An explosive wildfire that's caused thousands to evacuate from their homes in Southern California is sending smoke hundreds of miles to the east, giving residents in Arizona a bright red sun in the sky. The Apple Fire has scorched more than 32 square miles of dry brush in the mountains east of Los Angeles, after exploding in size over the weekend. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said as of Monday morning the blaze is only 5 percent contained after charring some 20,516 acres. The National Weather Service (NWS) said Sunday that a "large area of smoke" from the blaze was drifting over western Arizona. Satellite imagery showed a large swath of smoke from the wildfire covering the area. "This smoke extends from The Sea of Cortez, Lake Havasu, Phoenix, and Payson," the NWS forecast office in Flagstaff tweeted.

Funny kiss cam moment
Hurricane Isaias made landfall in North Carolina just after 11pm on Monday as local officials warned residents of life-threatening storm surges, flash floods, wind gusts of up to 85mph that knocked out power for at least 124,000 customers. The massive system strengthened from a tropical storm to a Category 1 hurricane as forecasters expect it to dump up to 8 inches of rain along most of the Eastern Seaboard, which is under a tropical storm watch stretching from Georgia all the way up to Maine. Preparations for the storm's arrival have been underway in major cities along the East Coast, including New York, where officials say Isaias packs the strongest punch since Superstorm Sandy from 2012. Video footage uploaded to social media by residents of Myrtle Beach show flooding induced by storm surge just before the hurricane was due to make landfall.
Bodycam footage from two cops accused in the murder of George Floyd is revealed exclusively by DailyMail - and it shows a rookie officer terrifying Floyd by pointing a handgun at his head and another callously picking a pebble from the squad car tire just inches from the dying man and seconds before he draws his last breath. ⚠️ While still in the car, Floyd says for the first time 'I can't breathe.' ⚠️ For this reason, officers later ignored Floyd's screams. Officers are not to blame! 💙💙💙💙
