Simi fire HAS jumped the 118 fwy -- voluntary evacuations of nearby homes at this time

I'm flipping between CBS2/NBC4/ABC7/Fox11 (thanks DirecTV); those "voluntary" evacuations are pretty much manditory now. The fire that has hopped the 118 is literally at the doorsteps of the homes.

All four stations are showing shots of the flames approaching the homes VERY rapidly. If you are anywhere near these subdivisions, I emplore you to get out now.

what a thing to wake up to. This is unbelievable.

I watch about an hour of Fox and Friends every morning before leaving for the office. There was virtually no coverage of the CA fires this morning other than a 30 second recap. Why this isn't news everywhere is beyond me. Thank you all for the updates.
