An evacuee of New Mexico’s fires captured footage of a towering cloud of smoke blocking out the sky as the fire grew explosively on Monday.

Pamela L. Bonner was one of the thousands forced to flee their Ruidoso, New Mexico, homes on Monday. Bonner shot the videos in this post while fleeing.

The smoke was so intense it blotted out the sun, turning it an eerie blood red.

Bonner made it safely to Roswell, New Mexico, located about 75 miles east of Ruidoso.
