Recently, 13 more people have been found dead, added to the 31 already deceased people, that died from the massive fires in California. In total, the death rate is an extreme 44 which makes this wildfire the deadliest in California’s history. Wins that blow at almost hurricane speed continue to put people’s lives at risks, destroy their houses, and potentially kill them. State regulators in California are still trying to find the cause for these devastating fires, but so far have come to no avail. Others, are still searching bodies of around 100 missing people trying to rescue them as soon as possible.
This article was written by Holly Yan, Susannah Culinane, and Emanuella Grinberg on Monday November 12. Previously, I had known a lot about the wildfire, but I did not know facts such as that it was the most deadly wildfire in the state’s history or that it killed 44 people. The way this article relates to US History is that recently we have been having multiple hurricanes and we had other wildfires around two years back and these seem to be happening more often than anyones liking. This reminds me of the Dust Bowl, being that it was such an impactful and deadly even that was caused by humans.

I love your comparison of these recurring events to the dust bowl, another natural phenomenon that greatly impacted the environment of those states. I believe this event bears a striking mark of the growing threat of water shortages and drought soon to be felt worldwide.
