These fires evolve into plasma storms. Embers jump over a mile in front of the flame front. What works in Alabama will not work here. When fires reach 2000 degrees the drapes catch on fire instantly inside the house from the radiation.That's stunning. It sounds like something out of a horror movie.

It is very scary. I have seen them run up ridges at over 40 miles per hour. Trees will explode 400 or 500 feet in front of the flame wall. Especially eucalyptus which the is a lot of in Southern Kalifornia.
