For some reason, YouTube won't let me upload video tonight ... Well, as of Wednesday afternoon, I was able to upload the video to YouTube. So you can watch it below, a brief local news segment about a nearby forest fire.

If you watched that video from last night's local news, you heard the fire described as a "brush fire." Well, it's gotten worse over the past twenty four hours and they're currently calling it a "mountain fire". I call it "bad news." A 100 acre patch of land is currently burning and authorities are projecting a fire of up to 400 acres before all is said and done. They're also saying that they don't think it will effect the nearest buildings, which include my mom's house and the hospital where she works as a nurse.

If you heard my brief narration at the end of that embedded video, you heard me describe how close the fire is to the the house where I grew up. The neighborhood I live in now is only about two minutes away from there, and the smell of smoke is pretty thick in my back yard right now. Hopefully, this thing will be contained before too much longer.
