Firestorm 2007 at Harrah's Rincon Casino

I took this footage at Harrah's Rincon Casino from the 3rd level of the parking structure. The wind was crazy like a hurricane! This hit us about 30 minutes after I got the call from a family member that there was a fire in Poomacha. (Which is just over the hill from us.) We were evacuated to the casino. We got caught in the wind, ash, and embers.

@ SuperKooKooBananas -- well for one you are the one who looked it up to find it in the first place and second I lived through both the fires and almost lost my house in both, third my mom did lose her house in this fire. So count yourself lucky that you didn't lose anyone or anything.

Thanks for posting this video. I have been stuck up in Canada, and haven't seen much footage of the fire actually in Rincon. My sister and brother in-law lost their house and everything else in this fire, ironically they live right by the new fire station.
