between Summit & Sierra

We drove through that area yesterday and the winds were just so incredible. It was some of the worst winds I have ever been in so I hope that it has slowed down today or it will be very dangerous for the firefighters and the homes in the area.

My wife is driving past it now and can see flames from the 15. It is stopped traffic. I told her the cams look clear of traffic on the other side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
She made it past and is now doing 80mph. So expect a small delay.
I should have added that she was going South on the 15. ::)

100-150 acres

I went right through it this morning. I go south on the 15fwy then circle back on the liitle used 210 local traffic ramp. It was quite a sight.
