Big Sur Fire

This morning on the news I noticed that a wildfire is closing in on Big Sur. Apparently the fire that is consuming part of the Los Padres National Forest was started last weekend from some dry lightning strikes. Highway 1 is closed beyond Carmel and homes have been evacuated. Big Sur is a naturally beautiful area with soaring redwoods. Let's hope that not all will be destroyed. Check out the live webcam at Nepenthe, although right now all one can see is smoke.
