Also striking is that the current extreme wildfire episodes are not only occurring in regions highly accustomed to them (like the Western U.S. and southern Europe), but also places with much less familiarity (like western Europe, and severe smoke impacts in the eastern U.S.).

In France & Spain, the current wildfire outbreak has already necessitated the largest evacuation since WWII (since Dunkirk)--& largest ever in peacetime--of over 300,000 people. Widespread, though yet untold, structure loss appears to have occurred (including in suburban areas).
