Fire!
We were evacuated from our home yesterday at 4PM due to the Black Crater Fire outside of Sisters, OR. The fire is about 2.5 miles from my house, which is too close for my comfort. According to reports, good progress has been made to rob the fire of fuel. The reports sounded a lot more optomistic today than they did yesterday. The weather should help them out today with higher humidity levels and lower temperatures. We'll just have to wait and see what comes out of this. Worse comes to worse, we have to rebuild our home. There is insurance for that. So no worries on that end. I'm actually less stressed out today than I was yesterday. It was the waiting and not knowing what was going to happen that was killing me. Hopefully they get the fire under more control and can let us back into our homes.Link of the Moment: Nugget Newspaper
