Wow, that doesn't look good. What's on fire? Hope you, your family and property aren't in any danger.

Nice Mt.Saint Helen's you have in your backyard there!

I wish my backyard was that big, that would be awesome! I hope the fire is dealt with quickly and doesn't damage your property.

I hope you and your house aren't in any danger...

I hope that nobody gets hurt.

not my property per say, but i live right next to it ;p. i walk out my door and i can see it.

but ya where fine, fire is under control and the wind is blowing away from us.

here is a video, the phone is really good at picking up my breathing.

also my 666 post, and a perfect post to make with number 666

Wow.

That's quite a plume! As said, the smoke is flagging away from where the camera is, so that means no immediate danger (until/unless the wind changes). I live in one of the most fire-prone areas of the USA; basically in the northwest part of the Malibu hills (aka Santa Monica Mountains). We've been evacuated twice since 2006, and typically it's every 3 years that a fire comes this way. So this year, we're due or overdue .

Here are a few pics I took when the fires have gotten a little too close... The first one is exactly as it looked; no photoshop! It was about 5:00 in the morning as the sun just began to show above the mountains, and through a deep plume from a fire to the east.

This is as the wind shifted and began to come our way

And this is when it was blowing directly overhead, and when the real threat of burning embers raining down begins... If you look straight up and see smoke, start packing!

That's awesome.

Wow. I hope you stay safe!
