Fire...

...as seen as in our backyard. The fire is twnety miles away and burning away from us thnaks to on-shore winds.
The fire has burned 1,000 acres so far and only started about three hours before I took this photo.
We had temperatures at our house of 108°F / 42°C today. Some temperatures in our area were as high as 120°F / 49°C.
These are dangerous temperatures even without fires.

A dramatic shot of this scary fire. Hope you get some cooler weather and rain to aid the firefighters.

So scary. I’m glad it’s moving away from you. Those clouds are terrifying. V

A fantastic capture of the smoke billowing across the sky, I hope the fire was contained and didn't come into your district. V Barbara

Yikes! This makes me queasy and I'm sure even worse for you. Stay safe and keep us updated...Did you say 108??? In San Diego?

An unsettling sight from your backyard Walter, those temperature of up to 49deg are very high for even our part of the world. David.

A good shot of the smoke reaching your house from 20 miles away!! That is a lot of acres, I hope it slows down before more damage can be done, Walter.V

Holy cow, this is a terrifying photo, and your text doubly so. The fire is dreadful and the high temperatures are stultifying. Your shot captures all of this. V

fine capture fraught with alarm...thank goodness for the inflow winds, often the saviour of coastal communities..
