Video of the Day: Paradise Fire 2008 - submitted by Danica





This was the scene at a local bullfight early this morning. This will not end well! Click to enlarge.






The fires continue to rage. Today's video shows the aftermath of fires that are currently raging in the Paradise, CA area—approximately 45 miles from here. There have been over 4,000 people evacuated thus far, and there is no immediate end in sight. While the Paradise fires are but a few of over 1,000 fires currently raging in California, the proximity of these fires makes them particularly dramatic to local residents. Many have relatives and friends who live in Paradise—many of whom have been displaced from their homes. The ash falling here in Corning this morning looks like a light snowfall. We pray for the victims of the fires and other natural threats throughout our nation. May God shower His mercy upon us all!
