I took this photo from the open door to my garage. Just saw the first mention on this fire on Twitter and it looks like it just exploded. It is an extremely rugged area and is probably in a canyon that is acting as a fireplace. It is close to the major road into the mountains here. They’ve already posted mandatory evacuations for one community. I am listening via Internet radio to the authorities deciding where to establish their command post right now.
This is very bad news.
