Hello everyone I'm Shawn Boyd for OES News we are here in Butte County

specifically the town of Paradise and this was once a neighborhood one of the

many neighborhoods that was completely destroyed by the campfire and in fact

this home here behind me well it's gone and it was once the home of a City

Councilmember that particular City Councilman is

urging those of you who may be staying in tents or in your cars to get to a

shelter. There are shelters open that have room for you but you need to take

advantage of those. "Now I'm fortunate enough that you know we're staying with

family in in Chico but we have five of us in one bedroom but I could never be

more thankful for five people bing in one bedroom." Town Council member Michael Zuccolillo

is back in Paradise surveying the damage. "We are in utter devastation up

here where it's not even safe to be here." The destruction is incomprehensible even

when you see it up close so the thought of living outside with toxic smoke

lingering throughout Butte County and beyond is also confounding.[Anything else?] Shelters are

open and survivors of the campfire are taking advantage don Heaton came here

with her granddaughter Arielle "So so far your experience here at the shelter has

been wonderful

me and her we've made a lot of time we could get everything in I mean I mean I

needed a whole house for that she's been able to get food clothing toiletries and

even wash her clothes in this portable laundromat

there's also mental and spiritual health counseling and medical services

including free flu shots so there's really no reason not to come here

especially with rain in the forecast we have a very well built facility here

it's warm it's clean and it's more importantly it's safe here so anybody

that comes in can be sure that they're going to be safe and we're very welcomed

here we also have another facility that where we're welcoming pets small pets so

anybody that has pets they're able to come in and be here with them as well

but despite all of this there are still people choosing to live in tents it's a

tough situation all around it's not ideal and it sucks I I get it

but it's gonna get you through the next day it's gonna give you a warm place to

sleep it's gonna give you a hot meal in your belly the road to recovery is

beginning yours can start by calling your insurance company to file your

Ohio GOP official called wildfires 'God's punishment' to California - Daily News - Duration: 2:45.

An Ohio Republican Party county chair has expressed partial regret after posting on Facebook that the horrific California fires were 'God's punishment' on liberal Californians

  Columbiana County GOP chair Dave Johnson posted an image of the fiery inferno that killed at least 79, along with a sign saying 'Welcome to hell

'The post also labeled the fires 'Hell on Earth' that was 'brought to you by the Liberals in California!' But the official, whose county is located south of Youngstown and who was a delegat to the 2016 Republican Convention in Cleveland, wrote off the post a 'figure of speech

'  'Look, that's a meme. And it's how I feel about liberals, but did I mean that God is going to punish everyone who lives in California? No

It's a figure of speech, and I probably shouldn't have done it,' he told Cleveland

com.'But I did, and it doesn't change how I feel about what's happened in California,' he said

The paper identified Johnson as an influential members of the state central committee and owner of the Spread Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton

Johnson has campaigned for President Trump, who himself took heat after blaming the fires on 'gross mismanagement' on Twitter

Johnson continued, saying he was sorry if anyone was offended. 'Now to the extent that that meme would have offended or hurt someone in California, yes, that's not the intent, and I don't think that's what it says

But you know, it's in the eyes of the beholder, and so if it offended anyone that had a loss of life, then I'm sorry

That was not my intent, and anybody who knows me knows better,' he added.A county Democratic chair is calling on Johnson to resign

  'I would say that Johnson should be ashamed of himself, but as he and the president he worships have proved time and again, they have no shame,' said David Betras, the Democratic Party chairman in Mahoning County, Ohio, calling the post 'disturbing

California fires death toll rises to 79 as winds threaten efforts to control blaze US news - Duration: 4:02.

California fires death toll rises to 79 as winds threaten efforts to control blaze US news

Strong winds expected to hamper progress for crews battling Camp fire, which is still only 55% contained 10 days after it started

Strong winds expected to hamper progress for crews battling Camp fire, which is still only 55% contained 10 days after it started

Strong winds on Sunday were expected to hamper progress for crews battling California wildfires which have now claimed at least 79 lives.

Gusts of up to 50mph were threatening efforts to control the Camp blaze, which is still only 55% contained 10 days after it brought devastation to northern California.

The fire which destroyed nearly 10,000 homes and has spread across 233 sq miles is already the deadliest American wildfire in a century.

And there are fears that the eventual death toll will rise much higher, with almost 1,300 people still unaccounted for.

However, it seems likely that number of missing persons may be an overestimate amid confusion over the way the list has been compiled.

The Butte county sheriff, Kory Honea, has stressed that the roster has been built up from missing person reports from calls, reports and emails since the fire began on 8 November. He has described it as "raw data" and said "there is the likely possibility that the list contains duplicate names" and some evacuees who have not reported themselves safe.

California's outgoing Democratic governor, Jerry Brown, visited the scene of devastation at the town of Paradise with Donald Trump on Saturday.

He told CBS's Face the Nation that Trump has "got our back" and has committed emergency support.

Trump initially blamed state officials for poor forest management in making the fires in northern and southern California worse and even threatened to cut off federal funding.

At the scene on Saturday, Trump recounted a conversation he had in Paris on 11 November with Finland's president, Sauli Niinistö, who talked about monitoring forest resources with a good surveillance system.

Trump said wildfires weren't a problem in Finland because the Finns "spend a lot of time on raking" leaves and "cleaning and doing things".

But Niinistö, told one of Finland's leading newspapers, Ilta-Sanomat, on Sunday that he never discussed raking with Trump.

"I mentioned [to] him that Finland is a land covered by forests and we also have a good monitoring system and network," Niinistö said, but had no recollection of mentioning raking of leaves or forest undergrowth, which the president appears to have seized on as a key point in wildfire prevention, while dismissing the issue of global warming.

Asked on Saturday whether he thought climate change had a role in the fires, he said "you have a lot of factors". And asked if seeing the devastation changed his mind on climate change, Trump said: "No. No. I have a strong opinion. I want great climate. We're going to have that."

Jerry Brown, in the interview aired on Sunday, said: "Changing climate and the increasing drought and the lower humidity and water vapor" were important factors.

He said: "Managing the forest is part of it. They're a lot denser than they were 200 years ago. But on top of that, we have this five-year drought. We have reduced rainfall. We have the dryness that turns vegetation and bushes and houses and trees into – literally into timber. So it's ready to explode. So there is an atmospheric element which is part of the natural cycle and then there is an increasing effect of climate change."

But asked if he had made that case to Trump, he said: "I certainly raised it but I didn't feel that that was where we needed to go," then added that science would be the guide for analysing the fires "and the president in no way negated that".

The world's leading experts recently warned of pending climate change catastrophe.
