Since Sunday evening California has been pummeled with thousands of dry lightning strikes that have sparked over a hundred new wildfires.
While most of those fires have been contained to small spots, strong winds and dry conditions have allowed several to grow rapidly.
This morning firefighters are battling 11 major wildfires and complexes with 6500 firefighters on the frontlines.
A Red Flag Warning remains in effect for most of the foothills and mountains of Northern California and the Bay Area due to the possibility of dry lightning in combination with gusty winds.
The public is asked to cautious during the Red Flag Warning and to do their part in preventing wildfires.
