Woke up this morning to find ashes spread everywhere from the River Fire just south of Salinas. It's now covering about 10,000 acres. The sun is very orange as it rises. Over the weekend, we had dry lightning and thunder storms, no rain. This is what started this fire. While it's close we are not threatened here in Monterey, except from the ashes, not yet anyway. Hopefully, we won't be. Many have been evacuated, and if gets any closer, our zoo will also evacuate its animals. I will keep you informed as I can. Luckily, we are already in masks, that should also prevent is inhaling the smoke.
OH! 😟 We had a scare over here too like this. Everyone around us had to evacuate, we got lucky! I should post the pictures I took...we had ash inches thick everywhere and the sky was orange?!😯 Hope you have been well...been thinking about you.💓🤗
@silentwriter180 I was just thinking of writing to you. Hoping you were safe. I hear about the virus and the lockdowns there. Be safe. Love to you my sister.
@PoetryNEmotion Love you too, dear sis. We just shut down again. Circumstances aren't as strict as they were earlier this year, which surprises me. The one they added for this one is that there is now a 10:00 curfew. Luckily. I am allowed to remain open this time, the two and a half months I had to close before just about killed me! Stay safe & healthy my dear. Love you.
@PoetryNEmotion Thank you, 😷 I only go out for food and always wear my mask. I know it's really hard in CA, I just saw on the news people are leaving there in droves! God bless you, 🙏🥰♥️ I hope your business can survive this mess.🤗🍀
Keeping you and yours in my thoughts. It's a rough time. I've been through my share of firestorms here in the San Diego area so know the feeling all too well.
