Nothing I’ve posted yet is anywhere near as spooky as these photos of the wildfires in Southern California. Or this story. And a photo from Jon Sullivan. And here’s a satellite photo. And, eeek. (links via metafilter)

We got smoke from the fire in Fort Ord in Monterey Bay here in Central California (we’re an hour east of M. Bay), but that’s about it here. Just a little smokey smell and itchy, dry eyes ‘n such. ‘Course, we’ve had our fair share with that summer fire a few thousand feet from our house with ten fire engines, etc.
