Terrifying Skywatch
This was the view from our house yesterday afternoon. It's a classic pyrocumulus cloud from the local wildfire.
And here was the view as we evacuated this afternoon.
Homes were burning a few streets from us this afternoon. We're all safe, but I won't be responding to comments on the blog this week. Visit Skywatch Friday for more sky photos.

Oh, Al! That looks terrifying!! I do hope you and your family are safe! Incredible, frightening captures!! Holding good thoughts for you!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry - we are watching on the news daily and you are in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteThe pyrocumulus is not the terrifying one, that is just the steam from the water dousing the fire, the second shot of the grey active fire cloud is the one that worries me. It is definitely better to preserve life than to protect property. My prayers go with you. Please, oh please stay safe.
ReplyDeleteOh Al as soon as I heard about those fires I thought of you . Please be safe. Obviously don't worry about responding, but I just had to let you know you are in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteOh, my. I hope and pray that the fire is soon under control. Thank goodness y'all are safe.

ReplyDeleteThat is true commitment to photo-blogging - taking shots as you're evacuated. I hope that you and family and your property all come through unscathed, and that the fires can be contained soon.
