I took these about an hour ago from my location in the Antelope Valley, 14 miles due West of the fire.

Looking to the West, toward the fire. Notice how the ridgeline disappears in the haze toward the right. (This is a digital telephoto shot, so the ridge is not quite as close as it appears.)

Looking East, away from the fire.

Both CBS2 and KTLA5 today aired dramatic fire footage from last night and this morning.
