On Saturday, I was out shopping (alone!) and noticed that the sky, which was the most perfect blue without a cloud in sight, had a plumb of smoke billowing over the foothills. This is our 4th fire in four weeks and the biggest yet. As of 4pm on Sunday, it is at least 14,000 acres, though most likely more.
View yesterday around 1pm from our front porch.
View from downtown around 730pm
Sunset aroun 845pm
Ash gathering in our back yard this morning.
The same view, just now, from our front proch. Ash is spinning around in the wind outside. It's hot, we don't have AC, just a fan, and the windows are closed. My throat already hurts from the smoke. Please say some prayers for rain! The wind is carrying this fire and making it impossible to become contained right now. Nearly 250 fire fighters are out there, lots of evacuations and several destroyed homes. So so sad.
