That picture of that woman holding her head and bawling in overwhelmed disbelieving grief almost reminds me of Lot’s wife, (no, I’m not talking about Trent!) who then turned into a pillar of salt! It’s truly a haunting picture!!!
I am afraid that it has not burned enough homes to result in a meaningfull policy change. It looks like it burned only enough to justify expansion of the current regulations.
Evidently it is burning north and has jumped both highway 89 and highway 50. It will burn all the way to the edge of the lake. At that point it will get real interesting.
I also note that it burned some of the older, less valuable homes off of Pioneer road. I can see a gov’t buy out for these homeowners...maybe they got some left over FEMA trailers in Hope Arkansas that these folks could have....provided they moved elsewhere.
