Blue Skies in Our Future

I'm sure many of you know about the devastating fire in California.  The Rim Fire is what they are calling it and it has burned over 301 square miles and has moved into 6th place on California's list of largest wildfires! It is located in and around the Yosemite National Park area and as of today it is 35% contained.

Here in Reno we have suffered poor air quality for the past two weeks due to the smoke from this devastating fire.

I wanted to share some photos with you so that you can have an idea of what we are seeing....or not seeing.  LOL!

I took this picture from our home looking to the West earlier this year

 

 

I took this picture just this past Tuesday looking at those same mountains from our home

 

 

These next before and after pictures are courtesy of Douglas County, just about 30 miles south of us

 

 

Today looks promising that there may be hope for the complete extinguish of this horrible fire.

 

 

Predictions are that the Rim Fire will be extinguished on September 20th.

 

Please pray for all involved in the efforts to put an end to this devastating fire.
