Got it. Thanks, John. A good reminder to all that the fire is not yet completely out. Take care.

Me and a few neighbors have been discussing going in on starlink dish, so that if an emergency happens in town we can just set it up and pay for a month of service. Plus having generators I feel like that would be good preparation for another event like this.

I have starlink and it works well. They now have an RV version that is portable and you can start and stop membership as well. Might be what you were looking for

I was told by a neighbor that Hwy 2 to 138 is closed due to another fire. Any factual basis to this info? Thanks.

The north American monsoon season has arrived earlier than usual, and we may get some rain and thunderstorms on 6-22-2022. There might be a chance of mud and debris flows in the burn area during thunderstorms.

Fire in the pass, just north of Devore on the north side of the 15. https://www.alertwildfire.org/region/orangecoca/?camera=Axis-SanSevaine1

It looks like it made a pretty big run up a hillside. And here we sit, 30 minutes after the fire started (12:48pm) and the only aerial thing I can see is a single helicopter....in this weather. Firefighting at it's best.

Joe Schmoe · « **Reply #159 on:** Aug 17, 22, 01:54:45 PM »

First phoschek drop at 1:25pm...nearly 45 minutes after the fire started. Fire looks much more subdued now.
