Just when I thought we were in a safe area, it has happened again---only this time closer.
There's a forest fire behind us on the mountain, and it looks like this time the wind is blowing it right at us. I noticed smoke in the air yesterday and saw water bombers and helicopters flying around. I just hope and pray that it is under control soon though. All the stress of last year is coming right back like a bad nightmare.
On top of it all, there is a 60% chance of thunderstorms later this afternoon. It is crispy dry here right now, and doesn't look like we have a significant amount of rain in the forecast anytime soon. Hubby and I are going to take a drive later and see if we can get some pictures of it, and see exactly where it is.
Here's a huge album I put together last year of the forest fire that threatened to burn us out of our home, and choked us with thick smoke.
