all ablaze

Earlier this week California had some wildfires started mainly due the the high winds reaching 80 MPH, the worst wind conditions that have not been seen for decades.  It only takes one spark to start it and the winds will do the rest of not only fanning the fires but carrying the embers across miles to ignite other areas.  Everyone is pointing blame on others but honestly we are all to blame.  Awareness to the global warming situation is making it worse and worse.  The dry air, record-breaking winds is all contributing to this and that is just in California.  The East coast also saw record-breaking hurricane weather and other natural disasters.  The Gulf of Mexico produced more than normal hurricane anomalies and it is only getting worse as the water becomes warmer.  But, they blame people despite their warnings and not using scientific fact for their own made up fiction.  We are at a loss and will continue to lose.

Weekly Update:
We need some rain!!  With the fires raging in Los Angeles County and how dry it has been along with wind, we are bone dry.  Not one drop of rain for months and this is generally our wet season!  Another sign of climate change and global warming occurring yet those empower who are not scientist choose to ignore it and blame it on stupid things that make no sense.  The biggest impact that is causing all of this is all the emissions every year from not just our country but globally.  If we do not start making drastic changes, it will increase and get worse fast, it already is and will just exponentially increase year-after-year.  How much proof do they need?  They ignore it till it affects them and eventually it will affect everyone.

At the movies:
New at #1 is Den of Thieves 2: Pantera with a modest 15.5 million for this post holiday lull time frame.  Don't expected it to last very long on screen.  Slight dip to #2 is Mufasa: The Lion King with 13.2 mil extra and closing in on that 200 mil mark still.  Also dipping down a bit is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with 11 mil more and just broke the 200 mil mark!  Drop down to #4 is Nosferatu with 6.8 mil more and closing in at 100 mil, it should get there eventually but definitely over time.  Rounding off the top 5 is Moana 2 with 6.5 mil as it slowly quiets down after 7 weeks in release.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Two this week on semi-wide releases (under 1,000 screens).  In at #9 is Game Changer with 1.9 mil and a very low per screen average at that.  At #10 is The Last Showgirl with 1.5 mil and even lower per screen.  Both of these won't last very long at the theatres.
