Ashes on car this morning.

Man, the Fire in Santa Cruz must be huge...I got out to the car today and my car was covered with ashes. I live by berryessa and capitol and it made its way there. Is it a sign from the man up above?

the sky in soquel was like nuclear orange yesterday afternoon. The fog just took in all the smoke and make this crazy THICK haze from santa cruz to monterey.

my car was COVERED in ash at work. Then again this morning when I got up. I had no idea what was going on. I thought the fire was done for.

The moon was crazy last night, and ashes on all the cars over night. Make sure you wash your cars, the ashes could very well be acidic, and can not be good for your paint.
