Massive wildfires scorch California, but humidity helps keep feared lightning at bay for now

Massive wildfires ignited by lightning continued to rage Monday on all sides of the San Francisco Bay area, and much of Northern California was under a red flag warning as high winds with lightning threatened to spark even more flames.

Three vast blazes are scorching Northern California, and more than 650 wildfires, most sparked by lightning, have burned across the state in the last week.

However, firefighters received some help Monday from the weather as humidity rose and the lightning was kept at bay overnight. "Mother Nature’s helped us quite a bit," said Billy See, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) incident commander for a complex of fires burning south of San Francisco.

At least seven people have died from the fires, including the first victim of the CZU Lightning Complex fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains, south of San Francisco, who was found dead Sunday.
