I have friends in California near the ocean who said tonight they had ash on their cars, and yesterday could taste and smell the soot in the air though they are 4 hours away from any actual fire itself.
Anyone that wants more information regarding the Camp Fire...you can go to actionnewsnew.com they have archived reports as well as streaming. It has been pretty much 24-7 fire coverage. They did this during the Carr Fire too. Not too bad as its a lot of kids that have gotten jobs in a not so great market. Baptism by fire, so to speak. Many go out by themselves to cover the fire and act as their own cameraman. In time they will learn to ask the right questions instead of the “how do your feel...” question, but hey, for many it is their first job out of college and they are doing well enough...Since internet is very spotty...cell service non-existent, the television local news is the only thing we have. To date, they have not sensationalized the story, only pretty much giving needed information, even when the have to stretch it to cover the time.
