Taste Life Twice

Occoquan Forest Fire

Two-hundred acres
burn. Winds gust. But no need yet
to evacuate.

* * *

A blurry photo snapped as I U-turned in my car at the end of our street. At least one home has burned, and 200 acres continue to burn. Wind gusting up to 60 mph. They are allowing people to leave the neighborhood, but no one back in. So until they tell us we need to evacuate, we are staying put. Nothing to worry about yet, except for the firefighters and our neighbors down the street.
