Three massive wildfires chewed through parched Northern California landscape Sunday as firefighters raced to dig breaks and make other preparations ahead of a frightening weather system packing high winds and more of the lightning that sparked the huge blazes and scores of other fires around the state, putting nearly a quarter-million people under evacuation orders and warnings.
Several large fires are raging in California, including the second and third largest fires in state history. Lightning is being blamed for sparking potentially hundreds of fires in the state this month.
