At least five people have died and two are missing after dozens of lightning-sparked California wildfires spread rapidly on Thursday, doubling in size in the state's wine country alone while expanding by nearly a third near Palo Alto. There are now 26 major fire incidents in the state, the largest raging to the north and south of the San Francisco Bay Area and affecting more than 350,000 acres in total. Up to 62,000 people have now been forced to flee as shocking satellite images show how smoke from the massive blaze has drifted 600 miles into the Pacific Ocean. Five fatalities were reported as of Thursday night as Governor Gavin Newsom asked for help from other states in fighting the flames back. At least two people were missing and 33 civilians and firefighters have been injured. Up to 100,000 more people may be forced to leave their homes if the fires can not be pushed back soon.

A radio station in Ohio has fired a broadcaster who described Senator Kamala Harris as the nation's 'first colored vice presidential candidate'. In a news teaser that aired during the station's broadcast of the Cleveland Indians game, Kyle Cornell, 26, said: 'The U.S. officially has its first colored vice presidential candidate. More coming up after the game on Newsradio WTAM 1100 Cleveland.' He was fired by WTAM 1100, a Cleveland-based station, on Thursday, after a social media backlash. 'We are aware of the reference made on WTAM by Kyle Cornell,' said Ray Davis, the station's program and promotions director said in a statement. 'The term used is extremely offensive and does not align with our station's core values and commitment to the communities we serve. He is no longer with WTAM.' #facepalm
