This morning I woke up to a thick sky. I thought it was overcast but instead the sky was covered with smoke. I know this sky, I’ve seen it before.

Where the windows were opened, ashes have settled on the window sills and nearby furniture.

A bit worried (sad and scared), as people in nearby areas are starting to evacuate. The University campus has closed. My kids are still in the on-line school and teachers made announcements for the kids in the affected areas to leave. We are safe and I hope the fire will be contained before it spreads further, although they stoped the air aid because the wind is too strong.

As we go through this, I cannot help thinking about the people who are in the immediate vicinity. Please keep them in your prayers.

You always see it in the news, but when it hits close to home it becomes dreadful #WritingCommunity #fire #scary https://t.co/YZBu52jjo4
