Re: Aftermath of the 2018 California Camp & Woolsey Wildfires
Two days after authorities in Northern California ended their search for human remains from the deadliest wildfire in state history, the number of people listed as missing was reduced on Friday (Nov 30) to fewer than 50, down from the nearly 200 last tallied. The confirmed death toll from the Camp Fire stood unchanged from the past few days at 88, but the newly revised roster of people still unaccounted for came as welcome news three weeks after flames ravaged the Sierra foothills town of Paradise. Recovery teams had finished combing through the ruins of approximately 18,000 homes and other buildings incinerated by the blaze. The missing-persons list then consisted of 196 names, though police said he was hopeful that many individuals would eventually turn up alive as they realized that loved ones were looking for them. Wildfires in California in 2018 released the rough equivalent of about 68 million tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide — about the same amount of carbon emissions as are produced in a year to provide electricity to the state, U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said Friday. The carbon dioxide figure — based on data analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey — is more than 15 percent of all emissions produced by California in a year, according to Zinke. |

Live 65 miles south of Paradise. We had ash on our cars and the worst air quality in the world for a week straight.

The video mentioned is the one with the burnt skeletons in the cars - it is a fascinating glimpse of the fires that is rarely shown.. https://www.documentingreality.com/f...a-fire-192630/ |
