That is crazy! I hope they get some relief soon.
We had exactly the weather I was hoping for at the start of the weekend. The smoke cleared out a lot - but today (Sunday)it is heavier again.
Years back when my city was in the grip of a catastrophic fire, the sky was black at three o'clock. Black, with only the flames to cut it. Over 500 homes were lost, and people and animals too.
I do hope the weather is kind to your firefighters.
How very, very sad. I hope the same - and that you never see such a devastating fire again.
I was thinking of Montana and you this morning, We've got things somewhat under control for the moment here. But fires could flare up anytime. So, so sad about the firefighters. I do hope the rain comes soon.
Glad to hear things are better right now there. We did get some rain, and yesterday was bright and sunny and beautiful. Some of the smoke has returned today though.
That's awful I can't even imagine all of the destruction these fires are responsible for. I saw the devastation once when we were traveling through Yellowstone. As a matter of fact it was the time I wrote about on Friday! I hadn't thought about that. I hope you get the rain you so desperately need! This is my anniversary this weekend, but sadly we won't get to return to Charleston this year. Just a quiet weekend at home will be just fine!
Happy Anniversary Rena - I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Because of a shift in winds, we've had terrible smoke from the wildfires here this weekend. I can't even imagine what it must be like closer to the fires. I'm hoping for some cooler temperatures and maybe even a little rain for some relief for them!
We had rain one night, and beautiful clear skies the next day - so nice to see the mountains again! Then, the smoke moved back in, and this morning it was so heavy that soccer practice could not be held outdoors. I love hot summer weather - but I too am really wishing it would rain hard for as long as it takes to extinguish the flames.
I hope you had some rain and humidity move in and stay. We had a huge fire here in San Diego/North County last year. We could see the flames fifteen miles away.
We had a brief respite from the smoke, but it is moving back in again today. Flames fifteen miles away sounds much too close for comfort! Thanks for your visit and your comment Susan!
