The entire American West has experienced a particularly brutal wildfire season, even as people in the Southeast have suffered the floods and winds of hurricanes. As of Oct. 6, wildfires had raced through 8.5 million acres, well above the last decade’s average of six million per year."

Quote: "The raging, out-of-control wildfires across Northern California have now killed at least 31 people, marking the deadliest week of wildfires in state history, officials said late Thursday. Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano said Thursday night that two more people have been confirmed dead there. That raises the statewide death total from 29 to 31. While no one fire currently burning has killed that many, collectively this is the deadliest series of simultaneous fires in the state since records have been kept."
Quote: "California's deadly wildfires have claimed the home of 'Peanuts' creator Charles Schulz but his widow has escaped the flames."

Quote: "The long and brutal 2017 wildfire season is stressing the state and federal agencies that have to pay for the army of ground crews and machinery required to fight them. The federal government spent more than $2.7 billion on firefighting in its most recently finished budget year, a record that far surpassed the previous high point of $2.1 billion set just two years ago."

Quote: "Late season wildfires that broke out over the weekend in Portugal have killed at least 35 people, including a 1-month-old infant, authorities said Monday, making 2017 by far the deadliest year on record for forest blazes in the country. In neighboring Spain, wildfires have also killed at least four people and prompted the evacuation of thousands in the northwest region of Galicia, as the remnants of winds from Hurricane Ophelia fanned the flames along Iberia's Atlantic coast. The fires returned to Portugal four months after a summer blaze claimed 64 lives in one night. The year's current total of 99 deaths is far higher than the previous annual record of 25, in 1966."
Note: Same exact scenario as in California, with high winds blowing off the ocean onto the western coast of the land mass followed by devastating fires...
