So, we're really close to this wild fire. We saw it start yesterday at around 6:00 p.m. We woke up this morning to smoke all over the place, and looked out our window and saw gawkers over at the walmart across the street. We packed up the kids and took some video and pictures to share. We are all safe, the car is packed just in case.
These photos were taken at Portola and Alton, immediately behind the McDonalds and next to the Ralphs Shopping Center:
This was taken at Walmart when we drove over. Our apartments are in view when I zoom out, you can see how close it was. The amazing thing about this video is how quickly the fire "jumps" down the hill. Very powerful force of mother nature.
I'll put up more photos when I have them, unfortunately our printer isn't sending the material to our computer. Stupid technology ;)
