They really come up with the best names for these fires when they call them a storm. The wind was so strong, up to 70 mph when the fires broke out. This is a view from the Sylmar/Sayer fire from my backyard. My camera doesn't do it justice. Later that night, the flames were huge, but my camera won't take night pics. 500 mobile homes along with 6 single family homes were completely destroyed, many homes and structures were damamged. The say this firestorm is one of the worst in California history since 1961. Even though the fire was still about 5 miles away...As always, I panic a little and pack my bag. I would hate to pray for safety and then not be somewhat prepared to leave in a moment's notice if needed.
