What did tomorrow bring you greydog?
I am still here, but have no idea what is happening right now.

Winds are still mostly calm. Some ash falling on me while I work on the roof. Forecast is for the wind to start blowing out of the north east which means it will move directly away from us. Much cooler now and I am not concerned at all at this point. While the fire is quite large, I don't believe it is too active at this time. There have been a few buckets of water flying by but, all in all, it seems OK. GD
