Mandatory Evacuation

[David Merrill]

I have been watching fires around here for a week now.

Wednesday it turned dangerous with Westerly 65 mph winds.

Here is an earlier report..

This morning, the BBC World News broadcast around the world this story. Listen to this fire marshal tell you over three-hundred homes were engulfed (in flames).

Here is a recent photo:




I edited this thread because what I saw from the hilltop sure looked a lot different than what actually happened according to the News!

Was thinking about you. I hope you and yours are out of harms way. From the presumptions I get from your photos it looks like you are quite safe.

Yes. Thank you.

I made some presumptions from what I could see. There were many homes burning below my line of view, through the night. I lived in Mountain Shadows when most of it was motorcycle trails and therefore did not consider the population density in that neighborhood adjoining Forest Service land.
