Sad news, Chuck!
I always follow the various locations in the Wildfire season.

Common in the mid and lower States due to the heat and dryness, but I was surprised to see so much fire damage in the higher northern States...(Cold and wet?).
I always follow these location in my FSX Flight Sim, together with Google Sat Maps, and ground details via Wikipedia.
(Unfortunately your "MAP" link doesn't work).
