From my vantage point on the valley floor, I see brown billowing smoke heading ENE right now. OK, what do you see?

Hi, lainie. Just found your post and question. The smoke from the mountains is hanging ominously south of us but not blowing this way yet. Devore seems to have come to life and the smoke is also coming this way slowly.

The local radio station that is fire-watching constantly just said (per the Fire Dept.) "worst case scenario, the fire could reach us in 24 to 36 hours so, if you feel more comfortable, pack your car". So I have put what I would take with me at the door, ready to go. Traffic coming off the mountains is nearly gridlocked on the only road....which is two lanes. Reports of drivers acting crazy, passing into oncoming traffic.........unbelievable.
