MONO COUNTY, Calif. (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire in a picturesque California county along the Nevada state border has damaged 15 structures, prompted evacuations and forced the closure of part of a highway on Thursday as firefighters worked to contain it in the face of strong winds.

According to Cal Fire, the Pack Fire ignited Thursday at 12:25 p.m. Pacific and fire officials confirmed 28 structures were destroyed by the wildfire and five structures had been damaged by the wildfire.

Hours after the wind-whipped Pack fire ignited in Mono County on Thursday afternoon, damaging homes, a storm rolled in, bringing with it much needed precipitation.

A new wildfire was reported today at 2:46 p.m. in Los Angeles County, California. The wildfire has been burning on private land. Currently, there is no data on the containment status of the fire and the cause has yet to be determined.

In less than 24 hours, California experienced nearly a dozen weather and natural events - heavy rain, flooding, lightning, snow, high winds, landslides, fog, blowing dust, wildfires, a rainbow and an earthquake. And this came just one day after the aurora illuminated skies across the state and much of the nation.
