#bobcat fire

So I moved to California less than a week ago from the midwest and I’ve never experienced wildfires. I saw them burning up an entire mountainside. The air here smells like a campfire. Please consider contributing to some relief funds for those affected

happy belated mid-autumn festival, aka., the chinese thanksgiving.

it is exactly like thanksgiving.  it is the 2nd most important holiday behind the lunar new year.  it’s a gathering with families, eat a ton, eat a lot of sweets (moon cakes), give thanks to a bountiful harvest year, as the weather slowly transition to winter.

This woman is sifting through the wreckage of her Juniper Hills, CA, home of 30 years after it was destroyed by the ongoing Bobcat Fire. The Bobcat Fire is now one of the largest wildfires ever in LA County’s history and remains less than 20% contained as of September 22

Atmospheric disturbance from burning vegetation.

Ash is falling like its sprinkling rain outside and with the winds we are getting, it's just fueling the fires more.

Theres so much smoke in the air that I cant even see the mountains that surround the valley I live in. My favorite camp sites and even hiking trails have been burned through and there is still no end in sight for this fire.
