The fire more than doubled in size yesterday. The community five miles to the west is under pre-evacuation notice. Last night I could see flames just down the street from my house. There’s a lot of ash on the ground. The smoke has obscured all the mountains. Forecast calls for hot and dry weather for the next several days.
Stay safe!
I saw a report yesterday that truckers actually thought they could detour around by way of Independence Pass and were getting stuck. How stupid do you have to be to try that without taking a good long look at the map and realizing it was not only not a truck route, but they weren’t likely to make it?
