my old neighborhood in Chico is being evacuated bcuz of 200 acre FIRE-very windy here

[fed-up]

The fire is at 100 acres (just updated to 200 acres-from 4 acres at 4:30pm) and they have evacuated a few hundred people from Bruce road/Skyway and up Honey Run about 5 miles to the Covered Bridge. Skyway is closed at Bruce Road. The fire jumped the Skyway headed towards the south side of Butte Creek Canyon, it is near Rim Rock Road. I hope it does not jump the creek and endanger homes on the north side of the canyon.

If the fire heads east (which is the direction the wind is blowing) the town of Paradise could be in BIG trouble.

It is VERY, VERY windy here and today's paper said it would be a HIGH Fire danger day.
Atmospheric decoupling-potential for wind increase because of inversion layer and relationship to central valley is high--

Looks like I moved out just in time.....

There are also a few other fires in the county, this is going to be one hellacious fire season for california




just got my first whiff of smoke and found out I am directly in the flight path of the bombers as they return to Chico airport, two have already passed directly over my house, which is why I turned on the news in the first place
