We spent the day with Sharon and Paul down in the Monterey Bay area.  Once we got home about 11 PM I walked to the back of the house and saw a catastrophy.  There were giant, orange glowing sections of Angel Island.  I immediately thought that there had been a plane crash on the island during one of the airshows during the day’s Fleet Week events.  Turned to SFGate.com and they are just calling it a wild fire and no mention of a plane crash.  So that’s good, no one lost their life, except for the island.  We almost went to the island a few weeks back when Phil was visiting, but got to the ferry area too late to have enough time to take it in.  I regret it now because who knows when we’ll have another opportunity to see it.  It is going to take years for the island to recover.

I was able to snap some photos, here they are:

And a really crappy video:
