    Imagine being stuck in traffic, flames leaping through your hometown, and a firefighter knocks on your car window says "get out, we have to go right now" and pulls you into a Walgreens as your best hope of surviving #CampFire #ParadiseCAhttps://twitter.com/engineco16/status/1060617219040718849 …

        I’m below in Chico with friends up there. It’s Paradise’s worst nightmare scenario coming true. So sickened with worry and concern, one friend trapped on main road out for hours now.

        Just spent an hour on the phone with my sister who was in gridlock traffic trying to get out with fire on both sides of the road. She was on Neal Rd. Panic was setting in. Cars finally started moving. She’s okay. Don’t know where her husband is. He went down different road.

        Lots of older folks up there, many in difficult to access areas and mobile homes. Some are waiting on top of a hospital helipad waiting to be saved. It's just terrible.

        I read that there are 60 people waiting at that helipad. That’s several choppers. Who waits behind for the next ride? So sad...

        How are they even able to fly?? My family is in Chico, many miles away, and the visibility is awful.

        Instruments. They do the same in fog. That’s when you really trust your gauges.

        There were two pulled from the shore, running for their lives as flames blocked their only escape route. This...in Glacier Park this summer, effectively closing the Going to the Sun highway, for the rest of the year.pic.twitter.com/SwvW1zs1Vq

        Not sure what your husband does but if he gets any information on where the animals/family pets are being taken to, will you let us know. My friend that had moments to flee her home in Paradise was unable to corral her 3 cats and is worried sick.
