I can see the fires from my house. It looks like Sylmar has a volcano.
The wind almost knocked me off my roof while I took photographs.

The back end of the golf course has been evacuated.
"Little Tujunga Canyon
fire flares up; new evacuations issued in the area as winds continue to drive fire, The fire has made a run and crossed the 210 Freeway, the 210 freeway is closed for nearly twenty miles in the area."
I drive the 210 to work.
That wind is blowing towards the city.
