At Least Seven Dead and 1.1 Million Acres Burned in California Wildfires | Eater SF

"To the east and south of San Francisco, the SCU Lightning Complex has burned 347,196 acres across Stanislaus, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Joaquin counties and ranks as the third-largest fire the state has ever seen; I note two people injured, 12 structures (residences and businesses) destroyed and 20,065 structures threatened. Officials surveying maps at command centers said they were astonished by the sheer size of these fires, with a Cal Fire spokesman saying you could overlay half of one of these fires and it would cover the entire city of San Francisco." - Eve Batey
