 We need rain!!!
We've got wildfires all around us...5 in all today. 3 were put out fairly quickly but 2 of them turned into huge, raging fires. People had to evactuate and they said on the news only one home has been lost to the fires so far. They called in the National Guard Black Hawk helicopters to dump water on the fires. One is fairly under control with the help of the helicopters, but another they figure will burn through the night and into tomorrow. They're bringing in National Guard bulldozers to plow down trees. That fire is so fierce it even jumped a river! We aren't in danger here, but there sure are a lot of people living in the outskirts of town where the fires are. It is SOOO dry here and we need rain something terrible. We may get thundershowers tomorrow. They say the only worry about that is the lightening. |
