Video @lovey.hovey took today leaving the Feather River hospital going through the #Campfire. You can hear a tank explode (propane, water heater, etc). She's back home and the subie is peppered from burning embers and melted blacktop but thank the heavens all is ok. She's an example of how to keep cool and assess a situation despite the chaos that nature and other panicking people can bring.
