Live updates: At least 132 structures destroyed by Mountain Fire in Ventura County

In the midst of the devastation, people are left with more questions than answers.

Many evacuees were sent to a temporary evacuation shelter set up by the American Red Cross at Padre Serra Church.

Randy Hermans said he left his home on Wednesday, just as he saw a line of fire trucks racing in.

Many evacuees were sent to a temporary evacuation shelter set up by the American Red Cross at Padre Serra Church.

"You just have to pull over and give them the thumbs up, pray for them, because these people are driving towards the disaster, and I'm driving away."

Hermans said his home is about two miles from where the fire broke out but it wasn't damaged.

"We are very fortunate our house safe. We were there yesterday," he said.

Hermans is among the more than four dozen evacuees at the shelter.

Suni Pedraza has spent the last two nights there, hoping she still has a home.

"They are so nice. They are so well prepared, and they are treating us so like ... they are treating me like a princess," she said about the shelter.

But the same can't be said for all evacuees. So far, nearly 200 homes were lost in the fire.

"Everything is gone. I lost everything," said Sayeed Sikder, who lost his home of five years. "We don't know where we are going to go because we have no place to go."

The Red Cross shelter is not only a place for residents to rest, it's also where they can get the latest information on the fire.

The fast-moving Mountain Fire moved through Camarillo on Wednesday and destroyed dozens of homes.

Satellite images from Maxar Technologies show a part of a neighborhood before the wildfire swept through the area and the destruction after the flames destroyed homes.

The Santa Ana winds that drove the fire expected to subside by late Friday morning.

A red-flag warning expired at 11 a.m., but firefighters still have a long way to go.

According to CAL FIRE, the blaze is burning in steep, rugged terrain, with dry and receptive fuels, which they say have challenged containment efforts.

The Santa Anas are expected to return early-to-midweek next week.

Though the winds began diminishing, the fire continued to back in areas where it hadn't been tied into control lines, CAL FIRE said.

The Santa Anas are expected to return early-to-midweek next week, according to the National Weather Service.

A 3D map of the fire area shows where the fire started near Moorpark. Hot embers were able to be carried by the wind for three miles, allowing the flames to the jump the 118 Freeway. That's when the the fire made its way into more densely populated neighborhoods in Camarillo.

While you can't stop the spread of embers, there are other steps you can take to help protect your home. During red flag warning days, experts say small improvements to weak points around your home, such as vents and garage doors, could make a significant difference.

"When you leave for the day, close the windows in the house. Do things so that your house isn't so open and available and porous to wind or embers, or other issues that might present themselves during the day," said Yana Valachovic with the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.
