Paradise, California, 'pretty much' destroyed

The smoke is so bad,I can’t go outdoors for the second day. It’s really bad right now,so you have to wear masks if you are walking around for an extended period. It’s like a amber haze out,or like being in a billowing fireplace. And that fire is really far from the Bay Area near the mountains east of Sacramento,so I know it’s a super bad fire.

I’m in Yosemite, bad here too
Be careful & stay safe. :)
 
That town is about a 15 minute drive from Chico, CA where I went to college. Such a bummer.
 
Too bad to hear. It was a bad year for fires. Boise was blanketed in smoke most of the summer from all the fires going on in the west. Hopefully they can get some kind of containment going on with this one.

It’s moving too fast from the wind. They just have to wait for the wind to die down. I’m watching on a satellite replay...it’s smoke made a direct line for where I live and it just stays here,because the coastal winds push east. Those people never had a chance up there. Just fleeing anyway they can. The videos are something else.
 
Hey lunkin...wanna see something really scary?
This is how it really is in it. I know too....pooped my britches myself once. Check this girl out.


We drove around Paradise today, it is huge. We will be coming back by it tomorrow but the re-route is taking us the long ways around.

The fire in Malibu isn't too far from where we live now, tiresome dodging all of these fires :(

Of course it’s huge. I’m still in smoke in San Carlos 200 miles west of it. Did you see this girl escape this Malibu fire? I saw her other vid before she left her ranch which was engulfed too. Bravest damn little lady this side of the Mississippi. I love her to pieces.

I saw it but not sure why she was still there :huh:. I thought all the people had to evacuate a bit ago unless it was an older video. Is Calabassas going to be next?

She has horses and her mom at a ranch up there. She saved the 48 horses too. It just exploded on her. Same thing happened to me once.
I found the full video with sound.

And this is her at the ranch when it exploded on her.

The local news said Kim Kardashian & Lady Gaga had to evacuate their homes in Malibu. Just horrible.

Oh no. Please keep us posted that your home and family are safe. Will you have to evacuate?

Pretty much everyone did in those mountains. I’m looking at the fire map,and now I’m even more astonished that girl in my vid link got out alive. She had angel watching over her alright.
