California Fire Leaves Many Homes Stranded And Helpless

-


By Okechukwu Okugo

In Kern County near Bakersfield, forest fire has wrecked havoc leaving many people in its wake, homeless and stranded.
Thousands were left without electricity, with at least 200 houses destroyed and 2 people dying from the result of the inferno, according to ABC News, Good Morning America.

It was reported according to the News that Marshall of the Kern County Fire Department described the cause of the fire as "Mother nature and a spark colliding," and describing as at today's morning, 28th of June, the fire, as 40 percent contained, while ravaging over 45,000 acres.

High temperatures of about 105 degrees in Bakersfield and the dryness of the flora of California due to drought, had acted as fuel propelling the fire, spreading it faster across the community.

People had been evacuated; with evacuation orders still placing some areas closed, and others lifted. Although some media reported that people returned back to some closed area.

We hope they continue to stay safe, while the firemen assume total control of the fire.

                                            By Okechukwu Okugo Is there any condition one can find oneself in life and it is justified to give up? Can something really ugly be turned into a thing of celebration? Before you answer here is the story of Godfrey Baguma who has been dubbed the ugliest man in Uganda.

omments   Sign in to like   Reblog on Tumblr   Share   Tweet   Email A bridge in China suspended over a  1,854-foot gorge became the "world's highest"  when it opened to automotive traffic Thursday, reports said. The Beipanjiang Bridge took three years to build, cost more than $146.7 million dollars, and stretches to be 4,396 feet long. Its four-lane roadway sits nearly two thousand feet over the Beipan River, which it's named after, to connect the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in southwest China,  People's Daily Online  reported. It surpassed the 1,837-foot-tall Sidu River Bridge for its world record title. We know what you're thinking: $146.7 million is cheap! And it is! After all, when the Golden Gate Bridge spanning San Francisco Bay was built in 1933 it cost $1.5 billion (in adjusted dollars), and the brand new New Bay Bridge, on the other side of town, ended up costing a whopping $6.7 billion when it was finished in 2013.

By Okechukwu Okugo Jaxon Buell of Florida, was born with a very uncommon condition diagnosed as Microhydranencephaly. He was born with some part of his brain and skull totally missing. And there is no known cause or no known cure. As a matter of fact, because of the rarity of his case, doctors gave him a few weeks to live on earth. Defying all odds and proving all doctors' prognosis wrong, this adorable baby has lived more than a year and 2 months. His mom, Brittany Buell told WTLV, as reported in Yahoo! Parenting: "We never thought he would make it through the pregnancy, let alone months and let alone making it to his first birthday, so for him to reach that milestone is a humongous deal...I think the doctors thought he would only make it a few weeks. They sent me home with hospice, and he was thriving in my eyes, so I cancelled hospice within two or three days of being home." The doctors had previously ruled in their diagnosis that Jaxon would never walk, ta
