Are we looking at a possible situation like we did the Toilet Paper Fire? Is it possible it will hit the west end of Wrightwood area? (Big Pines area)

operates the Mount Wilson seismic station. It has recorded all the important California earthquakes for 100 years. The #Bobcat fire threatens to destroy it today.

They are going to have to stop the northeast spread of the fire.

The wind is supposed to shift to the NE. Wouldn't that change blow it back?

Joe Schmoe · « **Reply #198 on:** Sep 07, 20, 10:13:47 PM »

I hope, but will only last a few days. Good for the untouched canyon, but bad for foothill communities.

Yes. Wind out of the northeast will blow the fire to the southwest.
