HUGS backatcha! No, I am in no danger, but they arrested one young man who may be ressponsible for 675,000 acres. How ANY man could do this is well beyond my pay grade.

It’s about 5 miles away. Fortunately the direction of the wind is keeping it away from me.

Confirmed, Bro!
We have evacuees living with us for the duration. The fire swept past their place, we hope. They live directly across Hwy 92 from Karol George. Karol managed to get most of his livestock moved to Benson.
One of the TV shots shows the Canyon General gas station and the bare frame of a new pizza joint going in, with flames in the prairie in the background. That’s Karol’s place.

That’s too darn close! Y’all stay safe. Glad the wind is keeping the smoke away. We had some from a fire and it affected so many who had breathing issues.

Jinx will confirm; this is a Fire & Smoke Friday. Is it getting closer to you or is the smoke blowing you way?
To: LUV W; SandRat
I think SandRat answered this alread - it is getting closer to us. The fire crossed Highway 92 and is burning grasslands now - the wind is pushing it northeast and southeast in two prongs.
The TV station said there are 1500 homes at immediate risk as of 5:00 this evening.

I'm going to try something, don't know if it will work or not. This is from a friend of a friend's friend's Facebook page...someone said it looks kinda like a volcanic flow...I think it's from last night.
