Being further from teh forest is a good thing.
The "big" fires tend to pick up burning embers and carry them forward sometimes dramatically so
Yes. On Wednesday, 10-14-2020, when the fire really blew up with strong winds, dry air and warm temperatures, I saw this little flare up north of me. I watched and knew it had been spotted as I saw flashing lights as vehicles tried to get to it. It didn't get out of control. On Thursday morning I could still see some smoke but no flames.

10-16-2020. There are a few of my trees. It's very orange out due to the smoke in the sky.
10-16-2020. I left my house under voluntary evacuation at 11:10 pm. I'm now staying at my son and daughter-in-law's. I have my three cats and everything they need, my ElliptiGO, my car record books, my PC, a bottle of wine and some cookies. I was in the middle of eating a yummy salad when the suggestion came to voluntarily evacuate. I knew I wasn't going to sleep if I stayed there and I didn't want to be told, "get out now!", later, and then have to leave my cats behind, so I got what I wanted and left. Hopefully I'll be back in the house by Monday, at the latest. There's supposed to be some nasty winds again tomorrow blowing the fire in my house's direction but by Saturday night there's some coming from the northeast, so it might stop it. It's just a waiting game. This 2020 is something else.

^At 11:09 PM, as I was leaving. Those aren't flames but the glow from some.
Had not planned on voting as part of our weekend activities but I passed by the location and it wasn't crowded so we headed out. The sun is out, but it's windy and feels like 41. Not my kind of weather. Sitting around too much. Need to do something, even if it's cleaning. Ick.
