I can't imagine that whatsoever, I live nowhere near California, the worse that we get out here in Kansas is maybe the occasional brushfire, but those are exceptionally rare, even during the dry season.

It's the super fast, super dry winds that make these fires so mind-bendingly fast and destructive. That's nothing new for CA. What's been turning wildfires into monsters in recent years is all the dead, tinder-dry vegetation that built up over 5+ yrs of severe drought.

That sounds absolutely horrifying, hope nobody gets hurt.

Here's a glimpse of wind-driven fire. This is a different fire, the
#WoolseyFire. Those palm trees are huge, with massive trunks. Fun fact: Palm trees *explode* in wildfires. They are full of very flammable oils. They're also not native to California.https://twitter.com/Michael_Coons/status/1060788048969887746?s=19 …

I live in Chico. It went from 1000 acres this mornibg to 18,000 by noon. We had black sky all day. 27,000 people evacuated. It's gone into Butte Creek Canyon. If it jumps into Forest Ranch it will be disaster. We have fatalities. No number given yet. It's like watching hell fire.

So sorry to hear you're going through that. I've had a bad feeling about this one from the outset. One of the notable things is lack of news from the front lines, incl loss of life, injuries and property losses. I don't expect the news to be good when we do get it.

I’ve experienced it. It is a very ominous feeling when you are on the ground in it. It can be disorienting.
