Dark Cloud (Explored 10/11/17)

Taken at Bodega Bay, CA, USA. I was evacuated from my home at 3am on October 9th, and had to leave quickly. As I got onto the road with my partner and a 4 year old in tow, the local roads, at that early hour, were completely gridlocked and the freeway going north and south was stopped. Thankfully, we knew some back roads going west and were able to make it out to Bodega Bay, which I figured would be the safest path away from the fire. I wasn't able to take much, but I did grab my camera. As you can see, the air, even at Bodega Bay, was quite smoky.

 

Some of you have wished me well, and I just want to let you know that I'm safely out of the North Bay. But my thoughts are still very much with all the people I know and love who have nowhere else to go. This fire is an unprecedented disaster, and I would urge any of you who are reading this to help in any way that you can. Here is an NBC News link on various ways to assist:
