1:50 p.m. Eastern KASIE HUNT: Wildfires are raging across California and the Pacific Northwest right now. These intense fires are starting earlier and growing larger than normal for July. The largest blaze, Oregon's Bootleg fire, has burned nearly 230,000 acres and threatens nearly 2,000 buildings. The fire is also wreaking havoc on interstate infrastructure interrupting electrical lines that are used to bring power from California to Oregon earlier this week. Experts say these fires were brought on by extreme weather and by climate change as drought and record-breaking heat waves sweep through the region that created perfect conditions for wildfires. And, of course, the impact of extreme weather is being felt around the world. In Europe, 33 people are dead and dozens are missing after extreme flooding in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
