In just one week, two wildfire fronts in California destroyed over 400,000 acres of greenery and hundreds of homes, mostly in the area around San Francisco Bay. Figures that make these two waves of fire the second and third most serious in the history of the Golden State. This was announced by the National Weather Service, the US weather service.
"The worst is not behind us yet. We are in the midst of the battle," said Cal Fire Chief Thom Porter, quoted in a tweet from the AP agency, who recalled how the flames - 585 outbreaks - are fueled by scorching and dry heat, winds and at least 12,000 lightning strikes without rain recorded.
