Fire on the mountian run boys, run...

Is that Sherman's ghost marching his Union soldiers towards Atlanta executing his scorched earth policy?

We've had runaway fires burning in South and Central Georgia going on for almost a month now and this morning the smell of smoke was quite powerful. Then, when I got on the interstate to make my way into work this morning the haze created by the smoke blowing in Atlanta's direction was unbelievable. Drought conditions are making the efforts to put this thing out tough. We may get some rain today, but I'm not sure it'll be enough.

I'm hoping to get a change in wind direction and blow this nastiness over into Alabama instead of our direction at least, heh :-)
