Pics from the Woody Fire (1 Viewer)

[Hondo]

Here's some pics I took yesterday of the fire as it got going around 440pm. This fire was less than a mile from our house (due West of us), but fortunately the winds were blowing strong to the northeast -- not so fortunate for our friends and their neighbors who had to evacuate.

I drove past the area that the pics show about 5 mins prior to this and the fire wasn't even visible from the road at that time, only the smoke.

Oh yeah, Member sighting last night also...

Spotted at Roma's Pizza on Milton -- Who is it?

Unfreakingbelievable, they pre-empted an entire Stanley Cup Final hockey game to show a bunch of newsies explain weather patterns and distances to landmarks and relative humidity and dewpoints and on and on andonandon... I got it in the first ten minutes, there's a fire outside Flag, it's threatening homes, yadda yadda yadda. Give me updates when something new happens, or even when nothing new happens. Give me a ticker across the top or bottom, break in for a few minutes, whatever. That was rediculous. They eventually put the game on in a pic-in-pic, which gave me a 10" view on a 36" screen- I couldn't even read the score, much less follow the action. /rant

Sorry Spike...

Maybe next time you can come up and help me evacuate more people from their homes to get a better sense of priority....

Yeah, explaining how the weather affects a fire for 3 hours is really going to help the evacuees. It's not a priority issue, it's a sensationalism issue. 3 hours of watching smoke over the horizon- I'm sure that helped someone.

Many folks would only get their notice to evacuate from local media. I cannot guarantee that any of our Search & Rescue team, Fire, Sheriff, or Police staff could make it to everyone. If one life is saved, it's worth dropping sports coverage.

Sorry, EMS is a priority over games.

i'm with spike, i'd much rather watch a bunch of pansys slapping each others sweaty bodies and chasing a ball around.

 

[BMAN]

[Cantinero]

Oh Rhino, I had no idea you were... like that. I'm having a bunch of guys over this weekend for a marathon game of touch football, do you think you could make it? I've been watering the back yard for a solid week! This is gonna be great fun...

I just got a visual I'm not sure I will ever recover from. I'll send my therapists bill to you.

 

[MaddBaggins]

"Rockcrawling, because most sports you only need one ball."

Drove past the ashes and burnt trees today before heading back from Flag. Got pretty darn close to that campground.

We had fire bombers over head most of the day on Smiley Rock trail and the smoke cloud looked big from Jerome.
