I pieced together some video I shot and uploaded to Google. Nothing spectacular, but shows how close it came. The first two shots are out at the range right after it started, the rest is from my roof at different times during the day.

The winds have fanned the flames again and I can see smoke on the other side of me now...

Cool, or not depending on where you live. I think we should all go down there and put it out for ya.

I just drove out to see if I could get to civilization. I stopped with my neighbor to take some pics. The wind shifted and we turned around to see this...

All out now

I assume your SIGH was one of relief, not of disappointment that you can't take more pictures and videos.

It was a sigh of relief. Fire is now done except for one small area is smoldering.

This is about 3.5 miles south from my house on route 539 at around 6 PM yesterday the 17th of May. I was there filming the original fire still burning to the west when the wind changed with the incoming low front and rain.

See pic http://www.disdat.com/images/Shift.jpg

You can see the wind change direction from southeast to west in the sequence along the bottom. As this happened, smoldering embers on the other side of the road to the east caught fire and literally erupted. When I pulled up and stopped there was absolutley no fire to the east. So in a matter of 90 seconds this erupted in several different spots. I turned around to see this.

You can see the smoke is just rising from the initial combustion as I begin to film. As I turn around towards the end of the video you can see the original fire I was filming, which now seems tiny in comparison. Google really kills the video quality...

See Video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ve+fire%22

Luckily the same front that caused the wind change brought rain and these fires were out in about two hours. All the fires are out now.

Today, I took the dogs to Mordor.
