King fire in the Sierra

[louemc]

Pretty smoky as far away as Murphys, this morning.

Guy in gas station said they had it out, yesterday, then they caught a guy setting fires..Holding him on a 10 million $$$ bond, now.

It's out of control again (that's what I'm hearing).

Yeah, I got a cousin who lives in Pollock Pines He's been evacuated for several days now. It's a horrible fire. I was hoping the rain would help yesterday but doesn't look like it did.

I'm thinking of our beautiful sierras. Very upsetting news regarding the arsonist.

Smokey as hell here in the foothills, glad I only work outside half the time. Last year I ignored it and paid the price with respitory infection.

There are a few interesting video clips on You Tube of the pyrocumulus cloud created by it. Here's one link but it will lead to the others:

The guy in the gas station was smoking crack if he said they have it out. 76,376 acres - 10% contained.

Here are some shots I took from the valley floor- the third shot is the Lake Tahoe side of the first shot that someone sent me.

Thanks... we took our beating last year and a few minor spankings this year, however, the King Fire has some really scary potential to explode into a really big fire.

that a person would willingly set this fire and destroy so much beauty seriously bums me out.

I say, tie him to a tree, in the middle of the raging fire, and come back one the ashes are cool.

When people talk about the terrorists attacking us here, this is one of my greatest fears.

We can't rebuild the forests in 15 years.

The fire gods are angry and need a sacrifice of an arsonist.

(This shot is from the Reno side)
