Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
If you ever wondered what one of our fires looks like, here's a fascinating video. This is of the "Holy Fire" named after Holy Jim Canyon area where it started. It is truly in my back yard - these mountains are where I bike every weekend. The video is from east of the hills looking west. We are lucky that it has been fairly calm (no wind). The only slightly positive aspect is that it appears they may have caught the idiot who started it. The guy's a real nut case (personal observation from people who know him).
They have live streaming cameras from Santiago Peak. Here's a pic of one of the planes dropping fire retardant. Those cell towers on the peak provide cell phone and Internet service for over a million people. Fortunately the fire appears stopped well short of the peak.
