Southern California on fire.
I swear the entire city of Santa Clarita (and pretty much all of Southern California) is on fire right now. Really scary when it's so close to home.

everyone is ok, a few houses on my street are burnt to the ground, really sad, but everyone is being super helpful and it's really nice to see people getting together and doing everything they can to help those who need it. thanks for your concern!

Flames were that close to my house too, but they started moving in the opposite direction. Nicely captured.
