Weed, Calif. fire.....

The terrible fire in Weed...a small town 9 miles north of us, seems to have finished consuming what lay in its' path...more than 100 structures burned down...a church, the library...you can see dozens of pictures on line. No one was seriously hurt, but a lot of families will be struggling to put their lives back together. You can google the Weed-fire on-line sites, and if you want to help, can identify those charities helping the folks in this small struggling town.

California is in a severe drought, and combined with a 'no-snow' winter, conditions went from bad to worse!

Here are some photos of our bare mountain...no one can recall it being so barren of snow! The high winds that fanned the flames of our devastating fire, has produced the beautiful Linticular cloud formations in the pics below.
