>> i'm at dover mobile home park. we're southwest of the fire. and there is a shelter in place. and we did find folks outside watching this giant plume of smoke. and i would say this weekend it's gone from a deep, dark black smoke to a lighter gray. i'd say it looks rather ominous, perhaps good news is that at least from our vantage point, it looks like smoke is traveling up and to the southeast. but it's staying rather high. if that changes it could prevent more problems. i can tell you, i'm outside now, and i can't really smell, except for just slightly, smoke. so i guess if wind pattern holds this could be good news for us. and if it flows east it would be away from populated areas. we did talk with residents outside. and a group of young women jumped in a car and ran over to take pictures. and this has been a point of curiosity. and they're concerned about what might be in this giant plume of smoke. >> what is your relative distance? how far away, approximately? >> i'd say just by guessing i'm about a half mile south and west. and i'm watching this smoke go up into the area
