We're right on the mandatory evacuation limit and at the suggested evacuation area. 2000 folks so far evacuated. This started at 1pm at 100 acres and bloomed to 2000 acres in less than 4 hours. 97degree's, 9% humidity and 20mph winds. It's been shifting all day, blooming to HUGE proportions to less. I'm pretty well ready for this from my California earthquake days. We had critical things packed and staged in about 15 minutes and then went to a party some friends were throwing a few blocks CLOSER to the fire but everyone was watching from their deck and news reports. I think we'll be ok but the Boy Scouts have it right - Be prepared!
My next door neighbor took this looking over our house.
Around the corner at our neighbors house party (party on Wayne) During the party - we're concerned but you'd never know it (too many wine and jello-shot drinkers) but it would shrink and then bloom HUGE.
One of the times looked under control.
