6. This all reminds me

of the Gatlinburg fires in east Tennessee in 2016. A real nightmare for me as my daughter lives about 45 miles from there. Her husband does cell tower maintenance and repair and was one of the first people allowed up in there; had to have special clearance from the governor, carried a letter and everything.

And for y'all in the east, the racing jet stream and high winds are headed your way. Be careful. We've had a wetter than usual year in Virginia but I saw a brush fire in Page County when we were up there Wednesday.
