    Yeah it's jumping from tree to tree and moving fast. This wind blows. I wonder if I'll get a call from my fd to go help. I'm not back till Friday but we shall see.

    I'm currently taking pictures with the go-pro for a time lapse of the smoke from my house. I should have it up tonight or tomorrow morning.

    From our house the flames are coming over the hill. As the crow flies were less than 10 miles away. It looks like a red inferno from here. I have quite a few friends near the fire though.

    Ill post up some pictures.

    As well you should be. A fear that you might have to evacuate?

    Im not worried at all. Im in bailey about 10ish miles as the crow flies. Its going to have to make some serious headway before it gets to my house. Plus there is some pre burned forrest between us and the fire. Tempered wood doesnt burn very well.

    I was just thinking that area really hasn't had much chance to recover... Jeez!

    That live radio feed is nuts/awesome too. I love that they stream it like that, so cool!

    Yeah i know. We have been destroyed up here. The damage that is caused is sad but im lucky that our house hasnt been burnt down yet. The radio is awesome. Did you here about the thousand gallon propane tank that a tree fell on. That is insane!
