Peléan-esque Eruption Of King Fire

This was the view from Lake Tahoe yesterday evening as the sun set on the King Fire in full Peléan-like eruption as it blew out to the north in a big way in route to growing by over 300% over the course of 24 hours (from about 18,000 acres to nearly 71,000 acres).
