Holy Smoke Batman!
This is the fire we can see from our neighborhood. It was started yesterday by target shooters and has burned 600+ acres. 400 homes have been evacuated.
We took a drive this morning to see how close it was to the neighborhood in Eagle Mountain. They were being evacuated. My friend Julie shared some of her pictures since she got a little closer. p.s. we know it’s not the best idea to drive toward a fire… which is why we still stayed far, far away.
It has been a good opportunity to teach the kids more about preparedness. We hope everyone is safe and they can get the fire out before it burns down homes. Today we are staying inside and watching movies and playing games. I took the picture of the red sun from our backyard which means there is a lot of smoke in the air.
I keep wishing for one of our fabulous 4:00 daily Florida rain storms. Utah could use some rain.
Rain CLOUDS Rain.
Worrying about you. How is it going? I keep checking news updates.
Glad it’s far from you. It will be a long summer of fires if it stays so dry!
