Photos of the week: 10/6 - 10/13

The deadliest wildfire event in California history swept across the state's wine country this week, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. Windy conditions fanned the flames and quickly engulfed virtually everything in their path. The fires emitted a year’s worth of car pollution in less than a week and drastically decreased air quality, according to NBC News. Fires spread in Southern California as well, making the skies over Disneyland in Anaheim look apocalyptic.

Allegations of sexual abuse and harassment by media mogul Harvey Weinstein also rocked the country this week. A bombshell report by the New York Times accusing Weinstein of "decades of sexual harassment" quickly snowballed into a massive scandal with dozens of women coming forward. Weinstein was terminated as co-chairman of The Weinstein Company and many figures, including Hollywood stars and politicians he had donated money to spoke out against him.
