I spent probably a couple of hours over the weekend watching live overhead coverage from ch. 5. Those DC10s swooping down low between the mountains, pretty amazing. Such massive devastation ... people, homes and all that wildlife - gone. My old high school, Taft is one of the evac centers. So many memories hiking, roaming those mountains. Hope for radical healing & regeneration... |

we got a ringside seat to firefighting yesterday when a 2 acre wild fire broke out about 3:30pm just on the other side of the valley where I live, and grew to about 20 acres by 3:45..winds driving it toward a neighborhood of Stallion Springs (about 2 mi from my home). We have the same high winds going on here, and all FD are on red alerts. Within minutes, we had two helicopters and two tanker planes dropping water and foscheck, engines streaming in from everywhere (even as far north as Tuolomne county). They had it mostly out by 5pm, and had a crew stay over night to mop up embers. Scary stuff. My front picture window directly faced the view of the new fire. We did not want to be the next Malibu or Paradise up here. You could hear neighbors cheering every time a drop was made on that fire (Stallion fire), stopping it from going right into the community of Stallion Springs. I have nothing but admiration for our California fire departments and what they do. |

| Yikes, sounds terrifying. Stay safe. A little rain dancing wouldn't hurt. |
