“There’s a lot of mistrust going on there.”As fire behavior grows intense because of climate change and overgrown forests, doubts can fester in rural communities as fire managers operate more conservatively than in the past. “Now, we’re seeing fires act more radically, make their own weather and be more unpredictable.”This dynamic is playing out in rural communities elsewhere.

CNN —Nothing can stop Diplo from making it to a concert. It was made clear when the DJ and producer showed up to his scheduled concert in Washington DC Saturday night after hitchhiking his way out of the Burning Man festival, where more than 70,000 people remain trapped on Sunday after heavy rains inundated the area. “I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out cuz I have a show in DC tonight and didn’t want to let y’all down,” Diplo wrote in the caption of a video posted to his verified Instagram page on Saturday. The video showed Diplo and comedian Chris Rock – who was also at the festival over the weekend in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert – piled into the back of a truck with a group of people cruising on what appeared to be solid ground. “But god did.”

Miles was at the top of the Encores! list for the role of Margaret. She recalled learning English while growing up in Hawaii as her Korean language skills diminished and becoming frustrated with her mother’s stubborn accent and lack of concern, unlike her friends’ parents, about things like having nice clothes. Over time, she said she even developed a sort of bitterness toward her mother. “And so I carry all of these stories and these ideas with me when we’re building Margaret,” she said.
