A Scary Day at Home - A Raging Fire

 Today was intended to be a sort of more relaxing day, however by mid afternoon, we were shocked to see thick black cloud passing by our balcony.


Yet another fire erupted in our neighbourhood, this time much closer than the one two weeks ago. The fire could be seen from miles away. This photograph was taken from Jerusalem

By mid afternoon we were told to leave our apartments and go down to parking level -1 where were served with ice cream (not Ben and Jerry's) and cold water

Everything was done in an orderly manner, no panicking and in good humour. 

To be honest, even though i was very young at the time, it reminded my of going down steps to a shelter under out garden when the sirens sounded to warn of incoming German aircraft during world war !!.  Strange tricks memories play!
