"Lake Lure"
The winds have been up and we have not had rain in about thirty-five days now. According to the weather view, there are no chances of rain at least for another week.
Its dry, its windy.
We now have a "no burn" ban going on all around the area. Though I live aproximatly a hundred miles from these mountains, we are almost smothered by the smell while the smoke is filling the air. Its hazy and smoggy. The air quality in my area is at Orange.
I pray we get some rain soon, especially in the mountains of North Carolina.

I just sent up a prayer for you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe get fires each and every year. Terrifying, destructive things. I hope you get some relief. Soon.
ReplyDeleteWow! While they are actually pretty, they are sad.
DeleteOh that is awful but what beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI pray you get rain and the fires are put out.
I agree. These pictures are awesome and whoever took them did a good job.
DeleteWe don't see anything from it here in Spartanburg. I'm a kinda-short drive to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure
ReplyDeleteIsnt that wierd? I work at Stanley Steemer and we service from Lancaster to Boone to all the way up in Ashville. Spartanburg and Gaffney are more clear than gastonia. I guess its how the wind blows. Charlotte looks worst than here.
DeleteForest fires are terrible, it always amazes me how HOT the flames are when stroked by the wind. The film that catch trees that BURST into flames are scary.
ReplyDeleteYes we do need rain all over the South.
It sure is a crazy sight. I like to watch the "controled" fires when they burn Crowders Mtn and even took a drive through it once. It was amazing.
DeleteIt's bad here too. An added factor is that we have a firebug around us that keeps setting the woods and abandoned houses on fire.
ReplyDeleteThats sad. I hope they find the ones responsible.
