The blaze, dubbed the McKinney Fire, broke out Friday afternoon in the Klamath National Forest near the California-Oregon border and has since ripped through more than 52,000 acres, advancing on homes and forcing nearly 2,000 residents to evacuate Saturday, authorities said.
Heavy smoke over the fire helped slow its growth Sunday, but also kept firefighting aircraft grounded, the US Forest Service said in a Sunday night update.
As the weekend ended, the blaze was 0% contained and firefighters face a long battle ahead as lightning and thunderstorms complicated efforts while the flames raced through dry vegetation.
Oregon state Rep. Dacia Grayber was camping with her husband, both firefighters, near the California state line when they woke up to orange skies, hot wind gusts, lightning and blowing ash, she said on Twitter. They evacuated from the campground knowing one of them may return on deployment if the fire grows.
“In 22+ yrs of fire I’ve never experienced anything like this fire behavior at night. It felt absolutely surreal and not just a little apocalyptic,” grayber tweeted.
The area remained under a Red Flag Warning as a threat of dry lightning, strong winds, high temperatures and low humidity created dangerous fire conditions through Sunday night. “Abundant lightning” is expected through Monday, as well as scattered thunderstorms that could potentially spread the flames out further, according to the National Weather Service.
“These conditions can be extremely dangerous for firefighters, as winds can be erratic and extremely strong, causing fire to spread in any direction,” forest service officials said in a news release.
The dry thunderstorms that occurred over the weekend happen when rainfall evaporates before ever hitting the ground, leaving only lightning strikes capable of sparking new fires and fueling existing ones, CNN Meteorologist Robert Shackelford said.
At an estimated 52,498 acres, the McKinney Fire has become California’s largest wildfire so far this year, Cal Fire Capt. Chris Bruno told CNN.
And it isn’t the only blaze crews have to contend with. There were 10 different wildfires burning in the Klamath National Forest Sunday afternoon, forest officials said.
The fires generated their own weather in the form of pyrocumulus clouds, which are created from the intense heat of the fire forcing air to rise.
Tor Mason was one of the hundreds evacuated due to the McKinney Fire. He said he and his friends fled their homes and arrived at the Klamath River Community Center, only to find the fire closing in, he told CNN affiliate KDRV.
“When I got to the community center it was almost on fire. I’m like, holy crap, this isn’t good,” Mason said. “So I put the … pedal to the metal and I boogied. … I heard this morning it shot up in flames.”
California’s persistent drought conditions have set the scene for rapid fire spread in the forest, with the fires burning extremely dry, receptive fuels, according to the forest service.
Racing through dry brush, grass and timber, the fire activity has been extreme, with the flames running uphill, and spotting further out, according to fire officials.
“Klamath National Forest is a big and beautiful forest, but it also has some steep and rugged terrain. And with that, coupled with the high temperatures, low humidity, they all come into play and make it a very extreme fire danger situation right now ,” Tom Stokesberry of the US Forest Service told CNN affiliate KTVL.
A total of 648 firefighting personnel have converged on the blaze, attacking the flames from the ground and the air and working to defend evacuated homes.
Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency Saturday for Siskiyou County, saying the blaze has destroyed homes and threatened critical infrastructure. Cal Fire said no information was available on structures damaged by the McKinney Fire, though Stokesberry told KTVL there were unconfirmed reports of lost structures.
On Saturday, about 60 people were evacuated from the Pacific Crest Trail as the McKinney Fire approached, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in Oregon said on its Facebook page, noting the hikers were rescued from the “California side of the Red Buttes Wilderness.”
Conditions could get better Monday as the chance of isolated dry thunderstorms shifts to the north, Shackelford said. There is also a chance for up to 2 inches of rain falling over the area, which could aid firefighters battling the McKinney Fire.

East coast gas prices are soaring on the back of a global energy crunch, which has been intensified by Western nations shunning Russian supplies of oil and gas to starve Moscow of the revenue it needs to fund the war in Ukraine.
Australia’s LNG exporters are earning record sales revenue while many local manufacturers are struggling under high domestic gas prices.
ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said the consumer watchdog was “strongly encouraging” LNG producers to increase domestic supply or face market intervention.
“Our latest gas report finds that the outlook for the east coast gas market has significantly worsened. To protect energy security on the east coast, we are recommending the resources minister initiate the first step of the Australian Domestic Gas Security Mechanism,” she said.
The ADGSM empowers King to redirect exports into the local market. However, when gas prices took off following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the ADGSM was “not a short-term answer” because it required about six months of consultation and only triggered enough supply to fill gaps rather than cut the cost. gas.
“It is a supply trigger, not a price trigger,” he said.

East coast gas producers export the majority of their supply to the lucrative international market, prompting warnings from the ACCC that domestic customers cannot be overlooked in favor of large, international buyers seeking long-term contracts.
The ACCC’s projected shortfall of 56 petajoules for 2023 is the largest it’s made since beginning its inquiry in 2017.
“LNG exporters are expected to contribute to the shortfall in 2023 by withdrawing 58 petajoules more gas from the domestic market than they expect to supply,” the report said.
“This could place further upward pressure on prices and result in some manufacturers closing their businesses, and some market exit has already occurred.”

Australia’s east-coast gas producers on Monday disputed the suggestion that a shortfall was looming, pointing to the ACCC’s finding that 167 petajoules of gas remained uncontracted and would be offered to local buyers first.
“This is more than enough gas to ensure that no shortfall occurs,” said Damian Dwyer of the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association, which represents oil and gas companies. “Gas customers can be assured supply will be adequate next year so households and businesses can continue uninterrupted.”
However, major gas users declared the ACCC’s latest report had yet again painted an “alarming picture” for businesses that depended on the fossil fuel.
loading
The Energy Users’ Association of Australia, whose members include ASX-listed fertilizer giant Incitec Pivot and building material supplier Brickworks, backed the government’s decision to initiate the first steps of the ADGSM, but feared it would “not be enough”.
“Energy users are looking for stronger action such as the ADGSM and heads of agreement triggers that not only ensure the volume of gas is sufficient but also seek to ensure the price of gas is affordable,” chief executive Andrew Richards said.
“It is time for governments and regulators to stop rattling the saber and to draw their sword. It seems clear that threatening the gas industry with stronger actions is not enough. It is only taking strong actions that will effect change.”
The ACCC’s report did not identify any wrongdoing but Chalmers said he encouraged the consumer watchdog to act if any anti-competitive behavior were uncovered in the future.
“It’s critical that our domestic gas supply is secure and competitively priced, particularly when households and businesses are under extreme pressure,” he said.
“The ACCC has raised concerns about the level of competition in this market, and I welcome its commitment to look into this and take enforcement action as required.”

The sickie is a skill most of us learned when we were primary kids. Telegraph it the day before, cough a few times before bed. If you’re into Jeremy Strong levels of method acting you could attempt shivering, and you would definitely get some Panadol.
Now the trick of the perfect sickie is to remember your plan from the night before as soon as you wake up. Cough as your eyes open, otherwise before you know it you’re downstairs scoffing cereal when you remember, at which point you’re already in your school uniform and there’s no point going back into character. The audience will see right through it.
A shame to waste a sick day on the sick… Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
So you get to school. Just after recess, you decide 90 minutes of maths isn’t going to cut the mustard and you go to the school office and put in an Oscar-worthy performance of the night before’s illness with some contextual flourishes – at your cousin’s birthday, Aunt Beryl was coughing, or maybe you forgot to pack a jumper for the movies. We all know that it is a sure fire way to catch a cold.
Back in the day, the school nurse could see through the real and the fake, and would even delay calling your parents until just before lunch, at which point the opportunity to play with friends again could make you feel better all of a sudden. When they did believe you, you would be collected and depending on how generous your parents were feeling it was TV all afternoon or my mother’s line that still haunts me (and fills me with guilt even when I am actually sick): “If you’ you’re well enough to watch TV, you’re well enough to go to school.”
Now however, the sickie doesn’t even require any skill, let alone strategy. You just say you have a sore throat and you’re either not going to school, or you’re being collected as soon as possible. I’m a single mother and a teacher, so half the week I’m ‘it’ for the COVID call. Everyone is rightly scared of a COVID outbreak, whether it’s at my work-school or my kid-school, we all do the right thing.
So this week, I did another (actually sick) kid collection half way through the day, and for the price of having a nasal swab, they got a day at home watching tv, and I was off work, again, figuring out what on earth it looks like if they’ve got COVID again. They were negative, and they were back at school a day and a half later.

I don’t know how long we can go through life with a zero tolerance policy for any symptoms, and families won’t be able to afford to test their snotty-from-May-till-September kids on a daily basis. This year our cold and flu season has been really bad for younger children because kids haven’t developed immunity in the past two years with lockdowns and social distancing.
Student absences are higher than they ever have been because of COVID, isolation, covid like symptoms as well as the rest of the reasons kids have days off school – dentist appointments, tummy bugs, travel. Absences have an impact on learning as well as socialisation. Professor Pasi Sahlberg wrote about how, in the scheme of things, COVID lockdowns weren’t that long, but what if every term each student gets COVID or similar symptoms and misses out on a week of school? That’s 10 per cent less school than previous generations. Surely that has to add up. (Caveat: I am not a math teacher.)
Prince William cheekily broke protocol during his excitement and elation when England defeated Germany in the UEFA European Women’s Championship.
The English team – affectionately known as the Lionesses – won their first Euros trophy in extra time where they conquered the Germans 2-1 in front of a sell-out raucous home crowd at Wembley Stadium on Sunday night.
England’s Keira Walsh put a perfect through-ball to teammate Ella Toone who sent a perfect chip over the German goalkeeper to put the hosts ahead at the 61st minute.
Germany – who have never lost a Euros final – responded in the 78th minute with a strike near the goal to level the score and send the match into extra time.

The crowd of more than 87,000 fans were on the edge of their seats with ten minutes left before the match was likely headed for a penalty shootout.
But a perfect corner from Lioness Lauren Hemp saw the ball bounce off Lucy Bronze into the German keeper before Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal.
The home fans roared with delight before the final whistle blew to confirm the Lionesses had secured their first major trophy in a stunning upset.
Prince William watched the final alongside other dignitaries, including the potential next British prime minister Liz Truss from the grandstand.
The Duke of Cambridge later handed out the winning medals to each of the women at the award ceremony where he understandably broke protocol.
He initially shook hands with some of the Lionesses before he offered hugs to congratulate the emotional players.
A royal member would traditionally offer their hand for a shake but Prince William has been known to break protocol in past engagements with the public.
Prince William also later took to social media to congratulate the English side again for their victory over Germany.
“Sensational,” he said on his official Twitter page.
“An incredible win @lionesses and the whole nation couldn’t be more prouder of you all.
“Wonderful to see history in the making tonight at Wembley, congratulations! W.”
The Queen also shared a congratulatory message on social media.
“My warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women’s Football Championships,” the statement read.
“It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff.
“The Championships and your performance in them have rightly won praise. However, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned.”
Tens of thousands of Brits flooded pubs and bars around the country post-match to celebrate the Lionesses win.
Pensioners in New Zealand can work without affecting their income and 25 per cent of them earned income from paid work, compared to just 3 per cent in Australia. A parliamentary briefing prepared for the Morrison government found an extra 445,000 people could enter the workforce if tax on pensioners’ earnings was cut.
Under current rules, a single person can earn up to $480 a fortnight without affecting their pension entitlement. When a pensioner earns more than that, their pension is reduced at 50¢ for every dollar in income, or an effective marginal tax rate of 50 per cent. That rate climbs above 60¢ in the dollar as income tax thresholds start to affect their pay.
National Seniors spokesman Craig Feldman said cutting the tax on pensioners’ earnings “would be a great incentive” to get more people into the workforce.
“We surveyed about 3000 of our members, which is a pretty good sample and 20 per cent of them came back to us and said yes, we would actually consider going back into the workforce,” Feldman said.
“They need the money. The pension is not exactly a good way of getting through the cost of living crisis, particularly now with higher oil prices and higher grocery prices.”
Goulburn Valley fruit grower Peter Hall welcomed the push to encourage more pensioners to work in the agriculture sector.

“Sometimes they make the best workers because they’re used to working,” he said. “They’re a bit because they want to supplement their income that might be a bit modestly motivated.”
Hall said some older workers were experienced in operating machinery, which would allow them to fill some roles on farms beyond fruit picking.
“The freer the access to people who want to work in our industry the better. It’s already a pretty tight market.”
Cherry Hill Orchards owner Stephen Riseborough said he would also welcome pensioners working across his three orchards, but he said the industry was still grappling with the absence of backpackers.
“I don’t know how many pensioners realistically want to go out there and pick fruit,” he said.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said he expected this issue to be raised at the government’s Jobs and Skills Summit in September.
“We listen respectfully to anybody who’s got ideas about how we can deal with the challenges in our economy,” Chalmers said.
Kyiv, Ukraine — A small explosive device carried by a makeshift drone blew up Sunday at the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet on the Crimean Peninsula, wounding six people and prompting the cancellation of ceremonies there honoring Russia’s navy, authorities said.
Meanwhile, one of Ukraine’s richest men, a grain merchant, was killed in what Ukrainian authorities said was a carefully targeted Russian missile strike on his home.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the drone explosion in a courtyard at the naval headquarters in the city of Sevastopol. But the seemingly improvised, small-scale nature of the attack raised the possibility that it was the work of Ukrainian insurgents trying to drive out Russian forces.
A Russian lawmaker from Crimea, Olga Kovitidi, told Russian state news agency RIA-Novosti that the drone was launched from Sevastopol itself. She said the incident was being treated as a terrorist act, the news agency said.
Crimean authorities raised the terrorism threat level for the region to “yellow,” the second-highest tier.
Sevastopol, which was seized along with the rest of Crimea from Ukraine by Russia in 2014, is about 170 kilometers (100 miles) south of the Ukrainian mainland. Russian forces control much of the mainland along the Black Sea.
The Black Sea Fleet’s press service said the drone appeared to be homemade. It describes the explosive device as “low-power.” Sevastopol Major Mikhail Razvozhaev said six people were wounded. Observances of Russia’s Navy Day holiday were canceled in the city.

Ukraine’s navy and an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the reported drone attack underlined the weakness of Russian air defenses.
“Did the occupiers admit the helplessness of their air defense system? Or their helplessness in front of the Crimean partisans?” Oleksiy Arestovich said on Telegram.
If such an attack is possible by Ukraine, he said, “the destruction of the Crimean bridge in such situations no longer sounds unrealistic” — a reference to the span that Russia built to connect its mainland to Crimea after the annexation.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, the mayor of the major port city of Mykolaiv, Vitaliy Kim, said shelling killed one of Ukraine’s wealthiest men, Oleksiy Vadatursky, and his wife, Raisa. Vadatursky headed a grain production and export business.
Another presidential adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, said Vadatursky was specifically targeted.
It “was not an accident, but a well-thought-out and organized premeditated murder. Vadatursky was one of the largest farmers in the country, a key person in the region and a major employer. That the exact hit of a rocket was not just in a house, but in a specific wing, the bedroom, leaves no doubt about aiming and adjusting the strike,” he said.
Vadatursky’s agribusiness, Nibulon, includes a fleet of ships for sending grain abroad.
In the Sumy region in Ukraine’s north, near the Russian border, shelling killed one person, the regional administration said. And three people died in attacks over the past day in the Donetsk region, which is partly under the control of Russian-backed separatist forces, said regional Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko.
Podolyak said on Twitter that images of the prison where at least 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in an explosion on Friday indicated that the blast came from within the building in Olenivka, which is under Russian control.
Russian officials have claimed the building was attacked by Ukraine with the aim of silencing POWs who might be giving information about Ukrainian military operations. Ukraine has blamed Russia for the explosion.
Satellite photos taken before and after show that a small, squarish building in the middle of the prison complex was demolished, its roof in splinters.
Podolyak said those images and the lack of damage to adjacent structures showed that the building was not attacked from the air or by artillery. He contended the evidence was consistent with a thermobaric bomb, a powerful device sometimes called a vacuum bomb, being set off inside.
The International Red Cross asked to immediately visit the prison to make sure the scores of wounded POWs had proper treatment, but said Sunday that its request had yet to be granted. It said that denying the Red Cross access would violate the Geneva Convention on the rights of POWs.
Pour one out for Australia’s beer drinkers as the price of an ale at the pub surges up to $15 following the largest tax hike in more than three decades.
The Australian Tax Office announced the excise on beer would be lifted by 4%, or $2.50 more a liter on Monday under its CPI indexation review.
The Brewers Association of Australia said it was the biggest increase in more than 30 years to hit a market that was already taxed more than “almost any other nation”.
“We have seen almost 20 increases in Australia’s beer tax over the past decade alone,” CEO John Preston said.
“Sadly, we’re now seeing the impact as pub patrons will soon be faced with the prospect of regularly paying around $15 for a pint at their local.
“For a small pub, club or other venue the latest tax hike will mean an increase of more than $2,700 a year in their tax bill – at a time when they are still struggling to deal with the ongoing impacts of the pandemic.”
Australia’s excise on beer is adjusted twice a year according to inflation, which is growing at its fastest pace in more than two decades with a peak not expected until the end of the year. Wine operates under a separate taxation system.
A report by economist and University of Adelaide professor Kym Anderson AC, commissioned by the Brewers Association in 2020, found Australians paid the fourth-highest beer tax in the world compared with advanced OECD and EU countries.
Only Norway, Japan and Finland paid more.
The next highest-taxing countries were the United Kingdom and Ireland, but their rates were still about 30% lower than Australia’s between 2018 and 2020.
At $2.26 a liter of alcohol, Australians paid a whopping 18 times more than Germany, 15 times more than Spain, seven times more than the US and six times more than Canada. It also paid nearly double its neighbor in New Zealand.
In 2020-2021, the government received $2.5bn in excise and customs duty on beer, including draft and packaged beverages. The beer tax accounted for about 42% of the retail price of a carton of beer.
At the same time, Australians have been named the heaviest drinkers in the world – spending more time drunk than any other nation in 2020. And beer is a popular drop.
According to the latest ABS figures, beer accounted for 39% of the 191.2m liters of pure alcohol available for consumption around Australia in 2017-2018.
Preston said brewers and operators were “extremely disappointed” the former government didn’t reduce the beer tax in the March budget as was proposed, and called for beer tax relief prior to another raise in February 2023.
Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe has been forced to undertake her parliamentary oath for a second time after referring to the Queen as a “coloniser”.
The outspoken Senator for Victoria lifted her fist into the air in what appeared to be a black power salute as she marched towards the central table of the chamber on Monday morning.
She then sarcastically recited the oath of allegiance and added her own spin, which was swiftly shut down by other senators.
“I sovereign, Lidia Thorpe, do solemnly and sincerely affirm and declare that I will be faithful, and I bear true allegiance to the colonizing Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,” she said, drawing uproar from the Senate.

“You’re not a senator if you don’t do it properly,” interjected one Senator.
“None of us like it,” Ms Thorpe said amid the commotion.
Senate President Sue Lines reprimanded Ms Thorpe for directing her “to recite the oath as printed on the card.”
Ms Thorpe reluctantly finished the correct oath and was sworn into Parliament.
She later took to Twitter to declare: “Sovereignty never ceded.”
Greens leader Adam Bandt threw his support behind Ms Thorpe’s gesture, tweeting: “Always was. Always will be.”
Ms Thorpe has been highly outspoken about the nation’s colonialist history, and has repeatedly argued the Australian flag represents “dispossession, massacre and genocide”.
“The colonial project came here and murdered our people well I’m sorry that we’re not happy about that,” she told ABC radio in June.
“I’m sorry that this flag represents so much trauma for so many people, not all people but so many and they’re the people that I’m representing.”
Last week, Ms Thorpe posted a tweet criticizing the oath of allegiance.
“It’s 2022 and we’re swearing allegiance to a queen of another country,” she wrote.
Politicians are required to recite the oath before taking their seat in parliament.
Ms Thorpe has previously revealed she was only a member to “infiltrate” the system.
“I am here for my people, and I will sacrifice swearing allegiance to the colonizer to get into the media like I am right now, to get into the parliament like I am every day,” she told Network Ten’s the Project.
“To make this country put a mirror up to itself and ask, who are we? Where do we come from and where are we going?”
“‘The Next Revolution” host Steve Hilton blamed President Biden on Sunday for turning a strong US economy into a ‘weak, stagnant’ one, calling the rate at which the country has entered a technical recession “genuinely astounding” – considering the state of the economy under former President Trump.
US ECONOMY ENTERS TECHNICAL RECESSION AFTER GROWTH TUMBLES 0.9% IN THE SECOND QUARTER
STEVE HILTON: Just out of interest, I went back and read Biden’s inaugural address again, and I noticed something amazing. Not the endless disingenuous policies about unity, but the fact he barely even talks about the economy. He it’s hardly mentioned and now we know why. Because Biden’s current economic plan now coming into full horrific view was this: how quickly and how comprehensively can we take a strong growing economy and turn it into a weak, shrinking, stagnant one? And the answer is, pretty damn quickly.
—
Revised GDP numbers show the economy shrank at an even faster rate than previously reported during the first quarter, and now it is down again. So that does mean we’re in a recession. The rate at which this Biden regime has driven our economy into the ground is actually genuinely astounding.
—
It was only just a few years ago with Trump that we had the best economy for half a century. Blue collar boom, the lowest unemployment levels we’ve ever seen, especially for women, Black people and Latinos. But now look, we went from becoming a net energy exporter to waging a self-defeating war on energy… we went from affordable gas prices to the highest average cost per gallon on record, from pro-growth to anti-growth, pro-America to anti-America. This is Biden’s mad agenda and this is Biden’s avoidable recession.

Supermarkets are forcing many people to overspend, costing households an extra $1,200 each year, new research has revealed.
A survey of more than 2000 Australians found about two in five people frequently overspend their food budget and 82 per cent now splurge up to $200 on their weekly grocery shop.
The research, conducted by meal kit delivery service HelloFresh, also found 71 per cent of respondents were worried food items would continue to become more expensive.
Other key findings from the research found:
Ninety per cent of people are spending up to $100 per month on discounted impulse buys, while 88 per cent are doing the same for full-price impulse buys at the supermarket;
About two in five people frequently purchase discounted items they did not plan to buy; and
Three in five Australians are frequently traveling to multiple supermarkets to find all the ingredients they need for a meal.
The rising cost of food at supermarkets has led to some people turning to meal kit services.
Rebecca from Victoria told NCA NewsWire she used to shop at Coles and Woolworths, depending on which was closest to home or work on any given day.
“I would usually pop in multiple times throughout the week to get ingredients for dinner that night; I’d end up spending at least $40 every time I went into the supermarket, if not more,” she said.
“I switched to HelloFresh because I was getting tired of going through the same process every day when it came to thinking about dinner.
“I had to think about who’s around, what they’d want to eat and what I could be bothered making.
“Knowing that I wouldn’t have to do the mad dash to the supermarket after work was the biggest thing that made me swap to using HelloFresh.”
Rebecca’s partner has two children who are with them on weekends, so by making the move away from supermarkets, she says she is now saving about $100 per week.
HelloFresh chief executive and founder Tom Rutledge said his company offered a better value option for people wanting to save on dinner, while also saving time and reducing food waste.
“At this challenging time, it’s more important than ever that Aussies get the most out of their weekly food shop,” he said.
“As grocery prices go up and the cost of living continues to be a concern for Aussies, people are looking for better-value options for their groceries.
“We want to remind Aussies that there’s an alternative to shopping at the supermarket. By using HelloFresh, Aussies can save up to 24 per cent on the cost of dinner, while also saving time and food waste, with convenient home delivery and pre-portioned ingredients.”
