On Fire

My state is burning.  Yesterday it went from voluntary evacuations from Los Alamos to mandatory evacuations.  Las Alamos National Lab is closed.  We have evacuated horses at our barn.  This is an area that ten years ago was devastated by fire, and the Las Conchas fire is much worse.  There was some rain up north, but nothing around Santa Fe were we have two giant fires burning.

Nothing near my house, but unless the summer rains come soon that could change in a heartbeat.  This is apparently the worst drought since they began keeping records back in the 1850's.

I could cry.

We've been through that kind of thing here in San Diego. Two friends of mine lost their house in our last huge fire. It's a really scary experience. Good luck to you and to everyone who's affected.
