This reminds me of the Oakland Hills fire. It looks like Dante's Inferno at night from the air.

CNN reporting saying fire people saying it's not homes burning but brush and lawns. Yet before my lying eyes I'm seeing houses burning.

Here's the thing, houses have propane tanks outside, oil tanks in their basement...that sort of thing. Let a flame hit something like this and boom, that house is gone.

My house burned to the ground when I was a kid. There are no words, and I fancy myself a wordsmith, to describe the bottomless pit in your stomach as you watch your house and everything...EVERYTHING you have, burn to the ground while you stand by helpless.

I lost every stitch of CLOTHES I owned, no shoes, no nothing. Brings back those horrific memories.
