Three fires blazed through Southern California this past week and weekend. Due to these fires over 100,000 people within three counties have been evacuated. These fires have burned over 111,000 acres of California vegetation, forest and wildlife. The San Bernardino County District Attorney stated that the Line Fire was an act of arson and that three fire-igniting tools and devices were found at the origin of the fire. The suspect was tried in court last Friday with nine felony counts.

Last Tuesday, Sept. 10 Long Beach City Council met to pass the new city budget. The proposed 2024-2025 budget for Long Beach will be $3.6 billion. With an 11 percent increase from last year's budget, Long Beach residents can anticipate higher utility bills and increased pricing in city-wide fees such as paid- parking.

Last Tuesday, Sept. 10, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris faced off in the 2024 presidential debate in Philadelphia. Many topics were discussed throughout the debate including the economy and taxes, abortion, immigration, the environment and housing. Vice President Harris is hoping for another debate while the former president made a clear statement on Truth Social, “KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Although the former president feels no need for another debate, his running partner JD Vance will have a debate with Harris’ running mate Tim Walz on Oct. 1.

Last Wednesday, Sept. 11 Hurricane Francine made landfall in Louisiana. New Orleans suffered 7.33 inches of rain and over 140,000 homes lost electricity. At one point, 500 residents were staying in emergency shelters. The hurricane calmed down as it moved towards Mississippi and landed there as a tropical storm.

The eighth Māori monarch was crowned last week following the passing of King Kiingi Tuheitia. The death of the former king, who passed at 69 years old, radiated through many people. Tuheitia’s youngest daughter, Ngā Wai hono i te pō, has risen to take the throne. The 27-year-old is the second female Māori Queen in history after her grandmother.

Not only are we seeing wildfires locally here in Southern California but wildfires are also raging in Brazil with over 20 percent of the Amazon Rainforest being burned. Due to the fires, over 10,000 species of animals and plants are at high risk of extinction. Brazil says this is its worst fire in 20 years.
