Like this but from further away. From jeffwarnerphoto.blogspot.com
I mentioned the fires in Mexico because yesterday (Sunday 12 August) as I was coming back from my trip, as I climbed the backside of our piece of the Peninsular Range (i.e. the Descanso unit of Cleveland NF) I could see a little smoke to the right (north) and a lot billowing from the left (south). The northern fire must have been the remnants of the Chihuahua fire, and the southern one must have been in Mexico - because it was huge. At sunset it was spectacular, eating up the side of a mountain down in baja. Of course, there's essentially an information black hole south of the border. Consequently we hear nothing about that, even though fire doesn't respect borders and threatens property on this side of the line too.
