Fire!

talenaya · Post by **talenaya** » Mon May 09, 2011 4:25 am

About 25 miles west of me lies the Okefenokee Swamp and it's currently on fire! My power has flickered and gone out several times and ash is decorating cars and they expect the fire to get worse.

I thought the sky was suppose to be blue.

This one was taken from just outside the side of my complex.

On my way back home.

Take care. I remember a few years ago when the fires were so bad in Florida and in Georgia. I will pray for rain for you. I've been to that swamp and its lovely. I don't do Facebook but will wait for you to be able to post back here.

Prayers and thoughts with you all over there with those fires. I know how scary it can be when the smoke is thick like that and the fires nearby.

Take care and post when you can.

That is scary! I hope you and your house will be ok (you are more important obviously!!)

Its been very bad for fires here in the UK as well this spring - our mountain opposite our house has had about 6 fires on it this year - they often burn the bracken in Feb, but this time its all got out of control and burned trees as well. Its doing a hell of a lot of damage.

The winds have changed so the smoke has cleared out for now but the swamp is still on fire. We need some rain but last time I said that we got a hurricane so I'm trying not to say it outloud.

don't think hurricane. I know what you mean. I was here for Hugo and went down to Florida after Wilma to help my Father (85 then) and my Step-mom (84). Think heavy rain. That can't hurt.

Good to know that the smoke has cleared but sad the fire is still burning. I will think heavy rain for you too.
