Re: Napa firesA very scary time right now. We are approx 90 miles from Napa, but early yesterday morning you could start smelling the smoke from the fire where we live. I went outside and the smoke smell was pretty strong. We have been watching the news and it is heartbreaking to see the destruction. Our thoughts and prayers are with them through this ordeal. Sidd

Re: Napa firesIt smells like everybody all at once started burning wood in their fireplaces. Really bad air quality. Hope my cousin and her family are okay. They are right in the middle of Napa. All these fires starting about the same time is very suspicious.

Re: Napa fires
That is a good comparison. And the weird thing it was a pretty strong smell too for 90 miles away. I cannot imagine how smokey it must be in Napa. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." ..... Ferris Bueller

Re: Napa firesI never would have thought so until all the smoke pored in and I would have to agree with you.
News last night said that of the 5 fires burning almost all are at 50% contained. if you are interested in seeing some of the images of the inferno I provided the link below. In case you did not know Napa is one of the wine capitals of the world rivaling even the grand French wines. So the loss of life and property is pretty devastating. http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Wi ... 84303.html Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.

Re: Napa firesThose photographs are incredible. So, so sad. Please don't take this wrong, because I don't mean to make light of this in any way, but there's a strange beauty in those photographs that, if taken out of context, could be appreciated. Thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.
Be yourself; everyone else is taken.

Re: Napa fires
I understand your comment and yes they are pretty amazing. They have been also showing some video of police driving through some of the neighborhoods while on fire and it is really eerie looking. Then they show the daylight picture of the entire neighborhood burnt to the ground and it is a sobering moment. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.

Re: Napa firesWe drove through Gatlinburg, TN after the Smoky Mountain fires last year, it was devastating to even look at. Good friends of ours lost everything in the fire and they had only been in their new home 5 days. They did not lose their lives, although it was close, and they are grateful for that. 14 people did lose their lives in that fire and 100's lost their homes and businesses.
The fires in California are much larger and I can't even imagine what it would be like. Are you still far enough away from the fires Sidd? 1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.
