Station Fire.

I'm in southern California visiting Dad and Nancy, watching the "Station Fire" from about two miles away. The whole mountain is on fire! We went out onto the roof last night with binoculars to get a better look, and as we came back inside, we realized that our hair and clothing reeked of campfire. This morning we awoke to air, thick with smoke.

The fire start on Wednesday. I arrived on Thursday night, and it was already well underway. I've never seen a major wildfire like this, so it's been pretty intense to follow. I've included some pictures that I found on ktla.com, which pretty much show what it looks like from the roof at night.
