On my way home, I could see a lot of what looked like clouds in the sky, but it was actually the fire smoke itself. It was very windy outside, thus the smoke was being blown all the way into my county.

I am no stranger to wildfires, I have personally seen them and felt their heat (literally). It is very unfortunate that California, as beautiful as it is, is a living tinderbox in some areas. All in all, I'm just glad that it is being contained and that no one is hurt.
