California Fires in Wine Country
HARLOW: California's Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency as fast moving wildfires race through wine country. There are, so far, at least three people have been killed from them.</s>SCIUTTO: CNN correspondent Josh Campbell is in Santa Rosa, California. Josh, it's such a sad vision there. So many memories lost. Of course, lives lost as well. Tell us how things are looking now.</s>JOSH CAMPBELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, that's right, Jim, so many lives. Thousands of lives have been upended here in this part of northern California. Thousands of evacuations. And you can see behind me some of the results of this fast-moving fire. This was once a home here. You can see a vehicle there that was now torched. Again, we're talking about thousands of homes having to evacuate because of this incident. Now, just to give you a sense of how fast-moving this fire here where I'm at in Santa Rosa, how fast this was moving. U.S. government satellite data show that when this thing kicked off it moved at a rate of one acre every five seconds. One acre every five seconds. Incredibly fast-moving. Now, of course, this story isn't just about property. It's also about people. We're sadly learning that just north of us, in Shasta County, California, three people died as a result of a fire there. So this continues over and over. At this point, we're looking at 36,000 acres, zero percent containment. Of course, as we cover these stories, whether it's a shooting or any type of incident that involves people, it's important to not just talk about the what, but the why. Experts continue to tell us that we are seeing the results of global climate change with those CO2 emissions causing rises in temperature, causing earlier snow melt, lower precipitation. When you are a firefighter on the front lines trying to fight these fires, that is what you are dealing with. And, of course, the future is even more bleak than that. The latest national climate assessment tells us that for western -- the western part of the United States, we are looking at two to six times more areas burned in the coming future. Jim. Poppy.</s>HARLOW: Wow, two to six times. Josh Campbell, thank you for being there for us. It's tragic what's happened. Kentucky's attorney general is doing an about face this morning. He is complying with a judge's order to release the grand jury recordings in the Breonna Taylor case. Ahead, what one juror said that prompted this move.
