Thousands of homes were threatened Sunday as the largest single wildfire in California history raced through hundreds of square miles of tinder-dry woodland and brush.
Erratic winds were predicted again Sunday afternoon. But the weather was expected to settle a bit starting Monday. Damage reports are preliminary because assessment teams can’t get into many areas, officials said.in the blaze, but by Saturday afternoon, authorities had contacted all but four of them.

"Many of them are historic, so we will report that out to the public as soon as we can confirm any losses." A federal judge ordered PG&E last week to provide details by Aug. 16 on the equipment and vegetation where the fire started.
“Every bit of that line needs to be constructed, staffed, mopped up and actually put to bed before we can call this fire fully contained,” Waters warned.
