NewsWind-driven, lightning-stoked wildfires tore through every Bay Area county except San Francisco on Wednesday, rousting residents out of their beds, destroying dozens of homes on the outskirts of Vacaville and threatening hundreds more from the Wine Country to the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Carmel Valley.
Homes were also burning Wednesday afternoon in the town of Bonny Doon, just north of Santa Cruz.
