Default HUGE forest fire in my city (pics)

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.

Check out some of the other pictures, there are many more good ones. And I know better than anyone how beautiful it is, yet so terrible. But honestly, just on monday at like 3 in the morning, SOOOOOO many people were out looking at the fire, the beaches are just PACKED 24/7 with people watching it. That's pretty much what we do everynight for entertainment, we go across the bridge to the other side of the lake and there is an amazing view. It's getting pretty scaru today though....

This picture shows how close it is to my house, I could drive from my house, to where the police won't let you get any close to the fire, in like 10 minutes.

And that pic isn't photoshopped.
