The Hills are Alive

Last week there was a forest fire across the river from campus. It was sort of nutso, almost apocalyptic. The sky turned black, the winds picked up and the temperature dropped about 15 degrees. Apparently a house fire broke out and spread to the hillside. Here is a photo from the paper and one I took. It burned through the night and was spectacular to watch.

That bottom picture is cool. It looks like hell is opening up or something.

Other than the house that started it, no damage. It's a baren hillside with not much around.
