Wildfires continue to sweep across the western U.S., destroying homes, structures and businesses. There are currently 70 active, large wildfires burning across 14 states — engulfing about 1.6 million acres, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. This includes 10 large fires that were reported yesterday: three in Washington, two each in Montana, Oregon and Texas, and one in Idaho.
In Northern California, the McKinney Fire has burned more than 55,000 acres, making it the largest wildfire in the state this year. It has destroyed 100 homes, sheds and other buildings, and forecasters warn that weather conditions are prime for it to grow.
Critical fire weather with dry and very windy conditions in parts of the Northwest, Great Basin and Northern Rockies areas will increase the potential for more wildfires. 2022 has brought another intense above-normal wildfire season with drought and climate change conditions continuing to heighten the threat in years to come.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit near the resort city of Acapulco in southwestern Guerrero state on September 7. It affected areas hundreds of miles away, including Mexico City. Following the quake, 92 aftershocks were reported, including one that measured 5.2 magnitude.
As of Tuesday night, around 1.6 million people were without power across five states in Mexico. There was damage to phone lines and electrical wiring along with some blackouts reported in Tlatelolco.
The majority of damage impacted wall and floor coverings, windows and signage. In Guerrero, there were reports of structural damage to older buildings, fallen utility poles and the collapse of a church façade. There have been no reports of severe damage.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit northern Luzon Wednesday morning, impacting more than 21,000 people in more than 200 towns in 15 provinces. It was felt as far as 400 kilometers away in the capital Manila.
Wide-spread damage has been reported to hundreds of homes, dozens of schools and several hospitals and bridges. The quake also triggered 58 reported landslides and shut down railway services. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said citizens should brace for aftershocks, but has not issued a tsunami warning because the quake was detected inland.
