Santa Cruz Fire
It has now burned 2500 acres, which is 800 more than three hours ago. I heard about the fire on the news early this morning, but it wasn't until I drove Buffy to school that I saw the HUGE grey cloud coming up over the Santa Cruz mountains --- only it wasn't a cloud, it was the hugest plume of smoke I've ever seen. And when you figure in that Santa Cruz is a good 40 miles from my house, that tells you how bad this fire is. When I drove to work today I could no longer see the cloud, but it was definitely smoky in north San Jose. But according to the news the fire is still "raging out of control". So I'm just keeping my optimistic side on; as long as the news reports it's only the "sparsely populated" area in danger (still incorrect, there's lots of houses there, they're just little and small and poor and often trailers - they are still homes though) then I'll cross my fingers that things don't get much worse.
