Something wicked this way comes...
Poop. This thing's about 10 miles south of me and the wind's blowin' this way.
This is the Elmo fire, 16,000+ acres in just a couple days. We've got the camper on the truck and the utility trailer on the Explorer in case we need to bug out.
Crappola.

Looks like they got some rain on it this afternoon. YAY! Still lots that can go sideways if Ma Nature decides it should, though.

Looks like they are getting a pretty good handle on it?

Mother nature has been very cooperative the last few days. Very low winds and all going the right direction. They even had a few rain showers on the fire. I was out on Flathead earlier today up by Bigfork and there was no column at all, just a smoky haze in the area. They've got it at 21,345 acres and 55% containment. That leaves a lot of wiggle room for the fire if the winds kick up and get squirrely again.
Those super scoopers are worth there weight in gold. In one day the four of them dropped 600,000 gallons of water on the fire.
