@On It    I feel for you!   I lived in CA for over three decades and went through fire season many times, including being told to be ready to evacuate at any moment.  

I'm sure the air quality is terrible.  Please take care.

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this. Wishing for your safety. I will be glad to hear when you are on the road on your way out. It looks close from your photos. Good luck to everyone in your village.

This is from the midtown camera. It is supposed to be a view of the mountain.

Please stay safe.

Updated evacuation list. These are West of Highway 48.

Oh that is so scary. I have a brother who lives in Cali and he has had to evacuate a few times previously due to fires, and everyone's worry meter was pegged to hyper-worry. It turned out well for him, and I'm wishing you big luck that everything turns out OK for you too.

We've had some doozy wildfires here in FL, but nothing right on our doorstep. Though we sometimes do have the strong smoke smell, and I remember ash raining down on us before while at the beach, the actual burn areas are on the other side of the Intracoastal.

I also can't help but think of your recent post showing the new elk babies and am worried about them too. Hopefully they will be safe.

The Upper Canyon area which was the first to be evacuated is at the end of this street.

Why are you posting right now?! It seems nuts! 

Please go somewhere safe.

I only just heard of this fire spreading on the local news, then came online to find your situation. Shocked to read first hand information. 

The photos are so frightening. I hope it can be contained soon and that you and yours are safe.

It's a beautiful area with lots of wildlife. I hope they flee in the right direction and can escape.
