G-d. It moves like a blizzard of snow, but it’s on fire.
A thousand thanks to everyone who worked so hard to get people out.
It really is one of those scenarios where if someone didn’t film it, you wouldn’t believe it, because it’s just so overwhelming.
A realistic picture of Hell on Earth, Gerard. Thank God that most people escaped. And that you escaped.
On Sunday, November 4, five days before the Camp Fire, I had occasion to be in Paradise. Both of my children were born there in a small hospital that was licensed for ob/gyn before Feather River Sanatarium became a full service hospital. I drove by the little hospital which had become a nursing home. I took pictures. Four days later all was gone. That brings the fragility of life pretty up close and personal. .. . but not nearly as personal as the body cam footage. Even though I had been evacuated less than a month prior to this event by the Carr Fire a few miles to the north, nothing I experienced came close to the immediacy of that footage.
That video looks like a slice of time taken from entering the vestibule of Hell to walking toward one of the darker corners.
