Nearly 200,000 Californians fled their homes and about a million are in the dark. It likely won't get better yet

A massive blaze forced nearly 200,000 people out of their homes and a power shutoff left about a million in the dark across Northern California on Sunday

The flames were fanned by what Gov. Gavin Newsom called a"historic" wind event, adding"fire weather conditions are unprecedented due to the scale, scope, wind speed and dry fuel conditions.""We are deploying every resource available, and are coordinating with numerous agencies as we continue to respond to these fires," he said in a statewide emergency declaration.

— NWS Bay Area October 27, 2019 There was a second blaze burning in the state late Sunday. The Tick Fire, near Santa Clarita in the southern portion of the state, had destroyed 24 residences and damaged another 36, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said, adding the fire was 70% contained. In response to the winds, Pacific Gas & Electric shut off power to about 965,000 customers in northern portions of the state.
