I'm sure Steve is fine, he may have had to evacuate but I think by looking at the map he was to the north of the line. I went up to Fort Herriman Middle School and took some pictures. You can see one of the homes that was burned from there. Very sad and very moving. Still hot spots in the area. I feel bad for those who have lost their homes but I also have to say that the when you see in person what the firefighters did last night, it is truly amazing. Three homes lost but about 30 more should have gone at least but they made their breaks and made their stands. Seeing what they accomplished and how close the fire came is amazing. One gentleman who was in the field at Fort Herriman Middle School told me he was there last night and as the fire came to the house that is alone in my pictures, it simply curved around the house and burned to the other side because of their efforts.

I believe Steve is well West of Rose Canyon, I thought that was where the fire was.
No evacuation but I did see one home up in flames from a short distance
and then through binoculars I can see homes where we use to live going up in flames. Everything is ready to go in the Pathfinder and the Altima if they knock on the door but where I am at I don't think that will happen.
Can't say for Steve but I hope he and anyone else out here in Herriman is okay. The moon was a blood red for a while tonight. Makes you realize what is important.
Craig,
Actually that is a protostar emerging from its nebula!
Be safe everyone!

Not what you may expect, but with the fire from Ft. Williams coming through it was erie as we drove home from an afternoon up in the canyons of American Fork and such to see the light of the sun dim like during an eclipse. So we pulled over and the sun was blood red and we took these images through our digital camera. I think they are kinda of cool so I though I would share them.

Thanks, Jay. The destruction could have been so much worse! I'm glad you and Steve are OK. -- Joe --- On Mon, 9/20/10, Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote:
