People are being evacuated down to the Coast Highway.

now showing 5 or 6 hours engulfed in flames.
edit: the camera panned back - looks more like 15 or so houses now.
Hundreds have been evacuated.

6. Have you seen the footage? |
|
It looks awful.
Being fanned by 60+ mph winds, and growing rapidly. 0% contained.
