Just spoke to a man who lives up the street from this road block. He says when he left his home there was a wall of flames coming toward it. He thinks his house is gone.

Media is now being evacuated from here because fire is approaching. Moving closer to Lake Hughes.

Flames are starting to crest the hillside and are moving east toward Lake Hughes in rural LA County. This fire has burned 10,000 acres now. #lakefire @ABC7

As night falls, the flames continue to rage at the #LakeFire. The smoke is blackening the sky. @ABC7

The #LakeFire is just a couple miles away from us now. We are standing in between the fire and Lake Hughes in rural Los Angeles County.

If you listen closely, you can hear the roar of the flames coming toward us. @ABC7

I have never seen anything like this. The #LakeFire is moving fast toward Lake Hughes. It created a fire tornado on this hill and it’s sucking everything inside. @ABC7

Closer shot of the fire tornado. Shows the power of the #LakeFire. It is moving fast down Pine Canyon Road toward Lake Hughes. @ABC7
