You realize that's highway 99 and its backuped because of people evacuating off of the skyway in chico .

[@targetedindividual7931]

Driving down I-5 it's like nighttime right now, huge smoke plume.

[@angelfirelite]

This is so horrible I'm crying for these people, no matter if rich or poor so so sad. We need to love one another.

[@amandamcleod5378]

I hope that city bus is full of people

[@honeypie2555]

And as slow as they are moving you'd think someone might have let him know. People are so rude.

[@jstbig1]

And the trailer has the door handle out....

Here we go again :(

Governor brown has wasted billions of tax dollars.
We should have the best water tankers in the world to take care of this in 1 day
I want brown arrested

[@williamsmith3847]

@@loganpaulmason5601 Water tankers can only do so much. Regular controlled burns are the only reliable way of preventing wildfires.

*Oh no not again*
*Please evacuate NOW*

[@josephastier7421]

Maybe they should make the roads one way on both sides.

[@jenanjuice2003]

Joseph Astier ... the traffic is so congested on both sides, also the other side leads to Sacramento and many people commute there for work. It’s a complete shit show even without the fire

[@rngnv4551]

This is hwy 99 Northbound into Chico. The Southbound lanes while accessible are going to drag resources away from getting people in the immediate fire zone out of it.

[@1lagarti]

I live in sonoma county we can see and smell tge fire from here (4.5 hours away). I trully hope it ends soon. Im sorry to those that are suffering. Please evacuate when told please.

5/18 kids in my class live there

[@merrywalsh2809]

This is ridiculous. I would be driving down the shoulder to allow those behind me a chance to get out.

[@tiowilt]

Any news about Clark Rd between Paradise & Butte College

[@brendawaters7554]

Why would people be driving in the opposite direction of evacuation??

[@jenanjuice2003]

People say we are an earthquake state... we are really a wildfire state. Only witnessed 1 earthquake worth mentioning, but this shit happens every year

[@williamsmith3847]

Shake and bake.

[@cm6995]

I think the reason of uncontrollable wildfires (besides climate change) is the overdeveloping of housing in CA not meant to house people. It's just a domino effect from house to house trees to trees, dry everything just catching on fire and spreading everywhere. If you build on dry land over hills or forestry areas you and yours are likely going to become victims of either fires or mudslides. I don't remember wildfires being these bad and numerous in past years, but ever since population in CA has been increasing I've notices so have fires and destruction.

[@jenanjuice2003]

Claudia Moran , I just found out that my brother in-laws aunt and uncle both died in their home in paradise. 200 still missing. So sad

[@cm6995]

Come on dummies! It's an emergency. Its ok to use the wide shoulders to get out of there. Someone at the end of the line is stuck in the 🔥!

If anybody has any info about the status of Chico, please let me know!

[@TheNiand]

Chico is okay. The wind is driving the fire down the Feather River Canyon, towards Oroville. My son lives in Chico. The other one lives in Oroville, but he's at work in Chico right now.

[@missybella9046]

Live in chico. Been here only a couple mths. No mandatory evacuations here yet. Theres shelters here for the evacuees.

[@julieannedunnington8831]

All those cars look like they're headed to my house lol that road I thought was shut down!

[@jinjarogers1711]

If it's an evacuation anyone with a 4x4 should be driving along the side of the road on the dirt to keep the road moving better. If the authorities will allow it that is.

[@ahigatso2442]

Exactly! Someone at the end of the line is stuck in the 🔥!

[@deepbludude4697]

I keep asking my brother why he lives there he says its a good place he makes a ton of money spraying for bugs...
