We have a couple of forest fires going in our area right now. The biggest one is the Elmo 2 Fire in the Lake Mary Ronan/Big Arm area....it's over 20,000 acres right now and has burned a total of 8 buildings, 5 of those are homes. 15% contained as of this morning.

I took a pano shot today of some of the area by the road that burned and the other shot is from someone in the area that got a great shot of the planes filling on Flathead Lake (yes I have permission to share these) and the last one is from one of the firefighting planes.

Scary time to be living in a mountain area with this heat wave and dry overgrown forests.

Tragic. No matter where you live there are natural disasters that can affect you. Here it's hurricanes.

Your pano really shows the devastated area and the tankers refilling on Flathead is a great shot even if it isn't yours.
