in San Diego in 2003 while driving back from Las Vegas. It looked like that but with a lot more black smoke and a lot or orange in the sky. We have has our largest fires at the end of Oct. (2003 amd 2007). Thousands of homes burned. Some of my co-workers lost their homes in each fire. Schools were closed for a week each time which never happened before.
