COBB, Calif. (KCRA) —A fast-moving wildfire burning in Lake County exploded to 50,000 acres and has destroyed hundreds of homes, Cal Fire officials said.
Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said more than 100 homes were destroyed by a wildfire that exploded in size within hours. That number was updated into the hundreds Sunday afternoon.
Berlant said wind gusts that reached up to 30 mph sent embers raining down on homes.

There seem to be quite a few homes destroyed on Deer Hill and Greenridge. Don’t know about the rest.
other towns mentioned in this thread so far.....
Cobb is a census designated place (CDP) in Lake County, California, United States. Cobb is located 1 mile (1.6 km) northwest of Whispering Pines,[3] at an elevation of 2631 feet (802 m).[2] The population was 1,778 at the 2010 census, up from 1,638 at the 2000 census.
Hidden Valley Lake is a census-designated place and gated subdivision in Lake County, California, United States. The population was 5,579 at the 2010 census, up from 3,777 at the 2000 census.
Watching reports now, the fire hydrants have now run out of water.
Democrats have constructed an inferno with no off switch.
Don’t be an idiot. Lake County is a poor rural community full of ranchers, contractors— working people. It’s a community where people still rely on others and on God. Stop flaunting your ignorance.
Damn per google maps....... thats at least 2 blocks into the denser part of town ,,,surrounding that area are blocks of homes surrounded by lots of trees
seriously, i can’t believe people actually believe God had anything to do with sending the fire. thats nuts. sorry, but it is.
I was going into Hidden Valley last night while it was being evacuated. I couldn’t believe how much ground the fire had covered in such a short amount of time
Anyone who knows who God is knows that He is in control. He doesn’t set fires but He does allow things like this for His purposes. Do I know WHAT His purpose is? No. I don’t need to. God is in control. Always.
A very large % of Middletown’s and Hidden Valley’s residents were out of town at the Peewee, JV, and Varsity football games yesterday out in Ft Bragg on the Coast. Lots of animals left behind. Hwy Patrol shut down the rosds going into Hidden Valley early on....
Well thats the essence of their politics summed up, isn’t it?
When you turn away from God and worship politicians instead, whose policies are bound to hurt you, it is not good for your survival. For example, due to California insane liberal worship and their insane environmental policies, they have no water and they all know, they are already a fire zone.
Not funny.
Weather channel will be covering at 6:50
wow!
That’s terrible.
For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Amen.
“..................Pure politics to benefit Democrat constituencies...in this case eco nazis...it’s a vote buying scheme.”
Absolutely.
If Cobb is gone, can I assume the geothermal sites in the area have been hit?
Amen. I love your About Page btw.
