Perhaps you need to start packing... and then keep us posted when you are safe. I am getting VERY nervous for you... !!!

ETA - is your son with you? And do you have where to evacuate to?

Mame, we are still a good ways off. It doesn't seem like far, but there are two small reservoirs between us and the fire. And about 300 homes.

The slurry drops are happening constantly now. I do occasionally see a plume of black smoke, which is generally a structure burning. I'll post an updated photo shortly.

That is scary.. which way is the wind moving? But if it stayed as far as in the picture.. good.. but those sparks can fly so fast.

I'm sure you have rounded up all animals and have your vehicle facing out and have some stuff packed already.

I had read about people being able to return, didn't know about this new fire front :-(

Haven't checked elsewhere on the board today yet.. I hope your wayward cat has been located!

The fire is still 8 miles away, spreading in every direction but towards us right now.

Firefighters are trying to go thru different roads to see who might still be up there and find the "heads' of the fire. They just took another call from a homeowner who is trapped by fire and can't get out.

It's just so awful.

We've had rain rain rain the early part of this year, which means we had tons of vegetation growth. And then we went dry dry dry starting in Agusut, so all that vegetation dried out and is perfect fuel for fast burning. It's a terrible condition.

That is what happens rain, growth, then if it isn't still raining, it dries out and is potential tinder for a fire.

Hope things are still moving in another direction ..

The fire has grown from 3 acres to over 600 acres over the course of the day. No containment, and they are now concerned about it jumping a road to the north and becoming much worse.
