Wildfires can be a very bad thing. We don’t have the fires here in the northeast like that so I can only imagine.
I hope all get out to safety and I sincerely hope that Mike Noles and his family do not loose their business.

The fire has turned to the east (away from us) and is now burning at about 1 mile per hour toward the Alligator River. It has a tremendous fire wall of over 3 miles wide and is picking up speed. They have burned 2 successful back fires between us and the main blaze and that gives us a 3/4 mile burn break should the fire try to turn. It’s black, scortched, plowed earth from the east end of Phelps Lake south to Hwy 45 in Ponzer with a path over 4 miles wide. Last report has over 12,000 acres burned and no real containment in sight. The fire marshalls are predicting another fire of ‘85 when a total of over 90,000 acres of the pocosin burned. [...]
