山火來了

山火來了 照片是今天（7月22日）5PM拍的。  山火乍起   蘑菇狀煙 南加州一年一度的山火季節到了！每逢夏季，烈日炎炎，戶外的溫度經常超過100o  F。山區野外不缺枯草幹柴，隻要一顆火星，瞬間引爆。加上幹燥的陣風 （時速40英裏），火借風勢，迅速蔓延成一場燎原大火。   網絡照片   家門驚瞥 記得有一年大火逼近，天空是暗的，黑煙蔽日，空氣的味兒好比在中國鄉下老式灶房燒柴。整個社區被強製疏離。過後回家，周圍仿佛經曆過一場火山爆發，到處是一層厚厚的灰泥。 當然，郊外的房地產稅裏包括了山坡消防的費用。每家的火災保險也是必不可少的。做南加州人既然常年享受燦爛的陽光，就還得有麵對火災地震的精神準備。老天爺對地球是公平的。    入夜之後，可以看到遠處山巔大片火光。野火迄今已經燒毀超過1萬畝土地，附近地區已經下達了強製撤離令。         Wildfire - Los Angeles County, CA, 12 hours later         #SandFire UPDATE ... 300 firefighters are working the fire throughout the evening.
