Praise the Lord for answered prayer!
We went north to camp and met our grandchildren and had a great weekend. While we were gone, a forest fire started about 5 km or 3 miles from our home. My son, who also lives in the area, had ash on his car, which was parked outside.
When we got back, the smoke was incredibly thick. 13/10 hazard again - very dangerous for everyone to breath.
But as we started to go up the mountain it started to rain. I went for a nap, it rained the whole time. When I got up, most of the smoke was gone, and we could see the sky here for the first time in 2 weeks.
It rained again all night, and the fire close to us is basically out! Just a few hot spots to track down!
Praise the Lord for clean air, and safety. I'm still praying for Washington state and their fires. I have not heard if they got the rain we did, but some of those fires will need a month of rain to put out, they were so big.
