Fire in Raton

Yesterday afternoon a fire broke out in Raton.  This picture is from Marie, who was there with the kids.  They could see trees bursting into flames.  It has been too dry, and fire danger is really high everywhere around us.  We have been listening to the radio and scanner, and the stories or evacuations and lost structures makes everyone a little nervous and on edge.  I-25 has been closed, causing people to take dramatic re-routes to cross stateline with Colorado.  The train station has been closed until the trestles can be inspected.  The air quality is bad. 
 
Sadly, the forecast continues to be hot and dry and, worst of all, windy.  Please pray for some rain.
