Yeah, I saw that on CNN. We have a time share in Palm Springs and I
know that area.

The most pleasant and useful persons are those who leave some of the
problems of the universe for God to worry about.

| Y'all won't believe this. I arrived in Scottsdale this afternoon
| and was confronted with a huge brush fire on the mountain ridge
| right behind our new home (under construction). It apparently
| started last evening - lightning strike. At 3:00 today, the
| police evacuated all construction workers, and residents are next
| if the fire keeps on it's path. I volunteered to
| help..........no word yet.
|
| All afternoon we watched helicopters and water planes dump water
| on the fire. The smoke changed many times during the afternoon -
| from dark grey/black to brownish, to white, and then back to dark
| gray black again. The winds were strong, and shifted direction
| several times as well. Just before I left around 4:00, the winds
| shifted to the east, blowing it towards a little subdivision
| called Tonto. I think the fire itself is in the Tonto wildlife
| area. I'm not sure as I don't get PHX television stations here.
| I can't (nor did I try) get to the fire area. It's hard to tell,
| but it looks as if it could be anywhere from 1/4 mile to three
| miles from the house itself.
|
| I have a few pictures if anyone wants to see - specially the AZ
| people. Anyone heard anything about this?
|
| Keep your fingers crossed!
