At least 1,500 homes, businesses and other structures have been destroyed as more than 14 fires ravaged eight counties throughout Northern California late Sunday and Monday
morning, authorities said. The vast devastation over just a few hours made this firestorm one of the worst in California history, with Gov. Jerry Brown declaring a state of emergency.
(. . .) The Santa Rosa fire began around 10 p.m.
It was an inferno like youve never seen before, Marian Williams, who escaped in a caravan with neighbors through flames before dawn near the town of Kenwood, told the Associated
Press. Trees were on fire like torches, she said.
