What's in The News Today

Fire season is officially here and more fires in the west are burning. Two hundred families are evacuated in Texas and the two highways that travel through Houston and Dallas are closed. High winds and high temperatures are putting the fire at danger levels and making it impossible to control. The fire in Arizona is also still burning.

A bomb scare causes fear on a U.S. Airway plane on it's way to the Ronald Reagan National airport in D.C. While the flight was airborne a woman went to the airlines and reported that there was a bomb on the flight. When the plane landed it was surrounded with police and all the passengers had to get checked individually with their baggage that went on for hours. There wasn't a bomb on the plane  and the woman that reported the bomb scare suffers from mental illness.

Facebook lost 7 million users last month in the United States and Canada this is based on a data blog inside of Facebook. Facebook is denying this claim. Users that have been interviewed stated "the site is predictable and that they don't want to waste a lot of time on it and tired of seeing peoples pictures." One mother said that " she deleted her Facebook account so that she could here from her kids through a phone call and that she would rather see them in person." Remember "AOL" faded away also.
