00:00 Good morning guys and happy Friday.
00:04 Let's see what weather is making news today and we begin with a new study about wildfires
00:08 in the U.S.
00:09 Forest fires may get more attention, but a new study reveals that grassland fires are
00:14 more widespread and destructive across the U.S.
00:17 The study found grass and shrub fires burned more land than forest fires did and they destroyed
00:22 more homes too.
00:24 Wildfire risk to homes is especially high in areas where the built environment meets
00:28 wild vegetation, a region called the wildland urban interface.
00:33 This year's Lahaina fire in Hawaii is an example of such a fire.
00:37 Our next story takes us to one of the pollution capitals of the world, New Delhi, India.
00:42 They're so fed up with their pollution that they have an idea to wash it all out of the
00:45 air.
00:46 They're spending about $120,000 on a cloud seeding venture in order to make it rain.
00:52 Unfortunately cloud seeding is usually not too productive.
00:55 We wish them luck.
00:57 And finally we have a very patriotic story for you.
01:00 The National Park Service will provide free entrance to everyone this Saturday to commemorate
01:05 Veterans Day.
01:06 That's right, everyone gets a free one day pass to any national park this Saturday.
01:11 Many of these parks will also hold special events to commemorate our veterans.
01:15 Also if you're a retired veteran, you can obtain a free lifetime pass for the national
01:20 parks.
01:21 Okay guys, it's Friday and that means it's time for this week's AccuWeather social poll.
01:26 Tonight's question is, when do you put up your Christmas season holiday decorations?
01:31 Well looking at the results, there is a consensus that after Thanksgiving is the preferred time
01:37 to do it.
01:38 I'll tell you what though, everywhere I've ever lived there's always that one neighbor
01:41 who loves decorating so much that they do it way earlier than the rest of the neighborhood.
01:46 If you want to cast your vote, just head over to the AccuWeather Facebook or X pages to
01:50 join in the fun.
01:51 Okay Bernie and Christina, where do you stand on the acceptable time to decorate for the
01:55 holiday season?
01:56 I'm after Thanksgiving, but my wife says before Thanksgiving so that's what we'll probably
02:00 end up doing.
02:01 I think the week before Thanksgiving because I want the decorations up for Thanksgiving.
02:06 But like I could see after Thanksgiving too.
02:10 Well if you want more weather fun and weather takes, make sure you follow AccuWeather on
02:13 Facebook and X, aka Used to be Twitter, and join in our weekly polls.
02:17 We want to hear what you think.
