Smokey Skies

It's hot, it's dry ... and the skies have been filled with smoke! So many wildfires this season. It seems it is almost always an issue as summer hits. Last year homes were evacuated (some lost) to a fire. This year it seems there are even more. TWO just SouthWest of Herriman. More evacuations (Herriman High School was an evacuation center for one of the two fires). Also down in Sanpete County there was been a lot of destruction. Colorado has been making the news as well ... I can't imagine having 15 minutes to pack up what you can, not knowing if your house will be there for you to come back to. What would you take with you?

Had to update the post with ANOTHER fire in Alpine ...
here's a few pictures circulating Facebook

 ... the view from a friend's front porch ...

 ... a home saved ...



Hopefully the 4th of July fireworks won't start anything NEW ...
