The Flathead Valley in Montana is surrounded by at least 6 raging forest fires comsuming nearly 200,000 acres. I took this picture last Friday evening--right before I took this picture, the smoke was so thick that it completely blocked out the sun. Mike and I had been out to dinner with my parents and when we got back to the car, no more than an hour later, the hood of our car was covered in ash. By Sunday, the situation had worsened and the governor of Montana has declared a state of emergency. Luckily, the fires are far enough away from us that we aren't in any serious danger, but the horrible air quality has limited our outdoor activities considerably.

That is crazy!! We had that a while ago with the Utah fires...but we didn't get up that close. It makes it look like huge thunderstorms...but also really pretty sunsets.
that is so sad. im glad your family is far enough that youre not in any danger.
