山火来了

山火来了 照片是今天（7月22日）5PM拍的。  山火乍起   蘑菇状烟 南加州一年一度的山火季节到了！每逢夏季，烈日炎炎，户外的温度经常超过100o  F。山区野外不缺枯草干柴，只要一颗火星，瞬间引爆。加上干燥的阵风 （时速40英里），火借风势，迅速蔓延成一场燎原大火。   网络照片   家门惊瞥 记得有一年大火逼近，天空是暗的，黑烟蔽日，空气的味儿好比在中国乡下老式灶房烧柴。整个社区被强制疏离。过后回家，周围仿佛经历过一场火山爆发，到处是一层厚厚的灰泥。 当然，郊外的房地产税里包括了山坡消防的费用。每家的火灾保险也是必不可少的。做南加州人既然常年享受灿烂的阳光，就还得有面对火灾地震的精神准备。老天爷对地球是公平的。    入夜之后，可以看到远处山巅大片火光。野火迄今已经烧毁超过1万亩土地，附近地区已经下达了强制撤离令。         Wildfire - Los Angeles County, CA, 12 hours later         #SandFire UPDATE ... 300 firefighters are working the fire throughout the evening.
