beautiful and terrible. I was hoping to head back out there soon.Just got this in an e-mail...
Wow. A great and sad photo at the same time. I know it's a natural and needed thing, but I hated seeing Mount Wilson burn a few years ago (by far my favorite place near LA) and I hope to this fire doesn't spread to the McDonald Observatory.Just got this in an e-mail...

Wow. I witnessed that "burning horizon" view out there one spring when I was at school at Sul Ross. In every direction, it surrounded Alpine. It was dark even during the day from smoke, and you couldn't stay outside long without feeling it in your lungs.

Seems like its pushing back into the mountains today. Not good.
Some of the smoke trails in central TX are freaking LONG.
some amazing photos...

This is going to be a good thing long term... natural... it's going to help the wildlife...
Crazy photos
No doubt...lots more grass/browse...
Well, NM is now burning (and has been actually). Over the past month we've had smoke from the gigantic wallow fire out in Arizona come through and actually make ash rain down here.
Now we have a fire just to the NE of town that has been burning for about a week and today this new one popped up to the west. Its been just under 100 degrees for a few days now and winds have been up above 40mph today. When you factor in that the humidity is all of 6% you have pretty much the worst conditions for fire.
My camera on my phone sucks but that pic doesn't do justice to how well formed the pyro ulus were. Never seen anything like it before.

Allen Iverson would say:
"We talkin bout grass fire. We not talkin about trees, we be talkin about grass fire"
Oh its definitely trees. This is all conifer forest at anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level.

Last report from last night had it at 6,000 acres. It had entered Bandelier national monument in Frijoles Canyon. Today is supposed to be hot windy and dry again so hopefully they're able to keep it away from the monument, national labs, and Los Alamos.
Man this side of the country needs freaking rain like it's nobody's business. Or else there wont be anything left to water.
Um forget 6,000 acres the newest update has it at over 45,000. This fire is growing so fast its ridiculous.
manny loves him some natural disasters
Yeah dude, nothing I love more than waking up to the ash falling outside my window.
Also this fire is anything but natural. There were no storms in the area so unless the trees decided to have a BBQ and it got out of control this is a man made disaster.
Las Alamos Labs evacuated.
Yeah - I know several people who work in Los Alamos at the labs or city gov and they were all told last night to stay home. They had a huge fire there 11 years ago so they're all on pins and needles because this is very similar.
Jesus. Thats an entrance to the labs in Los Alamos. looks way to close. They've ordered mandatory evacs of the entire city.
Did you see the picture of "what was a fully restored antique Jaguar sedan that was destroyed by a wildfire"?
Ouch. It was a fully restored sedan, now it is a metal s .
