Or in quel tempo sorgerà Michele, il gran principe, che vigila sui figli del tuo popolo. Vi sarà un tempo di angoscia, come non c'era mai stato dal sorgere delle nazioni fino a quel tempo; in quel tempo sarà salvato il tuo popolo, chiunque si troverà scritto nel libro.
June 2016 – CALIFORNIA – Firefighters
worked into early Friday morning to try to contain a growing wildfire
in coastal Southern California and a larger blaze in rural New Mexico as
hot weather fed flames that triggered hundreds of evacuations. The
Sherpa Fire in California grew to about 1,400 acres (560 hectares)
overnight after forcing authorities to evacuate 400 homes and businesses
and to close part of the 101 Freeway, according to the Santa Barbara
County Sheriff’s Office and fire information center InciWeb.
About 1,200 firefighters were trying to
keep the fire from exploding out of control as airplane tankers and
helicopters dropped water, according to officials and online videos. The
blaze, which ignited on Wednesday in a wilderness area northwest of
Santa Barbara, has consumed chaparral and tall grass in the Los Padres
National Forest, according to InciWeb. Because of the fire, officials
said they had closed two state beaches and some ranch land, forcing out
campers and horses. Southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Dog Head
Fire, which broke out on Tuesday about 6 miles (10 km) northwest of the
town of Tajique, has also forced evacuations and grown to about 16,000
acres (6,500 hectares) overnight.
Governor Susana Martinez declared a
state of emergency and ordered the state’s National Guard to be prepared
to assist if needed, according to a statement from her office. The fire
destroyed 24 homes and 21 other structures, InciWeb said. The blaze has
burned through timber in central New Mexico, pushing heavy smoke toward
cities more than 100 miles (160 km) away as flames spread through a
largely unpopulated area, state fire information officer Peter D’Aquanni
said in a phone interview on Thursday. D’Aquanni said winds could shift
the flames to the east as more than 600 firefighters tackle the blaze.
Torrance County Sheriff Heath White
said on Thursday that his office was evacuating about 200 people. The
National Weather Service on Friday predicted dry, windy and hot weather
for the region through next week, which could lead to more wildfires.
The weather service issued excessive heat warnings for areas in the U.S.
Southwest, including California, Nevada and Arizona and New Mexico. Its
forecast office in Phoenix predicted temperatures as high as 119
degrees Fahrenheit (48.3 Celsius) in the coming days, which would exceed
record highs. –Reuters
