Well I am back and no evacuation. We have a big fire going and they were going to evacuate my block but stopped two blocks short as the fire has changed directions and is now going toward the lake and those canyons. I have been watching the borate bombers and helicopters until it got so smoky I had to come inside. If it gets into the canyons over by the lake and dam, they will have a huge mess as that area is just completely covered with dead brush and trees that the tree huggers stopped them from removing two years ago. Then add the wind the fire generates to that and if it becomes a crown fire and we will have a big disaster. Everyone around here has been afraid of this for the past two years and especially with the heat and humidity we are having now. But the smoke has actually caused the temperature to drop as the sun is blocked.
