The Fires Devastating Both Northern and Southern California Are Truly Haunting

Californians are experiencing the harrowing impact of ravaging wildfires in both northern and southern parts of the state, forcing more than 300,000 residents to evacuate. According to The Washington Post, the Camp Fire near the Sierra Nevada foothills is the most destructive wildfire in the state's history - and the third deadliest, claiming 23 lives. As of Nov. 11, the fire is 25% contained but continues to spread due to strong winds.

Meanwhile, the Woolsey and Hill fires devastate California's Ventura County. Evacuations remain in place, as Gov. Jerry Brown requests government aid. President Donald Trump has been met with criticism after he blamed poor forest management for the natural disaster and threatened to withhold funding to the state.
