Big Sur, California is Being Totally Evacuated

This morning the latest news is that the entire town of Big Sur must be evacuated. There has been more than 680 square miles of Northern California burned since June 20. The wildfire is out of control and the fire jumped a fire line and is threatening more homes. One guy said the fire is like a big raging animal. There were more than 1,100 wildfires, mostly from lightning, according to last count. When you see the map on the news, it looks like most of California is burning somewhere. They even had fires out at Bakersfield, out in the dessert area. It is a horrendous and terrible thing. Fire is all consuming and its appetite is hard to stop.
