California Burning

There’s currently a huge wildfire burning not that far from where we live - Apparently caused by a combination of the Santa Ana winds and a “controlled burn” that, well, got out of control.

I had planned on grabbing my camera and heading out to take some actual photos of the blaze, but quickly realized that I really didn’t want to head towards something that everyone else was running from. So I hit up google for photos instead.

There’s no immediate danger of it actually reaching our house, but you can clearly see the smoke billowing in the sky during the day, and at night there is a faint orange glow in the distance. I’ve never seen anything quite like it, but what’s even crazier is that there is ash raining down like snow. Not much accumulation, but there is a chance of flurries in the late afternoon.
