Fires

[red321]

Looks like Santa Rosa/Napa have been decimated...1500+ structures burned.

And if you are in the Anaheim Hills area, hope all is safe...quick moving fire near 241 with lots of evacuations...91 east bound closed...and tv is showing at least a few houses on fire

Just found out a consultant we're working with had to evacuate from her house affected by the Anaheim Hills fire.  I know people at work and that I worked with in the past may be in danger of having to evacuate.  Hopefully they get the fires contained and reduce the amount of damage done.

Looking out my window right now and it looks like the apocalypse

LOL. So many broken windows.

Horrible. Channel 5 showing luxury homes burning. The reporter is right in front of the homes.

Incredible how quickly this fire has grown. The winds are enormous.

Homes burning on Canyon Heights Drive and firefighters are running out of water.

my daughter is in college in the napa valley. she said they've got tons of smoke and there's ash dropping on them from the napa fire. the school is still open for business but they're ready in case they have to evacuate. the fire's still a fair ways away from campus.

Terrible time for this with the winds we're having this afternoon.

Looking out of my living room outside and it’s orange , ash falling. I live on the border of Anaheim and cypress

Devastating.

Even in SF we woke up in the middle of the night and it smelled like a campfire and I had ash on an open window sill, and this AM the sky was black. 

I have friends who have lost their houses, and others are evacuated and don't know yet. One friend's entire winery along with their house is in the path.

So terrible.

[nando714]

Houses are literally burning to the ground , damn

That's an amazing picture, nate.

phone just starting bzzzzing...more evacuation orders. Tustin and Eastern Orange areas near the hills. Not sure if my phone is slow, or if these are new.

news helicopters seem to be stuck near the 91/241, but active end of looks to be headed toward santiago canyon road both up the 241 side and the other side closer to orange

Was at the gym and the footage was crazy.  In Santa Rosa county they said that 1,500 buildings were destroyed and showed some cars burnt down to the frame.  In Anaheim Hills they showed how one house was on fire in a community while trees/brush burned near by and other houses luckily hadn't gotten hit with any ash or embers yet.  That said the smoke was getting pushed hard in one direction and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the area.  The consultant who had to evacuate knows people who are right now losing everything they own.  About every phone in the office just went off with the evacuation alerts.

News is saying the fire started near Gypsum Canyon Rd and the 91.
