Mt. Ka'ala Fire...

there's been a fire burning on Scholfield since last week.  
They'd gotten it out on Sunday, but then Tuesday night it started again.

In the middle of the night I had to close the windows and turn the fans
on because the smell was so bad.
This morning we woke up to a smoke haze that looked like fog.
All of Waialua was covered in the thick, smelly stuff.
We kept our doors and windows closed for most of the day because
it was so bad.
From in front of A-9 this morning


after school I drove up Kaukonahua to see exactly where it was.


at that point it was up at the blinking caution light


6 water dropping helicopters 

this is almost to the UH station (opposite side of street)
this evening it looks like it might be almost out, (I hope).

I has made for some pretty gorgeous sunset photos.
