The Carr Fire is currently just south of me about 50 miles and is burning through my old home town of Redding California. This is a snap shot from the I-5 highway driving through Redding California. The photo was taken by a woman named Shannon Long on my FB.
More than 60 fires are blazing through california right now with the Carr Fire being one of the most vigilant and only 3% contained. Over 140 homes destroyed so far. Temperature reached over 100 degrees in Redding today and are expected to be similar highs throughout the week, with possibility of 112 degrees or more.
