My family is safe.

Many of my friends will lose their homes.

Many other communities as well.

There are so many conflicting reports.

With all the technology there seems to be very little information.

IT WILL HELP THOSE WONDERING!”

Curtis wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of a house engulfed in flames.

Take care of each other.

Stay out of the way and let the firefighters do their work.

Pray if you believe in it and even if you don’t, pray for those who do."
