WILD PHOTOS: Cali Fires Bring Doomsday Vibes to Oregon and Yosemite
These photos are a MUST SEE.
The West Coast of the United States is ablaze this week, in an apocalyptic scene centered in California and radiating outward.
These fires have been raging for weeks now, bolstered by unseasonably dry weather and an unfortunately stiff breeze. To make matters worse, the true “fire season” is right around the corner, and will bring even more favorable conditions for these infernos to intensify.
Smoke from these fires has now reached as far as Yosemite National Park and parts of Oregon.

Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias is closed as a precaution in case the #CreekFire crosses into the park. Fire crews are taking preventative measures, as well (historic Mariposa Grove Museum, pictured). Yosemite is open; reservations required.
