The leading headline on my Apple newsfeed:  Winds fuel wildfires in California as blazes rage across US West.  (The Guardian).

The fires topped my newsfeed yesterday, too.   My feed consists of many outlets on both sides of the aisle.

The news is horrific...for Washington, Oregon and California. It may be the worst we have ever seen. Resources are beyond being tapped out. And the season, sadly, has a ways to go! We hear so little about what the government - state and federal - is doing.

The main stream media is skewing everything right now. Their agenda is clear and unfortunately, people's lives being destroyed by major wildfires does not matter much to them...driving traffic does. That is their main goal. To take the attention away from where it should be and get attention with their continuous, hateful rhetoric.

Our Transaction Coordinator lives in Sherwood, OR. She was forced to evacuate her home today!

Members of our family, who live in Nevada City, Ca. (historic Gold Country) have had their power turned off since Monday midnight to prevent electrical issues that may cause fires. 

Smoke from California fires has made the skies around the Bay Area take on an apocalyptic appearance. I have not seen the sun today because the air is so thick with soot and ashes. Soot and ash can be seen on all exterior surfaces.

Several Western states are experiencing a horrible fire season.

I hope that you and your loved ones are safe, Lynnea Miller

There are many who will suffer great hardship as a result of these fires.
The local and regional governing authorities and social organizations will come to their rescue.

Why the media?  You must be aware that FB and Google filter what I see. They deliver to my screen only what my history shows I want to see. And if that history reveals I care not for any news from the west coast, google and fb are able to feed my echo chamber with what I want to hear.

Of course, if you want those fires to be HEADLINES, everyday, use the Tyranny of the Quantifiable to show the fires have a racist origin.

Then those standing in the smoldering ruins of their dream will really feel betrayed.
It is soul shaking and heartbreaking to have the history of one's life, the evidence of their struggles and victories swept away be horror events. How, in the twinkle of an eye, populations are literally homeless. There can be good emerging from this IF the raging lunatics can be quieted.
Good people will rise up to meet the challenge of need. 
California, Oregon and Washington states may have their own Gander BC revival. (Gander of 9/11 fame)
