looks liked a long way, since the car seemed to be traveling in the direction of red-lit clouds or smoke.
I was also wondering at what point asphalt roads would start to melt and make driving really difficult, if not impossible.

We have fires on both sides of the highway in Florida sometimes. They close that section and we can drive around it; not fleeing for our lives, like this.

this is not my video… I drove through fires a couple of weeks ago in California and Oregon but it was not as intense… these fires are so frightening and sad I understand that fires are a natural occurrence at times but this has gotten to a very dangerous level
