Subject: new fire: CA/Kern County near Lebec/I5 grapevine |
|
|
About 300 acres north of Lebec near Fort Tejon. One
lane of the 5 is now closed. Evacs are taking place.
This one I can see from my front yard. But, we have even
been getting a lot of high altitude smoke from the
Riverside fire yesterday and today. Pretty hazy in our
mountains.

Keeping you in my prayers Red if the fire is that close to you. Winds can shift so quickly. Jesse, post below, is correct about the smoke from the fires because it is loaded with chem trail toxins. Watch animals that may be outside. Please keep us posted on this fire and stay safe

The fire's (off the grapevine)still at least 25-30
miles away. We are in no danger, but thank you. I've
had no updates on this one this morning. That usually
means they made significant progress overnight.
The mountain fire, further south in Riverside county,
is still burning, but I read a notice that the fog came
in along the coast and it raised humidity. They went
from 15% to 25% containment on it with little acreage
growth on the fire.
The next few days will tell the tale. We are expecting
t-storms out of Arizona to sneak in the back door here.
If they're full of rain, that could be a good thing. If
they only bring dry lightning and wind, that's very
bad.
Next couple of days, we'll be watching the skies.

The firefighters are amazing. I've watched them nail
fires nearby with great zeal and precision. We also
have a fire "camp" nearby (they've been renovating an
old school) and get to talk to them when they come in
to work for supplies. Not only are they good...they're
all handsome :p
We're now waiting to see what these incoming storms do.
They've already put up a flash flood watch for our
area. They have been apparently dumping a lot of heavy
rain in the desert as they approach. If they bring a
lot of water, that could be a good thing (other than
some flash flood damage). If the rain peters out and
it only brings lightning and winds, that could be very
bad. Let's hope for the best.

parts of our area are definitely getting some rain
today. We got some this afternoon when a t-stormed
sideglanced us going by. It got things a little damp,
but not soaked like we need at our house. That being
said, the evening's not over and I see another one
forming over Mt. Tehachapi as I type.
Some areas (like Walker Basin) got deluged. Others,
totally missed. Any rain is good here right now.

It concerns me the quality of the air you describe. Take heed that the smoke content is saturated with cummulative chemtrail toxins above and beyond natural fuels. May we all live another day....
