Approximately 180,000 people are under evacuation orders due to the Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, California. The fire, fueled by winds in the area that topped 93 mph, has already destroyed 79 structures, including at least 31 homes.
The winds, which are reaching hurricane levels, are making the fire harder to contain and creating spot fires. Almost 300 trucks and 10 helicopters are working to contain the flames.

Nearly 90,000 people were evacuated Saturday, as the fire jumps over highways and roads jam up with people trying to flee.
