It will be burning for several days.
I am thinking that we need to high tail it out of here for the night and see what the winds do overnight.
Ugh.

Come to Minnesoooooota! SE MN is beautiful with rivers for fishing, trails for hiking, and other outdoor fun for you and your bride. We also have plenty of fresh air to share.

Amazing. Are you at home, or did you head to Milwaukee?

Glad you're OK, Mark - hopefully none of that crap reaches your house.
I really hope we didn't insure that place.

We are still here. The wind has never stopped blowing this crap away from us. There by the luck of the universe goes another, and all that.
It looks like they will have this out soon. If it is still smoldering and the wind shifts we have our bug-out bags at the ready.

Day 2
The white smoke isn't as scary as the black smoke.

The volume of smoke is not as scary. I bet the day 2 smoke is still not very "environmentally friendly".

Here's hoping you won't need them.
How completely horrifying.

Not yet. The community response to this disaster has been awesome. People donating everything from cash, water, gatorade, meals, for the first responders, etc. The normal disaster relief groups are here as well.
