Firefighters Contain 70 Percent of Georgia Wildfire

[HSmomto4]

The Georgia wildfires are making me fear this summer in Florida. I just keep thinking how little rain we have had and how it won't be long before either A) lightening strikes or B) people want 15 min of fame and start them.

But for now we need to pray for those in Georgia. I know the smoke here in Florida we are getting is horrible; I can only imagine how bad it is there from these fires.

It's burned at least 86,000 acres, if not more by now. I had heard that it may be the middle of May before the fire is completely put out.

There are some other smaller fires close by not associated with this one that were evidently arson. (The big fire was caused by a ligtening strike.)

This is the biggest fire in Georgia history.
