Right on cue, Northern California has plunged back into wildfire hell. This time two years ago, the Tubbs Fire was ripping through Santa Rosa and other communities north of San Francisco, killing 22 and destroying 5,000 homes. And last year on November 8, the Camp Fire virtually obliterated the town of Paradise, killing 86 and burning an astonishing 20,000 structures to the ground.

Last night at 9:30 pm PT, a wildfire sparked northeast of Healdsburg, a town of over 10,000 just north of San Francisco. Fanned by winds of up to 80 miles per hour, the Kincade Fire tore through the landscape, consuming 10,000 acres in a matter of hours. Thousands have been forced to flee. As of the time of this writing, it’s zero percent contained. Early footage of people driving through the area shows the damage is likely extensive, with homes burning along the roadside. Reporters on the ground are finding many gutted structures.
