James you talked about a 1000 homes threaten about a 1001 because you can see this home right behind me were off a 29 between saint helene and calistoga and you can see the flames on the hillside and standing right in front of the flames is that how so cal fire. They have a couple of crews there trying to say that home one on top of the hill, one of the bottom of the hill. Embers are everywhere and i got to tell you boots on the ground here. It is smoky here today breathing is more difficult than it was yesterday. So it is getting a lot worse.

Trees are falling d
