Over 80,000 forced to flee wildfire in Canada

The entire population of Fort McMurray, Canada, was ordered to evacuate as a wildfire whipped by winds engulfed homes and sent ash raining down on people.

More than 80,000 residents of the Alberta oil sands city were ordered to flee after an earlier order that had applied to nearly 30,000 people, mostly on the south side, was extended to tens of thousands more as flames continued to make their way into the city.

Panicked residents packed Highway 63, the only route out of the city, as flames jumped across the road.
