The CNN website had top of page coverage last night. Our American western
wildfires seem to rage on in the same way but don't typically hit cities,
although Ft. Huachuca Army base in Sierra Vista AZ was evacuated last summer
due to impending wildfires.
Very sad news. So many displaced, badly injured and left with nothing.
Nature's warzone.
I was surprised how little visual information was on the Oz website. CNN had
more photographs, and videos for subscribers.
