A November Sunset that Looked like Fire in the Sky

Connecticut bordering on drought conditions and as the state is so dry fires are a large worry. Lat October saw a large 200-acre fire in the center of the state that had firefighters battling around the clock.

It ws startling to me as I was driving up a hill to glance west and see the sky lit up fire red.

I waited a few minutes trying to determine where it might be It could have been the forest bordering the Naugatuck/Middlebury lines with Interstate 84 running right through its center.

The pause made it very clear that it wasn't a fire, just a brilliant sunset.

.Remembering the weather saying of evening red, morning gray helps the traveler on his way, it was going to be another sunny day following.

Is there rain forecast in the near future? I hope so!

Kat Palmiotti   We were hit with a massive storm early in September that caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and have not had any since with very little forecasted for the future.

Hello Ed - nature is complicated.  Beautiful as well as appealing in abundant ways but potentially quite awful.  With devasting consequences. 

PS - as Kat Palmiotti commented, hopefully rain is part of the not-so-distant future.

Our rainfall has been nonexistent since early September and we had a large fire covering almost 100 acres of land around Halloween.

That truly is a gorgeous sunset. I love the look through the trees. I hope your drought conditions don't result in any wildfires!

Hi Ed- that is amazing!!!!  But, I can see why you might have been concerned about the fires. When we lived on the water, it was "Red sky in morning, sailor take warning. Blue sky at night, sailor's delight.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - I have experienced many sky views that looked like yours in Flower Mound, but not this year or last year. Thank you for posting your beautiful sunsets! It's very hard not to take your eyes off when it is a fiery looking sunset!

You captured it all so well!!!

Nov 10, 2024 10:20 PM
Ed Silva, 203-206-0754

Patricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP   I do believe it is the dust particles in the air that cause the colors and with no rain the sky doesn't get purged.

Wow! If I saw a sky like that one I would hope the fire fighters were on their way.

John Juarez   The firefighters were in another part of the state with a fire that they battled for over a week.
