California is currently engulfed in a horrific wildfire which has already burned across 500 acres of land while thousands of residents have been evicted.

It's led to the closure of roads and schools around the state while TV series WestWorld has also suspended production for the time being.

If you want to get an idea of just how bad things are, take a look at this Twitter user's video taken while driving along the highway.

Terrifying.

As one commenter said on the now viral video - "Nice to see they've built a highway on MORDOR".

Here's hoping that they get the situation under control soon and everyone can stay out of harm's way.
