MINNEAPOLIS — Several Minnesota natives are facing the firestorm in Los Angeles County, California.

“We just tried to do the best we could before the whole back yard burst into flames we just had to get to safety” said stormchaser Tanner Charles on CBS Mornings. “These winds… I’ve never… it just felt apocalyptic.”

With one Minnesotan’s daring escape, another from St. Michael who’s ready to make hers.

“If it extends past the Beverly Hills and Bel Air area, our plan is to go down south about an hour inland,” said Mallory Sackey who lives in West Hollywood.

Sackey took this video from her balcony.

There’s a lot of sirens going off and you can hear the helicopters. Even more than typical LA,” Sackey added. “I think that’s the part that’s getting scary and concerning because now I can start smelling it.”

Kateri Wozny from Maple Grove says she’s safe at her home in Pasadena.

“I am concerned for my community and the residents that have lost their homes. They’ve been displaced and they have nowhere to go,” said Wozny.
