NorCal fires: Melted motorcycles, raining embers
The Northern Californian wildfires are some of the worst in the state’s history. They’ve killed more than 30 people and many are still missing. More than 200,000 acres have been scorched. Winds are spreading the flames, and air quality in the Bay Area is as bad as Beijing’s.
