It is extremely hot outside. Because of that, calfire says they are going to have a tough time fighting this fire. In a few moments we will have a live report from San Bernardino county. Right now we want to take you to some live pictures there from this fire. You can see that structure right there has been destroyed. Its one of several that have been consumed. Yeah, we dont have a firm count exactly how many structures have been burned. 24 hours ago, cristina, we had live pictures of homes and buildings being burned by this fire. 1300 personnel. We saw an air tanker. The air attack very important today. Obviously still very dangerous fire conditions there . Have you noticed the fires that are breaking out, the humungous ones are in the south. Thats a function of the drought. El nino did not deliver at all this past winter. So the explosive growth. Of course, the weather conditions a big factor. Also the drought. Extremely dry. Taking a look at the temperature pattern out there and the fog, just limited to the coastline closer to Santa Barbara in that area. Taking a look at the one center close to the fire zone, it is already 94 degrees. Winds sustained at 11 miles an hour. That means you could have gusts approaching 20 Miles Per Hour. Of course, the terrain and access always challenging. Look at that humidity down to singledigits around 7 . So thats a big concern for the fire crews in this area. As far as the plan for today, take a look at the highs. Topping 100 degrees. Winds variable around 5 to 10 Miles Per Hour and humidity levels at 10 to 15 . We are down to singledigits in the fire zone right now. That will continue to be a big challenge for the fire crews. We had so much rainfall here in the bay area, northern california. Its helping us out a little bit in terms of of course, we have fires and the growth out there, but things very dry to the south. That fire has gone from a few acres to thousands of acres in a few hours. You talk about the humidity at 70 . Whats the number we would like to see . 100 . If you go to ocean beach they are at 7 . Yeah. That one site. They could be down to maybe 3 or 4 in some parts of the fire zone. You wish you could bring in the marine layer and transport that fog. You appreciate the work the firefighters have been doing. When you are in gear, trying to put this out in 100 to 105 degree temperatures, you got to feel for them. I mentioned 1300 personnel on scene. Eight air tankers. Eight choppers. The aerial attack underway. But the damage already being done. More than 24 hours after that fire first kicked up there near interstate 15 in San Bernardino county. Mark, thank you. We will check back with you in a bit. And moving now to another wildfire. This one in lake county. It is now 40 contained. In just over an hour the man accused of deliberately setting that fire and others will appear in court. Damin pashilk faces 17 arson related charges. The clayton fire has burned 3900 acres, destroyed 175 buildings and is threatening 380 others. Ktvus alex savidge explains what crews are now doing in the devastated town of lower lake was residents start to return. Reporter there is a lot of work that has to be done before evacuees can return. Fire crews are still going through some of these burned out areas and making sure there are no more hot spots. Nothing else that could reignite. We have been seeing calfire crews coming through and trying to pull out belongings from some of these burned out homes and businesses to save whatever they can for people once they return. There is also the issue of power. Pg e trying to get power restored in this area. I want to bring in Bryce Bennett with calfire. Talk to me about how soon all of those evacuees might be able to return to lower lake. Its hard to say. We have so many different agencies working on so many different things. Water, sewer, the power lines. Everything. We need to make sure its safe for the public to reenter this area. All those agencies working together to get it done as quick as we can. We dont have a timeline quite yet. Reporter you feel comfortable though, although you never want to get too comfortable, you feel fairly comfortable with where the fire is at this point . Yes. The fire is under control for 40 today. Crews working around, looking at hot spots. We want to get the hot spots taken care of. Today a probability of ignition of 100 . That means one single ember could start this fire back up again. Crews arent going home yet. There is a lot of work to do. Reporter now standing at 40 containment. Thank you very much. Bryce bennett with calfire taking some time today. Again, the scene here in lower lake is one where you have repair work, restoration work happening. Pg e crews are on the ground here. They are trying to restore power to about 700 customers who are without power here. Pg e says their goal is to get the lights back on to all of those customers before evacuees can return to this community. Alex savidge, ktvu, fox 2 news. On ktvu.

He says Police Officers at the scene told him it appears that castellani was beaten with his own bicycle helmet and that more than one person may have been involved.

Back now to our developing story on the blue cut fire raging in San Bernardino county. Right now more than 80,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. Victoria is live in the community of feeli in this afternoon. Reporter it has been devastating. This is a Small Community here. We are on hess road off the 138. You can see what the fire did to this community. Crews will be coming through with cadaver dogs to sniff for anyone who might not have gotten out because the fire blew through so quickly. This fire doubled in size overnight, growing now to more than 30,000 acres. This has really been challenging for firefighters to get a hold of because of the dry conditions and the wind in this area, which is just starting to kick up again this afternoon. It spread those flames really quickly. Officials called the growth of this fire explosive and said this seems to be the new normal for fire conditions this year. They plan to hit the fire hard today with helicopters and with air tankers. In my 40 years of fighting fire, i have never seen a fire behavior so extreme as it was yesterday. Rapid rates of spread. We have had spotting up to a half a mile ahead of the fire. We have a red flag warning for the next several days for hot and dry conditions. Yesterdays actions were totally defensive on the incident. We were doing a lot of structure defense and we are trying to get ahead of the fire to protect the affected communities of keenbrook, liddle creek, wrightwood. Reporter firefighters from across california have been brought into fight this fire. We know we have crews also from northern california. Right now more than 1300 personnel are working to contain it. It is zero percent contained. Crews are assessing the damage. They dont have a count of how many homes with burned. Structures have been lost. That includes a mcdonalds on the cajon pass and the historic summit inn restaurant. More than 34,000 homes have been evacuated, and that amounts to roughly 82,000 people. I was able to get up this morning and get some eyes on it from the air. In a word, it was devastating. A lot of homes lost yesterday. There will be a lot of families that come home to nothing. If there is a bright side, a Silver Lining, there are some homes that were saved. Reporter back out here live, you can see the wind blowing and the smoke in the air right over the hill. Here is the community of brightwood. The Sheriffs Department is asking folks if they are asked to evacuate, that they dont delay. Pack their things, pack their animals and evacuate immediately. Live in phelan, fox news. And a quick question. We heard the firefighter in your report talk about how some homes were indeed saved. Is there a lot of structure protection still going on in other communities outside of phelan . Absolutely. Just driving down this road here, the 138, we see firefighters stationed at many homes in this community. Again in wrightwood they are trying to keep the fire away from those homes. Even in this community in phalen, we see some success stories. Some homes have been saved. They are just torched. One more for you. Flying drones has been a problem for calfire and they told people not to fly the drones around fire scenes. Have you had any reports over the last 24 hours of aircraft, because aircraft is critical on this blue cut fire, any reports of drones in the area . Reporter no. So far no reports of drones being able to hamper these fire conditions. Really its been the folks that have decided to stay back in their homes and not evacuate. That has been the biggest problem for firefighters because they cant get in. They cant do their job because they are worried about protecting the folks who have reduced to leave. Thats why the Sheriffs Department is asking folks to evacuate if they are asked to do so. Thank you so much. Reporting live from San Bernardino county. The red cross says more than 1,000 disaster volunteers are headed to louisiana to help with flood relief efforts. Its killed at least 11 people. Its damaged at least 40,000 homes. Reporter the floodwaters are slowly beginning to recede in parts of louisiana. As they do, the devastation left behind becomes more evident. Look at this home. A window busted out on the lower floor. Their next door neighbor, you can get a sense of how high the water was just by looking at the waterline on the house. You see the debris line on the window here. If my photographer keeps panning that way you can see it feels a bit apocalyptic when you drive through the middle of the road. There is a car stalled out in the road. A note from State Farm Insurance on it. We met up with katherine and her husband who is spending his 90th birthday without electricity and watching floodwaters rush into the home they have lived in for decades. They have no flood insurance. But it is their faith, they say, that is getting them through. We have some good neighbors. They have all been pitching in and working with everybody. I am grateful for that. And if people can come through for us, everything will be all right. But i trust god more than anything. Reporter the governor of louisiana says some 30,000 people have been rescued since last friday when those epic rains started falling. An estimated 40,000 homes across the state have been damaged in some way. A dawn to dusk curfew is in effect because Officials Say there have been reports of looting in spots. And there is some fear that the receding waters from in and around baton rouge will make its way downstream, creating problems for folks to the south. So all of the bayous, the streams and the creeks are being watched very, very closely. Thats the latest from baton rouge. Casey stigall, fox news. Lets bring in meteorologist mark tamayo. We have the fires here. The flooding in louisiana. I am curious. Any more rain in the forecast for that state . Right now, in fact, we have some rainfall developing in western portions of louisiana. So its just interesting. Backtoback stories. They could use the rainfall in Southern California where its completely dry. Obviously, excessive rainfall rates over the past few days for parts of the south targeting portions of louisiana. You can pick out the local radar. As mentioned, the western portions of the state of louisiana picking up more moderate to heavy rainfall in the form of some thunderstorms out there. Towards the lake charles area here. We will back the maps out and show you active weather developing in portions of texas closer to the houston area. The forecast will take this into later today and into tomorrow and into a portion of friday. This is a forecast model showing you the rainfall increasing, targeting portions of texas of the northeastern portions of texas, thats kind of the extreme rainfall total through friday morning. They could have amounts approaching 2. 5 inches of rainfall. Still more rainfall in the forecast. Especially focused closer to lake charles. Even out towards baton rouge we have some rainfall for parts of the country as well. Well continue to keep an eye on the radar. For us we have a stable weather pattern out there. A typical summertime pattern with the clouds hugging our shoreline. There is that fog pattern closer to half moon bay. I think this has been one of the foggiest summers for the coast in recorded, at least in my mind. Daly city, portions of San Francisco, more sunshine breaking out over downtown San Francisco and for the rest of the bay area. Inland it is warming up already. Walnut creek 84. Livermore 82 degrees. San jose 8. Santa rosa checking in at 71 degrees. So patchy fog near the coast and bay. We are tracking this area of High Pressure offshore. Its strengthening and weakening over the next few days. Today cool coast. Patchy fog. Warm to hot inland. Lots of sunshine there. And then well just monitor some minor temperature changes over the next few days. But today take your pick. We have a big range out there. Santa rosa will go with 81 degrees. Triple digits to clearlake. The heat a factor there. Out towards vacaville 100 degrees. Around the rim of the base 70s to 80. Inland brentwood on the hot side. Upper 90s. San jose 91. Morgan hill 84. And San Francisco 65 degrees. Still some patchy fog especially for the western half of San Francisco. 19th avenue, areas to the west of that. Temperatures for tomorrow may cool off just a little bit. You can see the temperature trend. We will shave off a few degrees for thursday and friday. Looks like the cooling trend will continue into the weekend. So at least we are not talking about an excessive period of tripledigit heat in the bay area. Another hot day inland. Its nice to have those options in the bay area. The microclimate not much a factor today. Thank you so much. Well, coming up, a controversial plan to deal with the homeless in the south bay was just approved.
