I've never seen so much smoke. I could feel it in my lungs, even from this distance. |
This is before we realized that a giant blaze was consuming a small part of our town. |
Chasing it down. The sun through the smoke made everything kind of shine gold. |
Pohang is a series of hills and valleys and we were on the other side of the hill from the fire. Here's the smoke pouring over the top of this hill, just streaming across the city. |
Most of these pictures were taken by Sara on the back of the scooter. When we ate it, she even held the camera up so it wouldn't get smashed. What a pro. |
This one makes it look like the fire's chasing us, you can just see a giant ball of smoke in the background. |
UPDATE: One person did die in the fire, which is terrible. Also 70 something people were injured and over a hundred evacuated. Apparently the fire was started by a 12 year old who is in big trouble with the city. A sad day.
