A lightning siege in California has led to massive wildfires, spreading across hundreds and thousands of acres of lands. More than 10,000 lightning strikes have sparked at least 367 new fires, burning across 300,000 acres. Of these fires, 23 are considered to be major ones, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Despite efforts of containment, it appears to remain out of control. The authorities have ordered evacuation across different parts of the state. Here are county-wise evacuation details and routes.
Hennessey fires have burned 12,500 acres with 0% containment, 15-10 Fire has burned 8,000 acres with 0% containment, Spanish Fire burned 4,000 acres with 0% containment, Markley Fire (5,000 acres), Gamble Fire (13,000 acres), and Morgan Fire (2,000 acres) all with zero percent containment.
