AETNA SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA - More dry-lightning hit Northern California on Monday after sparking over 625 wildfires the past week but firefighters got some relief as temperatures eased off record highs.
Close to 300 lightning strikes sparked 10 blazes overnight and more"sleeper fires" were likely burning undiscovered in areas shrouded by dense smoke, Governor Gavin Newsom said. The wildfires, ignited by over 13,000 lightning strikes from dry thunderstorms across Northern and Central California since Aug 15, have killed at least seven people and destroyed over 1,200 homes and other structures.
Smoke from fires that have burned over 485,620ha, an area more than three times larger than Los Angeles, created unhealthy conditions for much of Northern California and drifted as far as Kansas.
