PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Two stories that are still developing—the fires in California and the death of fact-checking on social media platforms—may have a powerful impact on our region and the country.
The wildfires sweeping though Los Angeles are a gruesome sight to the rest of the country. And as they have expanded—embers carried on fast-moving winds across a wide and highly populated area, water supplies unable to keep up with demand—they have offered stark warning to people and government agencies everywhere.
Just this last fall, the Philadelphia region had beautiful weather and a long drought. Almost every community in our area had restrictions to prevent fires. Can you imagine the high winds we had just a few days ago during a drought and what kind of damage they could bring in the event of a wildfire?
