| Megathread: California Wildfires Posted: 12 Oct 2017 06:27 PM PDT The California wildfires are an ongoing disaster and this thread will serve as the central discussion place as things continue to unfold. Here's what we know right now (Thursday, Oct 12 at 6pm PST). The fires have burned through nearly 200,000 acres, destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, and killed at least 31 people. Hundreds are injured and more than 400 are missing. That makes this one of the deadliest wildfires in California history. Conditions remain dry and many fires are not contained.
Here are some useful resources for staying informed as things continue to develop:
