NOTHING like what is going on in Southern California though. Just an "average" wildfire can create its own weather patterns. I hear the winds in California are reaching 70-100 MPH??? Another thing people need to know and what MANY do not realize......These fires can get so bad that they can kill you well before flames and even most smoke reaches you. They are capable of pulling just about all of the O2 from the air sometimes a couple hundred feet in front of the fire line. It's compounded more for people on any hills. mountains or slopes.
Everyone in the area has my prayers for safety. If any of you out there are told to evacuate. DO IT! Fire Storms can overrun you quicker than you know.
