Wild Fires in California

No, I don't believe that we are in any danger. I seriously don't know much about the fires going on around here (except that it was arson). On Monday morning there was a fire about 5 miles from our place and there was talk about some evacuations in the stake. The fire is in the foothills and it would have to be REALLY out of control and plow through hundreds of homes before reaching us - so we are not worried. The sky was very dark on Monday (smoke) and when I left the house in the morning the sun was bright red. By the time I got back about 15 minues later - it looked completely different. These pictures were taken just after 9:00am.

It was interesting because when I was looking at the sky, the sun was orange but it doesn't show that way in my pictures.

The winds were really pushing the smoke in a southern direction so when I looked northeast - the sky was pretty clear, but southward it looked totally brown.

My back patio is COVERED in ash and the winds are blowing it all over the place. I'm just ignoring it at this point because it doesn't make sense to try and clean up when things are still going.
Anyway, business as usual unless we hear otherwise.
