I live in the apt next door, left with my baby immediately, you could see and feel it from our bedroom window! Very scary waking up too!
Hope everyone is okay. My sister and her pets had to evacuate from the apartment complex just next door. Reallllly scary. Fire season is coming earlier and earlier.
