I was released from court (jury duty) early today, and was able to see 
something spectacular and terrifying at the same time.

When I left the downtown area and was heading east towards my house, the 
fire looked like it was laying down some.  It somehow made me feel a little 
optimistic.  About half way home it looks like it exploded again as the 
smoke really started climbing again.

What really got me was in the middle of the day, in broad daylight, I was 
able to see flames shooting into the sky.  Remember, I am many miles south 
of the mountain and could still see flames.
