Ethan Fire.

Ethan Fire. Phoenix, Arizona. June 27, 2008.

Wow, this is pretty Crazy. The Ethan Fire. It started 3 days ago by a strike of lightning. At first I thought it was a fire far away, like it usually is, around the grand canyon or somthing.. And yesterday, there was big "clouds" that were dark, and we thought they were storm clouds. And today we figured out that it was smoke. The fire is now at Laveen. near 87th and Baseline. And we are really close to that! *CREEPY* My mom called earlyier today and said. "Go look outside". so I went out and looked up, the whole sky was covered with smoke, and the sun was a red orange color then a little later it turned a darkish peach color. Then, a few mintues later, you couldnt even see the sun!!! I was looking around out back and saw where the smoke was coming from, right behind the mountain by our house. I feel like we are in that episode of weeds, where the fire isbehind the mountain by their house.

I hope we dont have to evacuate. ITS RAINING ASHES!

Here are some great shots I got from our backyard and infront of our house.

-There was so many Jets, There is usually never any jets near our house, even if there was, there wouldnt be this many, it was creepy. and they all were flying twards the fire. and away from it.-
