This has nothing to do with GhostHunters Chat, but I felt it would be interesting news anyway.
As shown on the news, there’s fires in several places in my area. Most were suspected to be arson. The rest are just a result of the fires spreading by the dry conditions here and the wind. I even drove through an area that was blazing, I drove through a wall of smoke while passing through to my friend’s house since he’s closer to the fires. I was prepared to evacuate him if needed, but he decided to stay home for now.
The interesting part of all this is that pieces of burned plants were falling from the sky when I was down in the area close to the fires. There was also some people complaining of breathing the smoke, but naturally they stayed to watch anyway. I left to go back into a store I needed to go to anyway, the air conditions were better in the store, my lungs were already starting to feel the effects of the smoke.
Unfortunately, there’s no rain forcasted and the conditions here are still very dry. My house is in no danger currently, so I’m not concerned about my house. However, my friend lives in the area where the fires were dangerously close. At my friend’s place, we could see helicopters with those special water buckets making trips back and forth, dumping water where they could.
Overall, it’s been an interesting experience, not a positive one, but it’s not everyday you see much of the county someone lives in on fire in several locations.
