This State is On Fire

With fire in many places, the air quality is very bad.

With the smoke, the rising sun is bright orange, looks more like a sunset than sunrise.

This is the late afternoon sun and smoke in our front yard.

The smoky view from our backyard.

Casey sent info about her evacuation yesterday, she is still out of her house with her dogs and rabbits.  She lives in Solano County.   With so many fires started by lightning, it's not a surprise that the fire is getting close to my town as well.   I live in Santa Clara County where the orange color indicates the fire and mandatory evacuation zone. 

This is a close up of the fire map.   The orange is the mandatory evacuation zone, the yellow is the evacuation warning zone.  If you see Morgan Hill in the middle of this map, my home is exactly at the left edge of the yellow warning zone. 

It's in the news that only residents of my town can enter the three freeway exits to Morgan Hill. 
We are keeping our eyes open, have an important bag packed and mostly importantly carriers are ready for the rabbits in case an evacuation is ordered.
