11 dead as wildfires tear through northern California

An onslaught of wildfires across a wide stretch of northern California has swallowed up properties from wineries to trailer parks and ripped through tiny rural towns and urban areas.

Authorities said that at least 11 people are dead, with 100 injured, and as many as 1,500 homes and businesses have been destroyed. All three figures are expected to surge in the coming days as more information is reported.
