California's lightning-sparked wildfires more than doubled in size into some of the largest in state history with one blaze advancing to within a mile of the University of California Santa Cruz
- California’s lightning-sparked wildfires more than doubled in size into some of the largest in state history on Friday with charred debris floating into Santa Cruz as flames advanced to the edge of the coastal city.
The state has been hit by its worst dry-lightning storms in nearly two decades. Close to 12,000 strikeshave sent fire racing through lands parched by record-breaking heat, forcing 175,000 people to evacuate their homes, largely in the San Francisco Bay area. A complex of blazes east of Palo Alto and another in wine country south of Sacramento are the seventh and tenth largest wildfires in state history, respectively, according to CalFire.

But Newsom said the federal government had agreed to invest a record sum in addressing just such issues.
