A wildfire has destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim, along with over 70 structures, including cabins and a visitor center. The fire began with a lightning strike on July 4 and intensified over the weekend due to high winds and dry conditions. Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has called for a federal investigation into the National Park Service's initial decision to not aggressively attack the fire right away. Park officials have closed the North Rim for the rest of the year, evacuating hikers and rerouting river rafters. Firefighters continue battling the blaze, which remains uncontained.

It's been a wild week of weather in many parts of the United States. Millions of people are enduring dangerous heat and humidity in the Midwest, while an Alaska landslide killed one man and a woman died in a Grand Canyon National Park flash flood. Additionally, Hawaii was pounded with rain from Tropical Storm Hone and mountains in the West saw early-season snow.
