I heard about that fire last night, just after midnight. Winds were so bad, they said the fire was advancing to another area the size of a football field every SECOND! Scary! Wind has been pretty bad here, too, and my windows were rattling nearly all evening. It's been playing havoc with my allergies - but I'd much rather be hoarse for a few days than lose my home, etc. ...  At least the wind is probably blowing the smoke out to sea. Thank goodness for small mercies!
I just read that, as of about 20 min ago, it's now spread to over 45,000 acres - and growing. Some homes have been included in the more than 150 structures destroyed so far. Let's hope and pray they can manage to get a handle on this one soon! |
