Glad you are safe onxy. But isn't this weird? It's almost dark outside and it's raining ash. Very surreal.

If you have a digital camera, please take photos.

Surreal is the perfect word.

You're closer to the fire ---- no visible ash is falling here, but the air is thick. I went outside for a minute and started coughing right away.

Reminds me of the terrible fires in Colorado. We'd watch the ballgame on TV and it would appear to be snowing.....it was ash.

At one point the governor said....Colorado is burning.....very poor choice of words.
