Please keep all the folks living near me in your thoughts and prayers. This fire is one of at least three burning near my home right now, though all are blowing away from me. It's the largest of the three at about 40,000 acres, is moving rapidly with strong winds and lots of dry fuel, and has already burned homes. Lots of people are evacuated and one of the major highways is closed. After almost 4 months of breathing smoke non stop from all over the rest of the west, now we are on fire too. We need rain and snow please!
