But it also was a frightening few day's for many People having Homes in the Mountains . Where I'm glad I don't and can feel a lot safer , from such happening's .

First Photo is right from the Driveway of my House .
The second and third are from the Shopping Center , about a mile from my House .
Pretty scary , to think the day after this Fire had grown to twice the size . But it moved to the East away from Palmdale towards Victoville and Barstow .
You can imagine the Air quality was pretty bad and everytime I came out of a Store , my Car was covered with Ash . Having 100 degree's temp . already and a Fire that size near you , made it for a couple of " HOT " day's .
Fabntastic pictures Arnold, glad to hear the worst of it is a dirty car for you, must be sheer hell for the poor folks going through that.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures look like they are straight out of a disaster movie!
You're right Irish . It does seem so much closer than it actually is . That Fire is about 25 to 30 miles away from my House . Haha , all that is missing a Tornado coming out of that Cloud . Tha day that Palmdale ended .
ReplyDeleteIf it gets much closer, you will be pulling out the hot dogs to have your own outdoor BBQ! I agree with Irish that it looks too much like a scene from a disaster movie.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was out there to visit California quite a few years ago, it seemed like most of southern Cali was desert... is there really that much out there in those hills to burn?
Stay safe, Arnold!
Carl , some of those Mountains havn't burned in some 40 to 60 year's . There is alway's the high grass and desert growth and with no Rain to speak off , watch out . Ones going there is no stopping it , unless it Rains or everything has burned to the ground already . It's every year the same , just in different places . Usually started by Lighting or Idiot's .
ReplyDeletethose pics remind me of the San Diego wildfires we had only a few years ago. It's not a pretty sight and what a pain it is to get the ash out of everything. Glad to know your not in harms way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed , I am not in any really dangerous Fire zone where I live . I have to keep telling that to Qing , after she saw those Photo's . She does read my Blog , but can not comment on it .
ReplyDeleteIt's been pretty hard breathing here lately , all week long . It snmell of smoke and Fire is everywhere .
I would never want a house in the Mountains here especially , seems like a yearly thing .
