There's a big wildfire on the other side of the valley from us, going on now. It's currently about three or four miles wide and about a mile tall, going up the mountain. Friends of ours live less than a half-mile below it, and they're currently evacuating. This picture was taken a few minutes ago, from our backyard 10 miles away from the fire.
