So today was truly insane. I’m finally home and can recap the surreal experience I had. I’ve been reporting on fires for the @latimes for four years and I’ve never seen one like this. #WoolseyFire 
I thought when I started my day that this huge cloud of smoke was the worst it was going to get. Traffic was super jammed up on the PCH, which meant there was no turning back unless I wanted to be stuck in traffic for 5 hours
Then, I reached Zuma Beach, where I saw a menagerie. There were horses, llamas and even a very unfriendly hog.
And there were dozens of people here. Many of them were trapped at Zuma Beach and forced to watch their homes burning. One man said: “I can’t look. I just can’t bear it. All I see is orange up there. My house is gone.”
And despite everything they were dealing with, people were still willing to be interviewed. When we lost cell service, someone let us borrow her phone so we could send interviews to the newsroom. So much kindness in the face of so much loss. I’m so thankful.
