Evacuation

We had an amazing lightning storm on Sunday night, which Christi and I went out to watch for a while, that had major repercussions on Monday afternoon. 275 acres, 1.5 miles from our house, burned down yesterday throughout most of the day.

The middle school which is 100 yards from our house was evacuated today because of potential that the fire may come up over the mountain more into New Castle. However, our community was not evacuated at all.

Hopefully when we return from work today, we'll still have a house to go home to.

*The picture above is from the corner of our street. It's a good depiction of how close the fire was to our house.
