Yup! South Lake Tahoe mandatory evac started yesterday and there’s a high wind warning until tomorrow night. Gonna be real ugly. There is plenty of terrain that is impossible to work for the fire crews. This fire is less than 15% contained and the winds will probably lower that number. We were up to the lake last Saturday night near Incline Village(north east side for those that don’t know) and the smoke was pretty heavy then. This morning in Reno the AQI is pretty decent at 74. Was over 350 last week and probably be climbing again fairly quickly.
Boy, those environmentalists sure are great at taking care of the environment…
Looking at at the cams in South Lake Tahoe, there is zero traffic moving about. Looks like most folks took the evac orders and left. Sadly, probably some miscreants willing to take advantage stared behind to do some looting while folks are gone. Some looting in the Lassen/Plumas areas during the Dixie fire up there. Over 750K acres on that one.
