[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 3052971, member: 68542"] Man these fires are always hard to see. In 2020 my area got hit by the Alameda fire, and we learned how brutal the right conditions can be. 1-2% humidity and winds up to 40mph were blowing hot fire hot spots for miles. It took out 2800 houses in half a days time. When it gets to cooking like that, there’s not much you can do. And if you have a lot of dry fuel for the fire, even catching it minutes from start can be too late. In 2 hours, our fire had moved 5 miles down the freeway, and in 4 hours post ignition it was 9 miles long. I hope everyone gets out of this one, and that weather turns soon to help the firefighters. Sometimes that’s the only thing that changes the course of a fire like this. [/QUOTE]
