Reporting from New York City, McIntyre highlights that Minnesota has recently experienced three major wildfires in just three weeks—a dramatic shift from historical norms. Once thought to be protected due to their abundant lakes and cool climate, states like Minnesota are now clearly vulnerable to extreme weather events like droughts and wildfires.
