Lightning Sparks New Fires and Floods | Fresno News
Description
A massive wildfire in Inyo County, the Rock Fire, is still raging over 11,000 acres with just 30% containment, but a sudden thunderstorm Friday afternoon turned things chaotic—lightning sparked dozens of new fires near Red Mountain, which merged into the new Cinder Complex Fire, now burning over 1,000 acres and completely uncontained. The storm also forced firefighters to shelter in place and triggered flash flood warnings across the region, including for popular campgrounds. Evacuation orders are in effect for several zones, with widespread warnings as residents face a dangerous double threat of fire and flood.
