Hundreds of people are still missing in massive wildfires which have swept through California killing at least 29 people and damaging thousands of homes, businesses and other buildings. Ash that resembles snow covers streets and houses in Northern California in overhead images that make clear the devastating destruction caused by wildfires that have been ripping through the area since Sunday night- burning through more than 170,000 acres of land. Photos taken on Wednesday show the huge plumes of smoke rising from communities ravaged by the fires across California, which have killed 23 people so far in the north and left nearly 300 unaccounted for as an additional 20,000 across the state have been told to evacuate their homes. Three days after the fires began firefighters were still unable to gain control of the blazes which have left behind apocalyptic scenes, entire neighborhoods reduced to ash, 3,500 homes and businesses completely destroyed, and some of the worst air pollution the area has ever seen. Firefighters started to contain the blazes earlier in the week before gusts of 20 to 40mph winds and extremely dry conditions joined forces on Wednesday, threatening to spread the flames even further. Among the tens of thousands of properties that have been damaged are Napa's wineries, causing wine to flow life a river under smoldered debris after escaping charred barrels. Officials say that 22 fires spanning more than 300 square miles an area equivalent to the size of New York City and still raging http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4972034/Satellite-pictures-capture-scope-California-wildfires.html 1 Like 2 Shares

I thank God that we do not experience this kind of natural disaster here in Nigeria. And at the same time, it makes us dull to the extent of us, not thinking of way forward to make our home a better place . 36 Likes |

Something I love so much about these people is that despite these huge carnage and losses,just give them a few years and the city will be back again to normal as if nothing happened. Only pics and videos will show that something bad once happened there. Good leadership structures,good followership and good institutions are three factors never to be ignored in building a nation. 110 Likes 8 Shares |

This is something else. Sometimes it's hard to appreciate what one has until you leave or lose it. See me thinking of the issues plaguing Nigeria but still walk freely with no natural disaster only human disaster. May God heal them and the land. 21 Likes 1 Share |
