take a look from sky 7hd high above. look at those flames raging up, and the smoke that is coming from it. lilian kim is live near the fires. she has the latest on the effort to contain them. lilian? >> ama, the two fires are burning north of us, and that's where hundreds of homes were evacuated. people we talked to said they had minutes to leave their homes. the fires continued to rage as night fell. this was the view from highway 20 westbound. the two fires started late afternoon. the so-called walker fire is burning along the county line while the much larger y fire is burning closer to the town of clear lake. they fled their homes after firefighters issued an evacuation order for the spring valley subdivision about 15 miles from the town of clear lake. >> we could see the orange and the black. we could see some trees that were on fire. and we couldn't see anything in front of you. you could just see where the different billows of smoke

should make significant progress overnight. live in lake county, lilian kim, abc7 news. >> thank you, lilian. the weather conditions are crucial in determining the strength of these wildfires tonight and tomorrow. here is meteorologist leigh glaser. leigh? >> you probably noticed in lilian's report that all of the flames are shooting straight up indicating little wind in the area. the fire though creates its own wind and funnel situation. the temperatures are 80 degrees near the y fire and 77 degrees for the walker fire. it is low at 22%. they are 27% at the walker fire. but very little wind. you notice southwest at 5 and compare that to southwest at 2 miles per hour. earlier today clear lake had a high of 100. conditions tomorrow and the temperatures are near 100 degrees. so those firefighters definitely had their hands full. it is going to be a hot day there tomorrow. >> thank you so much. we do want to share an awesome

image that an abc7 news viewer shared with us. it gives us a sense of how the fires spread. you can see the path of the smoke is just following the flames. it is incredible. it almost looks like a volcano. the smoke from both fires appear to form one huge plume of smoke. we have some photos to show you. he september us this picture as shown from across the clear lake. another viewer had a close look at the smoke and it is close to backyards backyards in that photo. and leslie s took a huge picture of a cloud of smoke as seen from her backyard. we do invite you to share your photos and video of the fire. send them to you report at kgo-tv.com. >> and we will continue to update out fires. firefighters put out a grass fire in vallejo tonight. it broke out around 7:00 p.m. and burned a hillside around columbus and redwood parkway. it shows a thick plume of smoke as crews on the ground

>> ama, we have been following gas prices at this gas station at lombard and law laguna for the past couple days, and just since thursday gas prices have gone up 6 cents. >> gas prices are up and people are fuming. in the bay area most people pumping gas feel it has something to do with the refinery fire. it took hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil off the market. but car lean -- carline doesn't buy it. >> what can we do? we are de pen -- dependent on fuel. >> the drivers are trying to make due until maybe prices come back down. >> we are putting $20 into the tank instead of filling it up all the way. that's the biggest difference. it is just trying to conserve as much as possible. thisdustry analysts say this spike is due to a series of miss fortunes. they pointed to a refinery fire and other refineries

across the country. they say the drought in the midwest and the south has dried up a huge portion of the nation's corn crop, so those prices will rise as well. the gas additive ethanol is derived from rn could. it -- from corn. prices have gone up some 27 cents in the last month alone, and they could go up another 25 crebts in the near -- 25 cents in the near future. so he made a decision. he traded his ford expedition for the fiat. >> let's say $100 to maybe $30. so a $70 difference and a lot of cents. >> people like kelly mcgee are still feeling the pinch. >> how much does it cost you to fill up? >> probably $55. so that's 110. >> oil industry experts tell ab cl news to expect these high gas prices to last until after labor day if not longer. thomas roman, abc news. >> thank you. tomorrow federal investigators

care. >> the sprint to the finish of a presidential campaign usually kicks off on labor day , but it is going to feel a bit like that tomorrow with candidates and campaigns fanning out across the country. >> the scheme to keep this election of paul ryan as the vice presidential nominee secret was a real cloak and dagger affair. abc news had a reporter camped out in front of ryan's home in wisconsin on friday. he was dropped off by an aide and then said he lost his keys and went around back to get in. actually he head to the woods. >> iting bays up to the house i live this now. i know those woods like the back of my hand. i just went out my backdoor and went into the woods i grew up playing in. i walked over to a tree i built back there and wept out next to the driveway that i grew up in. >> the aide who dropped ryan off was waiting for him. ryan was driven to an airport. he was then driven to virginia to meet up with the romneys.

jarring. >> i experienced it in my own jeep wrangler. watch what happens to a producer. the vehicle hits a bump at 50 miles an hour, and here comes the shaking. the steering wheel vibrates and you can see the wheels wobble and it stops when the driver slows down. the i-team said similar people had a lot of experiences. we analyzed the database at the national highway safety transportation. since 1995 we found 600 complaints about jeep's wobbling or vibrating since 1997. no deaths have been reported, but at least five people report being injured. many express frustration when they could not identify a specific problem. >> if i were driving one of these cars, i would be terrified. >> our report got the attention of anna eschew and congressman henry waxman. they pushed chrysler to acknowledge the problem and advised them on how the problem could be ichs ifed.
