Just in case some people are interested, there is a HUGE forest fire near my city right now, many of my friends have been evacuated from their homes. I should be fine, my house isn't out near the woods but it's sooo crazy. Even at my house there is ash falling, and if I look in the direction of the fire it looks like a scene from Dante's Peak or something. So far the fire has consumed 11,000 hectares.
