Yesterday I was cooking dinner when my dad called. For whatever reason someone had decided that the middle of a drought was a good time to grind rails. Himself and another worker and been following along with water to put out the sparks. Somehow one spark got away flew over one set of tracks and caught part of the hill on fire. They had to close parrot the track down and evacuate personal. Poor dad had to play firefighter during the heatwaves to put it out. That evening he barely gets home when we got hit with the windstorm. We had branches every where. It knocked out the power till 11:00 that night. Curtis and Gusty had part of a pine tree fall behind their house. Luckily it only hit some of their potio furniture.
