PG&E has restored power to 90% of the fire-afflicted areas, but less than half of residents have had gas restored.
Firefighters in several counties are making progress containing the flames. Air quality is bad, masks are needed in some areas.
40 people are now confirmed dead. I don't know how many pets died, but I did see footage of one dog who found his way out of the smoke and got rescued yesterday.
Several wineries were lost, but many had systems in place that helped preserve some of their grounds and vines.
Today the winds are supposed to be the weakest since the fires started. Hopefully, the fires can be fully contained soon, without any more deaths and destruction of homes.
The fires appear to be largely limited to non-inhabited areas now; hoping it stays that way.
