in terms of the smoke, it is overwhelming and the ashes pouring down on us. it is almost difficult to breathe and talk, honestly. if you are even close to this area, you will have to evacuate. it is just not livable at this point. if you have power, or even if you don't, wait until the fire fires -- wait until the fire dies down. if you see my hair blowing, you can see the winds gusting is really a problem. this is an incredible emergency situation. they declared a local emergency almost immediately after 10:00 p.m. they are trying to get a handle on it. this whole community, the whole city, the county -- it is facing major obstacles this morning with wind and dry conditions. at this point, it does not seem like the fire will be done. it's whipping through 200 acres and threatening hundreds of homes. we saw a stream of cars leaving. this is 4:00 in the morning, not people going to work, definitely folks evacuating. we saw several ambulances rushing out and we are not sure what that situation is. we are not sure if they're just getting folks out or whatever. w

so can england win the ashes without him?ikes of someone like jack kallis for south africa, it makes such a difference to a team when you have a genuine all—round position. obviously ben has been that for england for a couple of years. i think it will be very tricky to go down there and really win the ashes, but you never know, you never know. you can't rely on one person to ever win the ashes or win any competition you play in, but they go a role because of the long way they play, so because of the long way they play, so it would be a big loss. we will find out for certain in the coming weeks whether ben stokes will trouble with england. there has not been much rain in australia. it's long been the bane of our summer sport.
