you're seeing. >> well, hi, dan. i'm in this tiny community of keswick, a much different community than it was 24 hours ago. this is one of dozens of homes here along the main residential street that have been completely leveled by this fire, as we look through some of this rubble, we can see only the remnants of the life that existed here before last night. it's clear from driving around this neighborhood and others west of redding the damage from the carr fire is much greater than the official numbers. here in lake keswick estate, home after home has burned to the ground. dozens in all from a fire that ripped through here in the overnight hours, driven by dry fuels, low humidity and high winds. >> everyone likes to say they produce their own weather. but basically, when these fires start rapidly growing at this speed, they burn incredibly intense to the point where it's

almost unsafe to put first responders in front of them. >> up the road just few miles, an entire community has been lost. the small town of keswick, population less than 500 people completely demolished. according to a pg&e survey, just two homes here survived. just west of redding at the shasta historic park, several historic facilities burned, including this old brick schoolhouse, a brewery and a cemetery. and down the road, this goat was left all alone, a lone survivor it appears at a property that was completely destroyed. >> they're painting on the next ridge over. >> and the carr fire is far from finished. this team of firefighters from the bay area is keeping a close eye on the homes that survived in lake keswick estate, even as the flames slowly work their way up a hillside of oily manzanita and dry pines, perhaps the calm before another firestorm. >> right now you can see we've had some of the inversion layer

lift up a little bit so the smoke has raised up, and it's allowed some preheating of the materials down below here, the trees, the manzanita especially to get some oxygen back into it. and that's why you're seeing the fire start to flare up a little bit. >> now keep in mind that all of this debris was created less than 24 hours ago. i can tell you where i'm standing right now, we can still feel the heat. now there was much concern about some winds that might materialize, high gusts like we saw at this time yesterday. i can tell you so far at least where we're standing, we haven't seen those winds. we're also expecting new numbers, the number of homes and structures destroyed, expected to go much higher. near redding, laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> sadly we do expect that. all right. laura, thank you so much. this is one of three major fires burning in california. the director of the fire weather research lab at san jose state university says the danger is

extreme and the season won't slow down. >> our fuels are very dry compared to what they should be in july, and so we can expect probably in september and october to even be worse because that's when the fuel moistures bottom out, when the fuels are the driest. >> and take a look at this. people in redding have been seeing firenados. wind can pick up burning embers and other flammable debris and then just shoot them up and spread them out, creating new fires. >> apocalyptic when you look at it. let's continue with spencer christian with an update on the conditions in red aring. spencer? >> okay, dan. let's go right to the map right now and show you current conditions. it is hot, it is dry and windy. 98 degrees is the current temperature reading. very dry with relative humidity down at 24%. it may rise a little bit during the evening hours, but not expected to increase significantliment steady wind out of the south-southeast at 9 miles per hour with gusts right now to 15 miles per hour. so all of these weather factors

are complicating the containment effort. now, as we look at the next 24 hours, our projection for surface wind shows the wind is going to be quite strong through most of the evening hours. up near 20 miles per hour at times. diminishing gradually during the overnight hours and bottoming out in the midday how's tomorrow. temperatures for the week ahead in redding will remain almost unchanged. 110 degrees will be the high tomorrow and sunday. 108 degrees on monday. so it's going to remain hot. the relative humidity will remain low, and wind is expected to remain a challenge to firefighters. dan and kristen? >> okay, spencer, thank you very much. >> numerous neighborhoods in and around redding are evacuated this afternoon. this map illustrates the evacuation zone. the fire you can see in red, but the gray areas surrounding it are the mandatory evacuation areas. >> abc 7 news anchor dion lim is live at shasta college where some of those evacuees are spending an anxious night, dion. >> that's right, dan and

kristen. underneath this dark orange hazy sky, the ash is starting to fall like snow. take a look. it is all over this car in the parking lot, leaving this dark ash behind. it is reason why more and more people are donning face masks like the one i'm holding right now. behind me you can see a steady stream of evacuees that are continuing to go inside the campus. you can see also the insurance company tents assisting people who have lost their homes. now for more than 550 people here tonight, this will be their home for the inevitable future. families with suitcases, pets, and anything else they could carry have descended on shasta college. >> i miss home. and i'm hoping nobody else loses their house or their life. >> the site of several evacuation centers set up by the red cross. the triple-digit temperatures especially doing a number on those with existing medical conditions. >> it's kind of tough for me too because i have epilepsy.

so i -- it's tough for me dealing with the heat and everything. but i'm trying to look out because i'm still kind of a young guy, trying to look out for my mom and all them first. >> air conditioning in the gymnasium push food the limits, many pasted out on rows of cots from the swelte heat. getting everyone medical attention is the red cross's first priority. >> i think there were two urgent care clinics that were evacuated. we are operating a medical facility here. >> in the chaos, jenny mortenson's husband jared went missing. >> he left at 6:00 this morning to go get a hotel room. and i told him he needs the stay here because he is not going to find anything. i just want my husband, and i want to know that he is safe. >> late friday, after more than ten hours of fearing the worst, an update. her husband did find that hotel room more than an hour and 15 minutes away in willow, safe and sound. what a relief. jenny and her family are reunited tonight. back out here live, as you can

see, evacuees continue to stream in, i can tell you people come up to me minute by minute, saying we need supplies. please put out a call for help. something pretty interesting. one woman approached me and said please, let everyone know there is a hmong population here in redding, so the need for a translator is very great tonight, especially for those with medical conditions. any volunteers who would like to step up. they also especially need financial donations. in redding, i'm dion lim, abc 7 news. >> okay, dion, thank you. we know people will respond. facebook has activated its safety check feature for the carr fire. you can check to see if any of your friends are in the affected area, and if you have marked themselves -- if they have marked themselves safe. a hotline has been set up to track and find people reported missing in both the city of redding and in shasta county that is 530-225-4277. we'll have that posted for you on our website, abc7news.com. a pair of wildfires, meantime, continue to grow right

although some inland locations might not cool down below, about 60 degrees. then tomorrow look for a mainly sunny day, even along parts of the coastline. highs will range from upper 50s along the coast to upper 60s and low 70s around the bay. mainly mid to low 90s in the inland. and the usf marathon this sunday. it's going to be a cool, breezy and foggy morning for a marathon, which is probably good running weather if you're going to go that long. >> right. >> here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. temperatures will drop off a couple of degrees inland, beginning on monday. and we'll have a nice steady pattern of mild weather with wednesday being the coolest day in the forecast period, and the temperatures will rise back in the low 90s at the end of the week inland next week. >> excellent. well, i was going to run the 26 miles. >> but this would be foggy, i'm not doing it. >> once you do 13, and i'll do 13. >> get larry to do seven. >> and i will watch both of you and cheer with appreciation. >> all right. what you got? >> in sports, jon gruden back for the sequel with the raiders. day one of practice today. khalil mack, he is not there.

now abc 7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. jon gruden back with the raiders today, holding the first practice with the silver and black in napa. gruden has been off the field for decade, working in tv. so trading in his makeup for a clipboard now, getting up close and personal with his players on day one. the nfl much more pass-oriented

than when gruden was coaching the first time around. lots of new technology as well behind the scenes. >> i mean, i got a new remote. i like my old remote better. some of this new technology, i was a part of that in monday night football. they kept bringing me new technology, and the stuff we had was better. so you got to sift through what is better and what is new, and you got to do what's best for your team. so we're trying the do that. but it really hasn't changed that much. it's a hard job. it's a big job. and i know i got a lot to prove, but i got a great staff and guys that are keeping me updated with the technology and all the things that are changing. >> to an extent, i don't know if that man sleeps. i don't know if he slept yet. him and i have to be on the same page. him and i have to work the hardest out of anybody out here. if the head coach and the quarterback are the hardest workers, usually that's a good recipe. it doesn't mean a guaranteed success, but it's a good recipe. >> not wearing silver and black today. khalil mack, who is holding out

seeking a long-term contract extension. he is entering the final season j undcoff a 6-10 season, the raider need mack back on the field. gruden debunked an espn report that said he has not yet spoken to mack. >> consider what's drama. i've talked to khalil. those guys aren't always 100% accurate. i talked to mack when i got the job. i just haven't had a lot of talk with him lately. not much to talk about right now. sorry. >> obviously, we want him back. but, again, try not to step into that. he was over at the house and we didn't talk about it one time, you know. we played pool basketball, and i dunked on him. >> where is the video of that? on khalil mack. the 49ers in day two of training camp at santa clara. rookie offensive tackle mike mcglinchey making his presence felt with the fans. mcglinchey was high-fiving the fans and starting a "let's go niners" chant today. it's kind of what passes for rookie hazing these day.

with the niners every day, some designated rookie has to go pump up the crowd. look at mcglinchey. he was into it. even went up into the stands. and coach shanahan was pretty impressed. >> he did do a good job. that would be the first one, for someone to have to get better after that, it could get pretty bad. we'll have to calm him down eventually. >> the rookie they'd be most concerned about, breaking character and doing that. >> last year ruben might have tackled someone that made me nervous. and i would have thought mcglinchey, but he surprised me out there. he went up in the stands and everything. i don't think they were expecting that much to hype them up. but his effort was good. and maybe tomorrow we can hype the offense up little bit more instead of the fans. >> i like that tradition. college football news. alabama coach nick saban has won five national championships in nine years, and he is being paid like a champion. receiving an contract extension worth at least $74 million. saban is going to make $8.3 million this year. so he is once again the highest

paid coach in college football. jumps urban miers and jim harbaugh. just for comparonth governor of the state of alabama earns $119,000 per year. saban will make more than that every week. then again he's had a better year than the governor. >> no doubt about that. thanks very much. all right. join us tonight at 9:00 on kofy channel and right here for abc 7 news at 11:00. cal fire says there was a long way to good before this fire is out. we'll continue our live coverage of the carr fire in shasta county thousands have been forced the escape the flames. you're going to hear their harrowing story, all coming up later this evening. but on this subject, finally tonight, a few thoughts about what really matters. if what is happening across the state right now is any indication, we are in for a frightening, devastating, and

costly fire season. fire officials tonight are describng what we are seeing as the new normal in california. unpredictable, explosive fires that are all but impossible to stop. cal fire estimates there are 50 new fires breaking out around the state every day. you heard that right. 50 new fires every day of various sizes. more than 300 wildfires are burning in california right now. just nine monthsing ing ago, o friends and neighbors in the north bay endured hell on earth. if this is in fact the new normal, it's a terrifying prospect for all of us. the impact on lives and property is staggering, and the cost to continually fight them and rebuild from them seems unsustainable. in this new normal, what really matters is that we have some tough questions to ask and hard decisions to make. where we build, where we rebuild, how to better prevent wildfires and how to pay for all of it. always love to hear from you. let me know what you think.
