6. Yah. That's the smoke.

Yesterday, you could see the hills. Smoke in the distance. Today, engulfed. I just don't know which fire this is and where to find it on a map.

4. I know. It was the first site I brought up this morning.

They were even evacuating to Palomar early yesterday. By the evening they were yelling Don't go there!

9. Go to the main site, and check out some of the animations...

The cameras take a pic every 2 minutes, and the simulated animations are really something to see. You can actually see the fire line moving across the frame in some of them.

Scary.
