New Mexico On Fire!!

Wow, another fire started up this afternoon, somewhere near Cochiti. I believe it's near where the fire from last year was. I heard something about 6 miles south of Santa Fe airport. I don't know. There's another fire going on in the Jemez Mountains. We saw it on Monday as we drove to Bernalillo. I guess it started on Sunday from lightning strike. On Monday they experienced much more lightning in the area. They are having a hard time containing that one. The one that started today, they say has exploded! Crazy. (watching the news!) There's the one going on in Southern New Mexico and they say that can go on for weeks. Rough terrain is preventing them from getting to the areas. But they have made some progress to stop the fire once it reaches certain points.
We did get some rain on Monday. And it rained pretty good. Only thing it rained pretty good in parts of the city!! The valley area didn't get much. Maybe a drop or two. But the heights got the most even though it's not enough to say it was a lot!
