Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”
Important Takeaways:
- A disastrous ‘megaflood’ flood in sunny and dry California? It’s happened before
- While intense droughts, wildfires and earthquakes are typically the main concern across the West, the study released Friday warned of another crisis looming in California: “Megafloods.”
- California has experienced severe floods throughout the 20th Century, including in 1969, 1986, and 1997. But a flood from farther in the past – the Great Flood of 1862 – is being eyed by researchers as the threat to California grows by the day.
- In fact, the UCLA researchers studying “megafloods” say such storms typically happen every 100-200 years.
- The Great Flood of 1862 would be much worse if it happened today
- The region that was underwater in 1862 is now home to many more people than it was then — it’s home to some of California’s fastest-growing cities including Bakersfield and Sacramento.
- Back then, the state’s population was about 500,000, but today it’s nearly 40 million.
- The resulting disaster would cause an estimated $1 trillion in damage, the biggest disaster in world history, they say.

Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”
Important Takeaways:
- Thousands of dead fish are washing up along a California river. It’s because of a massive wildfire and flash floods, the Karuk Tribe says
- “Tens of thousands” of dead fish have washed up along the Klamath River in the area of Happy Camp in northern California this week — a phenomenon that’s tied to a dangerous combination of flash flooding and the McKinney Fire that’s burning in the area
- The blaze, which has killed at least four people, erupted on July 29 in the Klamath National Forest near the Oregon border. It’s the largest wildfire in California so far this year.
- Meanwhile, intense thunderstorms and heavy rains that rolled through the region this week prompted a flash flood warning for Klamath River from the National Weather Service on Tuesday. Officials warned that areas that had been burned by the wildfire were at higher risk of floods and mudflows — because of the lack of vegetation that would have otherwise been there to help absorb the water.
- According to a news release from the Karuk Tribe, “We know the dissolved oxygen in the river plummeted two nights in a row as these pulses of mud hit the main stem of the river, so it is very clear to us that we had a high intensity fire and then we had a flash flooding event kind of come behind the fire and it just rushed ash and debris and mud into the river,”
- “Virtually everything in the river died,” he said, adding that they don’t yet know for how many miles of the river the dead fish stretch as the area is still largely restricted because of the blaze.

Revelation 16:9 “They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory.”
Important Takeaways:
- Western flames spread, California sees its largest 2022 fire
- The McKinney Fire was burning out of control in Northern California’s Klamath National Forest, with expected thunderstorms a big concern
- “The fuel beds are so dry and they can just erupt from that lightning,” Freeman said. “These thunder cells come with gusty erratic winds that can blow fire in every direction.”
- The blaze exploded in size to more than 80 square miles (207 square km) just two days after erupting in a largely unpopulated area of Siskiyou County
- The cause was under investigation.
- California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday as the McKinney Fire intensified.
- A second, smaller fire just to the west that was sparked by dry lightning Saturday threatened the tiny town of Seiad
- A third fire, which was on the southwest end of the McKinney blaze, prompted evacuation orders for around 500 homes
- The McKinney fire “remains 0% contained,” the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office said
- In northwest Montana, a fire sparked in grasslands near the town of Elmo had grown to about 17 square miles (44 square km) after advancing into forest
- In Idaho, the Moose Fire in the Salmon-Challis National Forest has burned on more than 75 square miles (196 square km) in timbered land near the town of Salmon. It was 21% contained by Sunday morning

- Photos and video footage from the stricken region – a rural landscape home to nearly 18,000 – show the destruction left by the fast-moving inferno
- The fire has since spread east at a rapid rate, putting pressure on officials to contain the out-of-control flames
- At least 10 structures have been destroyed thus far, California fire officials said Sunday, and five heavily damaged – with another 2,000 still at risk

Important Takeaways:
- Bill that would create legal drug injection sites in California advances in state Legislature
- California moved a step closer Wednesday to creating sites where people could legally use drugs under supervision designed to save them from dying if they overdose, over the objections of opponents who said the state would be enabling dangerous and illegal activity.
- The full Assembly will now consider allowing test programs in Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco, more than a year after the proposal narrowly passed the state Senate.
- Safe injection sites may not be a perfect solution, Jones-Sawyer said, but “we need to go ahead and try something new.”
- California would be “creating an enabling program that enables people to continue to do what is very damaging and destructive, not only to themselves but to the public at large,” said Republican Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto. The goal, he said, should be to “get them off of drugs and get them out of this dependency” instead of allowing it.
