This SUCKS! ... it is dry as a popcorn fart here
The smoke and ash are so bad it looks likes it's snowing some times ....
These are both only a few miles from us and heading our way

Stay safe, Jeff. And, if you need to, get the hell out.
Material possessions can be replaced. Loved ones cannot.
Southern California has had to deal with similar crises so we know what you are going through.

Keep in touch and let us know you are safe.

Just an FYI. The US Forest Service has a map for active fires in the US. The one affecting Jeff is the Wallow, #7 on the map. Some of the news articles that I have read make it out to be quite large. Haven't found a good source for containment on it yet. Karma still online for everyone affected, especially Jeff, his family and friends.

http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/

here is a google map link for the area that seems to be affected right now. Hope that Jeff isn't in that visible view. http://maps.google.com/maps?source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=white+mountains&aq=&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.219929,63.193359&ie=UTF8&hq=white+mountains&hnear=Arizona&split=1&ll=33.911454,-109.440651&spn=0.144171,0.246849&t=h&z=12

Yes this is big time BAD ... over 106,000 acres so far.
It's south, East and west of us ... Spent last night and today helping friends evacuate live stock from the area.
The communities to the south of us were evacuated last night.
Still ZERO % contained.

Notice this fire on the way back in from Colorado, You can see it just about where the turn off is from Tuba city. Not good at all it seems like every year there has to bee one of these up north and the majority of the time its started because negligence or pure ignorance. Hope all is well jeff.

Or because the tree huggers successfully lobbied the EPA to stop certain controlled burns aimed at preventing wildfires. Kinda like shooting yourself in the foot eh?


Regardless of the cause, prayers continue.
