If anyone thought Google wasn’t awesome enough, check this out. KPBS News are updating Google maps to show where the fires are, where evacuations are, and also where volunteers are needed. You really need to check this page out to see how great this is. If anyone lives in the area please check this so you can see where the fires are. You can also check this if you have any loved ones living in the area. Click the image to see the google maps page, or click HERE. You can also check out their TWITTER page here.

There is so much info being shot at us about these wildfires in Southern California, that I have gathered together a list of some resources with up to the date information along with images and or videos to help you understand what is going on. I have also embedded a video of the wildfires as seen from the Internation Space Station.
