Northern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, continues to do battle with a series of fires, many caused by lightning storms.
Since Sunday morning, an unusual barrage of lightning strikes in Northern and Central California, combined with extreme heat, have sparked hundreds of fires.
Over the last three days, state officials say there have been more than 10,000 lightning strikes in California. And as of Wednesday afternoon, California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has declared a state of emergency, said there were 367 major fires burning in the state. (Los Angeles Times)
