Winds and Wildfires

We had crazy winds around our house to exceed 50 mph! At one point this afternoon, our neighbor came by to warn me that part of my rain-gutter was readying to fly off. A fire broke out near Aspen Park - a long ways from our house. Went from 5 acres this morning to 200 acres this afternoon; now they're estimating 3000 acres.


Smoke has blown all the way into our area, along with ash falling from the sky. Reminds me of the wildfires growing up in San Diego. I took a couple shots of the smoke as we could see it from our home as it blew in. The whole house smells of smoke now.


We pray for those whose homes are in danger, and the firefighters and that are trying to save them.
