The Camp Fire burning in Butte County has torched at least 8,000 acres as of Thursday afternoon, according to Cal Fire. It was not immediately known if there were injuries or fatalities.

"It's a very dangerous and very serious situation," Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea told The Associated Press. "I'm driving through fire as we speak. We're doing everything we can to get people out of the affected areas."

While many Moroccans have welcomed the early snowfall, locals in Morocco's mountain areas are wary of the heavy snow and cold wave.

The early cold wave and snow have taken Morocco by surprise, especially in relation to the government's plans to handle the consequences of the weather.

The early snowfalls beginning late in October in the Atlas Mountains towns and cities of Azrou, Midelt, Boulemane, Taza, El Hajeb, Imouzzer, and Ifrane brought joy to many Moroccans.

But a week of rain has flooded cities like Casablanca, and 1.2 meters of snow has isolated people in the mountains of Ouarzazate, Boulemane, Azilal, Haouz, and Beni Mellal.

Rollands Plains and Kundabung on the New South Wales mid-north coast were pummelled by "life-threatening" hailstones measuring up to 9 centimetres on Wednesday afternoon.

Mark Wilgar from the Bureau of Meteorology described the hailstones as "extraordinary".

"That's probably life-threatening at that size," Mr Wilgar said.

"With an impact that would be like, somebody standing on a cloud and throwing a cricket ball at your head.

"Unbelievable stuff, mother nature showing off again. It seems so outrageous."

Passengers on a bus in the Philippines narrowly missed a dangerous landslide on Sunday after a quick-thinking driver reversed the vehicle as rocks and trees started to fall onto the highway.

A video filmed by one of the terrified occupants of the bus appeared on local news networks showing mounds of earth and debris sweeping down a hillside and burying the road in front.

Passengers can be heard screaming inside the vehicle as rocks begin to pound the metal roof, but officials say that nobody at the scene was injured.

Jordan Peterson's take on climate change

A Cambridge Union questioner asks Jordan Peterson whether humanity might finally discover its "global map of meaning" by uniting to combat Climate Change.

20:29
Drought, flooding and ocean acidification.
Unanticipated for 65 million years.
All result from climate change according to over 700 of your fellow scientists.

So I was wondering whether you thought climate change could be an issue that could unite us all - on left and right - moving us beyond debates about c16 to discussions at the UN Katowice next month where perhaps humanity might finally discover its global map of meaning?

Jordan Peterson provides a very succinct answer.

No.

And a wonderfully educational explanation that stuns the audience into silence.
