AN ERRIE DAY

    Woke up to this yesterday,
named the Holy Jim Fire located in the Cleveland National Forest,
a mountainous range in Orange County near us.
It looks closer then it was thank goodness.
Shockingly,
 no smell or ashes,
just a very scary looking sky all day and night long.
As of 7:00 last night it had burned 500 acres
but luckily no homes or businesses. 
Today the fire fighters report that only 30 more acres were burned
due to the lack of winds spreading it. 
For once we got lucky. 
The past several days the Santa Ana winds had been a problem but had settled yesterday.
And tomorrow brings rain and possible snow.
We got lucky this time.
This is how it looked last night as the sun was setting at 5:30 or so.
Strange.
