Just did some rough math. It appears that we're closing in on 600,000 acres burned by lightning-sparked wildfires in Northern California *in just 7 days.* Nearly all such fires are still spreading rapidly. I'm truly at a loss for words. #CAwx #CAfires #CaliforniaWildfires
And there haven't even been any offshore winds driving these fires! Just absolutely stunning.
There is so much fire activity, include several *new* large fires today, that I think very few people have had the bandwidth to process the magnitude of what is going on in NorCal right now. It's no wonder that CalFire and local firefighting agencies are so overwhelmed.
Even relative to recent California firestorms, this is hard to process. And there's there's no real end in sight. Autumn offshore wind season--the period of peak fire risk in coastal California--is yet to come. And, of course, we are still in the middle of a respiratory pandemic.
