No, this isn't California...

So as many of you know, the northern part of Horry County has been dealing with a wild fire since yesterday... and let me say- holy crap. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. Thankfully, I live about 20-30 miles south of the blaze so personally, I am not being affected.

The fire has destroyed more than 15,000 (THOUSAND) acres, 2500 people have been evacuated, 40 homes have been destroyed, over 100 homes have been damaged... the numbers will probably go up by this time tomorrow I'm sure. Today I saw helicopters flying in & dropping water on the blaze. It's so crazy. Here are some pictures I've found from some news sites so you can get an idea of how huge this fire is...


I did not take these pictures, I took them from www.wmbfnews.com. Hopefully this fire will be put out soon! My prayers are going out to the communities and families who are being affected!
