Thursday’s sunrise brought horror to some and relief to others.
Here’s how the fires hit specific Orange County neighborhoods:
Laguna Coast Wilderness Park: Rangers said that as much of 95% of the 2,000-acre park was burned in the blaze, which also struck the wildlife and plant life hard.
Emerald Bay: Officials estimate at least 60 homes were lost in the gated community, which is at the north end of Laguna Beach.
Mystic Lane/Skyline Drive area: About 150 homes lost in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Coto de Caza: Fire officials said it is not in danger now. But the homes could be threatened if winds intensify.
Turtle Rock: Residents evacuated the Irvine village Wednesday night when flames approached. Many spent the night at Woodbridge High School before returning to their homes Thursday morning. No homes were destroyed.
UC Irvine: Some dormitory and apartment residents voluntarily evacuated their dwellings on Wednesday night. No damage to the campus was reported.
