The story even got 30 seconds on the news over here.  Right along with Beyonce's twins.

Fortunately, compared to 'Murrican media, the BBC did a great job.

Horrific!

I've been following this on the news. Really awful.

A lot of people don't understand quite how fast a wildfire can move. I've seen them move upwards of 30 mph (50kmh). I could see one trapping cars on a winding road.

You, Poca, and families stay safe.

This is heartbreaking. Speechless.

A couple of those b52s loaded with water would help. Scorching heat and hot winds and hard terrain...

This.

I have my own experiences with wildfires and I know they can be terrible.

Is there any word of possibly evacuating? I wonder how progress goes on squelching the fire?
