California’s Dixie Fire explodes to area bigger than NYC
NY Post
A “perfect storm” of conditions allowed the California wildfire that destroyed a Gold Rush town this week to explode, scorching 100,000 more acres in the past day, after it was predicted to slow down Friday.
The Dixie Fire is now the third largest wildfire ever in the state’s history, engulfing 679 square miles — an area larger than New York City — and is threatening nearly 14,000 buildings across four counties, The Los Angeles Times reported. At least 8 people are missing, including five from Greenville, the community of about 1,000 that was incinerated on Wednesday evening. No injuries or deaths have been reported, according to The Associated Press.More Related News

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
