Sorry for the size... I took these with my hacked iphone:
on the way to work, from Irvine towards the hills...
The sun...
More smoke...
The sun... MCAS El Torro is on the right
More smoke...
From the office in Foothill Ranch before we were evacuated...
Towards Irvine (dirty window lol)
Using
this map, the first pictures were taken on Irvine Blvd south of the 133... the rest were taken from near the "Foothill Ranch" thumbtack at Bake/Portola.

My dad was sitting in his front yard watching the fire come down the hill towards is house in San Bernadino. He said you could feel the heat from the front yard.

Wow. fire is pretty crazy.
Are you not able to resize using fireworks, photoshop, or even microsoft paint? I don't know much about hacked iphones.

These are from my front yard in San Diego...
October 22nd, 11:18 PM - view of Mt. San Miguel looking at the KSNBC repeater towers.
Second view of those towers at 11:37 PM - Fire cresting the mountain. We
were in the process of a voluntary evacuation. The fire would come with-in
400 ft. of my house, fortunately for us, there is a reservoir in it's path.

Ever since XP, I just select them all, right click, and then send to email. That resizes them all and puts them in a new email from which I can do whatever I want with.

Hey, thanks! It thought that it made the pic kind of cool, so I made sure the exposure was open long enough to capture some of the star light. The moon was behind me, and was super bright that night. I got some other photos with Betelgeuse in it completing the shape of Orion. I didn't post that one because the smoke wasn't as impressive.
It's hard to tell, but that mountain is about 2,300 ft tall from my point of view.
I was thinking that one of your first shots (#3 I think it is) looks worthy of a News Paper front page!
