Good. Too much is happening lately. Fire is a huge killer and highly underestimated by some.

It is pretty close. The two back roads through the canyon are hard closed - no traffic at all, a couple of side roads only open to residents in the immediate area. If it isn't contained it is coming in and may arrive in 2 to 3 days.

Edit: updated 4 hrs ago, Cal fire info

That's a big worry. Stay safe.

Well, it's 70° F (21° C), light winds and completely overcast



Can't see past about a quarter mile (0.4 km) and everything smells like smoke. The fire is now at 19,500 acres and growing.

Support equipment currently in use:
Dozers: 7
Engines: 93
Helicopters: 8
Air Tankers: 8 including DC10
Water Tenders: 12

975 persons actively battling this monster

Going for gasoline (fill the tank in perpetration) in about 20 minutes.

Thank you for posting km and ° C!
Is the fire coming near more quick than expected?

It was hoped to be somewhat under control by now, yesterday morning when I took those pictures it was at 3475 acres so it has grown by almost 6x since then. With the sun coming higher into the day the sky is taking on a decidedly orange tint.

That sounds bad.

In general: the other side of Austria (Vorarlberg, Tirol, Salzburg, parts of Upper Austria) and along the Danube.

I'd never have believed before I'd see pictures like these from my country.

Apple Maps App helped me out here. You've just got to feel for those people caught up in this, it must be devastating.

Just imagine: the half of a house torn apart by a mudflow; water standing up to the windows in regions where that never has happened before.
